Two friends from New York are accused of murder in rural Alabama while on their way back to college. One of them calls on his lawyer cousin Vinny (Joe Pesci) to help with the case. Unfortunately, Vinny is an inexperienced, loudmouth lawyer not accustomed to Southern rules and manners--and worse yet, he brings his abrasive foul-mouth finance (Marisa Tomei) along with him. Tomei won the Oscar for the Best Supporting Actress and Pesci won the American Comedy Award for Funniest Actor. Captions
