Not from around here, are ya? ‘My Cousin Vinny’ came out 30 years ago on Mar. 13, 1992, giving the world one of the wonkiest fish-out-of-water comedies in movie history. ‘My Cousin Vinny’ stars Joe Pesci as Vincent Gambini, a New York lawyer who finds himself defending his cousin from a wrongful murder case down in Alabama. The problem: he just passed the bar after his 6th attempt AND it’s his first trial ever.
‘My Cousin Vinny’ poked fun at both city slickers and rural life, along with the absurdity of the criminal justice system. The movie was a critical and commercial success, earning $64.1 million at box offices along with a Best Supporting Actress Oscar for Maria Tomei, who played Vinny’s sassy girlfriend Mona Lisa in the movie.
