Hey!
This instantly became one of my favourite movies. I love Vinny and Lisa's relationship and the pacing of this film really made it an enjoyable watch.
Hope you're all doing well and you enjoy the reaction.
Cheers
Ryan
Staple of my childhood! Very rewatchable and very quotable! Glad to see you back! Can’t wait for the next reaction. 👍🏽♥️
The actor who played the judge was the lead in an old TV show called “The Munsters”.
His character was made to look like Frankenstein’s monster.
I remember actor Fred Gwynne as "Officer Francis Muldoon" of "Car 54 Where Are You?" (1961-1963)

Nice surprise to see you doing more reactions. And it’s always fun to see this classic. Especially Marisa Tomei, who won the Academy Award for best supporting actress for her role as Lisa.
In my college years in California I had 3 roommates from the South and 2 from New York, one from England (next door apt guy from UK too) as well as a girl friend from Texas. They were always getting confused on each others speech, idioms, slang and down home sayings.
Marisa Tomei is great! "Can't belive that she sits at home alone". (Seinfeld) I loved you reaction to that F'**** OWL! 21:40 LOL! MEGA-LOL! (Is that a thing?) Glad to see you back, you react in a such a calm gentle way and provide good insights on the camera work and stuff. Thanks from Sweden.
Thank you very much John I appreciate the comment!
Loved the intro. The dramatic squeaks and everything.
A few years ago, my mom took a course on the the Constitution at the local community center. She couldn't help asking the teacher, a retired judge, what he thought of this film. His face lit up, and he said he loved it, and that most judges and lawyers do, as much for its accuracy as for its humor. Director Jonathan Lynn (who co-created and co-wrote Yes Minister and Yes, Prime Minister for the BBC) has an MA in Law from Cambridge and wanted the courtroom scenes to be entirely accurate, with some room for artistic license.
Marisa Tomei won the Academy Award for Best Actress this film. For years, some people repeated the nasty rumour that presenter Jack Palance had read the wrong name, but he didn't: she was deserving and she really won it.
Fred Gwynne, who played Judge Haller, famously played Herman Munster in the 1960's TV series The Munsters. He was born in New York City (Joe Pesci is actually from Newark, NJ) but spent a lot of his childhood in the south due to his father's travels, which might explain the ease with which he adopts a southern accent here. My Cousin Vinnie was Fred's final film.
This was also the final film of Paulene Myers (Mrs. Constance Riley, she of the thick glasses). Almost 20 years earlier, Paulene had a small role in a film called The Sting which won the Academy Award for Best Picture. Highly, highly recommended, especially if you enjoy heist films, and it has a wonderful and nostalgic score which won another Academy Award (to say nothing of five other Academy Award wins and three other nominations).
I like your intro, good reaction. Classic fun witty film I always enjoy. ✌😎
Thank you very much!
Fun to watch this along woth you. Such a unique comedy.
"My Cousin Vinny": New York Yankees find themselves living in the South, where they are "fish out of water." This legal comedy/drama puts us in the courtroom with ordinary and expert witnesses. Grits, eyeglasses, a can of Tuna, and tire tracks feature prominently in this movie. Remember: Always let your lawyer or Solicitor do the talking!;)
The guys who did it were arrested in Georgia, which is east of Alabama. Billy and Stan were going west to California. The Sheriff's office screwed up by following guys in the wrong direction
"You ate *sand* ?"
"We ate sand."
Indeed, quite.
A really great movie . It is not just a comedy I heard this movie is legally accurate lawyers learn from it. Other great legal dramas are The Rainmaker, A Civil Action, Erin Burchvich, Murder At First,The Nurmberg trail. The part that always kills me is the public defender who looks so perfect and than he is completely useless where he cant speak at court.
My pop was a lawyer and he said that this, 12 Angry Men, and A Few Good Men are the only 3 court-room movies worth a s***.
@@gggooding You should watch the other movies they are great
Welcome back, Ryan... good movie to ease back in with. The owl is one of my favorite gags... never fails to break me, even tho I've seen this dozens of times.
If you rewatch it, check out the actors in the background when the public defender gives his opening statement. One of the bailiffs loses it, and "Stan" has to turn his back to the cam at one point 😀
I’m gonna go back to check this lol thanks Greg
One of my favourite films! Marisa Tomei stole the show 🏴
I missed your voice…And insight of course ☺️ hope you’re doing well and hope to see more from you again soon.
9:53
Is your attorney here?
I am the attorney -
Oh...
That was a rewarding watch -
'Nice to see you back at this, sharing your experience of this film -
Peace
Thanks Blue good to see you still watching !
Wasn't the guy with the "deep voice" either in The Munsters or The Adams Family. I mix them up.
Munsters and this film was his last performance, as he died very soon after.
Man I'm really happy to see you did this movie, it was always a favorite of mine growing up. It's always remained in a classification of movies that if I'm flicking through the channels and it's on, I'll keep it. The only level of classification above it is the " I'm supposed to leave In 5 minuts but I'm willing to be late, I just wanna see a few scenes" movies in this top tier obviously godfather, Shawshank, Goodfellas, Jurassic park, good will hunting, Forrest Gump. Ect.
Thanks for the video. I enjoyed it.
The actor with the speech impediment is also in the farce comedy What’s Up Doc with Barbra Streisand and Ryan O’Neal. Hilarious! Joe Pesci did the knocking over the chess pieces by accident. I’d also review the 1970s screwball comedy Foul Play with Chevy Chase and Oscar winner Goldie Hawn and sex comedy Porky’s from the 1980’s set in the 1950s.
Thanks for the info, I love how they kept acting after the accident and it made it into the film. Those are the magic moments
Welcome back!
Ralph Macchio he was 31 years in this movie
PS
Hey, Ryan -
This led me to your list of films you'd reacted to. I rewatched AWAKENINGS, a favorite of mine, and i wondered whether you had seen RAIN MAN (1988)
Dustin Hoffman, Tom Cruise
I didn't see it in your catalog, so i'm supposing that either you have already seen it and didn't want to rereact, or else it simply had gotten past you somehow. If, the latter, i would recommend you see it and ask that you'd share your reaction with us.
It is a wonderfully wonderous film and one i'm certain you'll not want to have missed.
Peace -
Your voice feels like a cross between Alasdair MacLean and Nick Drake. Which (as far as I'm concerned, anyway) is a good thing.
Yes!! Absolutely love this movie. Glad you enjoyed it.
Glad you are back. I was wondering where you were. Can you please reactive to these movies: The Others, Split, One Flew Over the Cockoos Nest, The Green Mile and a very underrated movie Wind River.
Always enjoy your reactions! Tell us about how school is going.
Hi Tracy! I’ve been on summer break but working on other stuff for the university like advertising and so on. Gonna start my final year in a couple of weeks
Love the intro!!
Marisa Tomei won an Oscar for this one. Really funny movie. Good old days.
Welcome back man!
Thank you Sam!
I love this movie. There's no real bad guy in this movie (except if you consider the real murderers) and once the innocence of Bill and Stan becomes clear, all charges are dropped. Most law enforcement and prosecutors are not corrupt.
Fun Fact: When Vinny is trying to explain his "real name" to Judge Haller, he knocks over the judge's chess board. This was accidental but director Jonathan Lynn thought it was so funny and authentic he decided to leave it in the film.
Two Youths Fact: The misunderstanding between Vincent Gambini and Judge Haller regarding the two "youts" was in fact a real conversation between Joe Pesci and director Jonathan Lynn. Lynn, who is British, at first had a hard time understanding Pesci's pronounced New York accent. He decided that the routine was quite funny and put it in the film.
True Crime Fact: Director Jonathan Lynn actually has a law degree and insisted the film's legal proceedings be realistic. In fact, many attorneys and law professors have praised the film for its accurate depiction of trial strategy and courtroom procedure, especially with regards to presenting expert witnesses at trial. In fact, the film has been screened at some law schools to illustrate courtroom procedures.
"Most law enforcement and prosecutors are not corrupt." Depends on your definition of corrupt. An honest prosecutor would have dismissed the charges the moment their eyewitness evidence fell apart. The fact they didn't means they don't care what's true, just gambling on what they can get away with.
Glad to see you doing reactions again. I found your channel a while back and appreciate the tone of your reactions and how you offer deeper insight into the actual cinematography.
If you haven't seen it, you should check out Wind River. It's such a breathtaking movie. It'd be cool to see your reaction.
Thanks Lee!
Seattle here, loving your reaction. 😍 Fun to watch you do something light. I’m going to request The Fisher King and What Dreams May Come with Robin Williams. I think both would be great cinematic experiences for you. Cheers! 💜
Thanks Stacey! I haven’t seen either of those
Nice to see ya. Looking much more relaxed. Great choice,enjoy
If you like a classic courtroom comedy/drama, IMHO the best American one is Anatomy of a Murder. This is a close second. Great reaction!
Wow
Good pick!
Hey brother thanks for stopping by
Im about to watch your reaction and I'm not exactly sure how youre gonna feel about it. You appreciate story (shiindlers list+ goodwill hunting) but you also appreciate cinematic experience ( Forrest Gump+ saving Private Ryan) this has neither lol. But I have a feeling you might connect with the heart of this movie. If you can see past the silliness it's really is a touching story. Two young guys traveling are wrongfully convicted of murder in small town America. Unable to afford an attorney they settle for a family lawyer from new York who travels to the south and despite being a fish out of water and constantly stumbling along the way he finds a way to win the case, freeing the two men and earning the respect of he judge, prosecutor, sherriffe and most importantly the woman he loves.
Not only is it a good story but it manages to portray both Italian Americans from the northeast and small town southern folk as caricatures of themselves , leaning heavily on stereotypes, but somehow not come off as belittling, demeaning, insulting, and disrespectful two both. Yes Vinny and Mona Lisa are fish out of water, but they aren't bofunes. They point out the absurdities but they don't mock. The southerners know they do things a little different, a little slower, a little less flashy, but they aren't backwards, they aren't corrupt, they aren't trying to knowingly wrongfully convict the two young men, there isn't any shady dealings or corrupt ploys by the sheriff and prosecutor. When people are prove wrong they are able to self reflect and take criticism. I think the movie strikes a great balance that way. It's not easy when writing a fish out of water story to avoid going for the cheap laugh. Making either the fish or the water into a cartoonist joke is a lazy way to do that. But to write a fight out of water where both sides are respected and the story is original and also has a lot of heart and memorable dialogue as well. That's really something.
Most people in the states will immediately recognize a few quotables from this movie.
"The two yoots"
"Are you sure about that 5 minuts?"
"You put ya little deer lips to get drink of water and BAM!"
"you were serious about that?"
"Are you guys aware of the ongoing cholesterol problem in this country"
If I can please recommend a few great movies that I don't see any other TH-camrs react to and some that alot have.
1) a Bronx tale
2) blow
3) the hurricane (denzels best performance)
4) casino
5) boondock saints
6) mallrats
7) dazed and confused
8) the wolf of wall street
9) 51st dates
10) the town
11) sunshine
12) the Bourne identity
13) remember the Titans.
Thanks man look forward to whatever comes next keep up the great work. Cheers

Thanks for both your comments mate! You really know my reactions well and it is really encouraging to get comments like these.
Hopefully you could tell that this film immediately got a place in my heart.
And yeah I kept waiting for the sheriff or whatever to employ shady tactics but they did it so well.
I really loved it.
Thanks for the recommendations . I’ll be doing a live this week looking at my letterboxd and stuff too.
Thank you for the comments!

Is that a Manchester accent I detect?
very close tbh! I'm from Bradford but the accents are very similar
What’s the deal with your eye ?
Marissa Tomei is awesome. Has been since she was young. One of her best ever is The Wrestler, which you would really enjoy.
my guy, watch more shit lol.
The wig and the subtitles don't sit well with me. To American for me.
Wig?
None of that makes any fucking sense, Phil..
