Evidently the message Hasni to yet made it to Hollywood which still thinks All southerners Are named Billy Bob drive pickups with Shotgun Racks and marry their cousins. That a the impression you get from director Jonathan Lynn and writer Dale Launer the Guys who concocted this engaging fish out of water Story. But before Southern natives grow too outraged it should be noted that Lynn and Launer Are equal Opportunity stereotypes a they cheerfully Bash Noo Yankas As Well. The southerners in this Case Are the denizens of a sleepy Alabama town. A couple of new York born College students Mitchel Whitfield and Ralph Macchio who Are taking the Scenic route Back to school in California cruise in and Stop at a local convenience store. Quicker than a Coon dog can tree its prey the duo Are implicated in the murder of the clerk shortly after they leave the store and the local authorities done to want to hear their protestations of innocence. A thousand Miles from Home with Little Money the boys rack their brains for a solution until finally the Light bulb goes off above Macchio a head a his Cousin Vinny is a lawyer. A few frantic phone Calls later and Vincent Laguar Dia Gambini Joe Pesci is roaring into town in a Pink Cadillac Clad head to toe in leather with his Tough talking Fiance Lisa Marisa Tomei in Tow. Its More than obvious that they re a Long Way from the Bronx. When Vinny suggests that her Black miniskirt and sky High heels might attract undue attention she fires Back a ooh right like you  what the boys done to know is that Vinny graduated from Law school years ago but passed the bar exam Only a few weeks before a on his sixth try. He has been spending his time since then As an ambulance Chaser handling tawdry per Sonal injury lawsuits and has never argued a Case in court. This will be his first turn in the spotlight and if he bombs two College kids get the chair. As with last years Semi hit Sleeper the super Pesci takes the relatively weak material he a Given a lot further than seems possible particularly in his deft handling of the aforementioned fish out of water gags. When Vinny gets a steaming plate of grits shoved at him in the local diner he asks what it is. A a ainu to you never heard of grits a the Cook says. Quot sure a Vinny replies. A a it a just that in be never actually seen a grit  Vinny would surely blow this Case in a heartbeat especially after running afoul of the towns judge Fred Gwynna stickler for procedure who does no to appreciate Vin nyx a antics in the least. Quot a two boots in question Vinny starts Only to be Cut off by Gwynne a did you say boots what a a Yoot a but in a Nice twist on the usual helpless female role Launer and Lynn have Lisa play a key part late in the film in aiding Vin nyx Scase. Tomei is a minor revelation As an outer Borough bad girl with a heart of Gold and a head filled with what turns out to be crucial information on automotive engineering and the film  have been nearly As intricately pleasing without her. That a not to say this is cerebral material. But if you play along and take it in the spirit in which its intended my Cousin Vinny offers solid laughs More than enough to Nab three  12 a sunday april 19, 1992
