Added because MY COUSIN VINNY is a great movie generally, and an excellent movie whenever Marissa Tomei was on the screen. Seldom has an actress deserved her Oscar more. I also am given to understand that lawyers in general love this movie for the same reason philosophers love GROUNDHOG DAY, or linguists ARRIVAL: to wit, it ‘gets’ their chosen profession. I know everybody reading this has probably already seen MCV, but go ahead and watch it again. It’s fun.
One thought on “Movie of the Week: MY COUSIN VINNY.”

The British director was formerly an barrister in his home country and tried his best to get the process of a trial as correct as he can make it. Of course, as Vinny himself said in the movie, law school teaches you the law. The law firm teaches you the procedures.
Law school actually uses this movie to demonstrate on what to do and not to do in a trial.
