Being aired on TBS, My Cousin Vinny is a 1992 comedy film written by Dale Launer, and directed by Jonathan Lynn, starring Joe Pesci, Ralph Macchio and Marisa Tomei, and featuring Fred Gwynne in his final role. The film deals with two New Yorkers traveling through rural Alabama who are wrongly accused of murder, and the comedic attempts of a cousin, Vinny Gambini, a newly minted lawyer, to defend them.
Much of the humor comes from the contrasting personalities of the Italian American Vinny and his fiancee Mona Lisa Vito, and the more somber Southern townspeople. Pesci gained strong praise for his comedic lead role while Tomei won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for her performance.(source)
Marisa Tomei won an Oscar for her delightful portrayal of Vinny’s girlfriend. With a budget of $11,000,000, My Cousin Vinny was more successful than any had anticipated, grossing $52,929,168 domestically and $11,159,384 in the foreign markets, bringing its overall total to $64,088,552.
