Underrated.
Underrated. I won’t belabor relating and describing the plot, because that’s been recited nicely by numerous others. I’ll simply return to my one word point. Underrated. Even though Marisa Tomei broke through and won Best Supporting Actress at the Academy Awards for her performance, an award she earned and much deserved, I still say underrated. This film really never got on the public’s radar the way it should have, probably because there are no big-name actors featured as box office draw. Joe Pesci was as good as it gets that way. In 1991 he was the hottest name in the cast. But has Joes Pesci ever established himself as a leading man who could carry a movie by himself? I ask that in open-ended wonderment, and certainly not disparagingly. Just asking, is it fair, has it ever been fair, to expect Joe Pesci to carry a film?

Regardless of Joe Pesci’s latent starpower, this cast of players as assembled possessed remarkable chemistry in the performances they gave, not only in their interactions with one another, but also in the creation of a final product that excels way beyond the sum of its parts, beyond any of their individual levels of genius, certainly beyond anything that could ever have been reasonably expected of them. Competent though they may have been, these were not thespian heavyweights or comedic savants. You ever wonder why this singular performance 15+ years ago and counting remains Marisa Tomei’s magnum opus? That might be one big reason why. The Germans have a word for this. It’s called gestalt.

My inclination is to give most of the credit for this winning final product to director Jonathan Lynn. It seems obviously to be his creation. Who else singularly deserves it? Along the way it would have been such a cheap trick and easy thing to surrender to the obvious, but Lynn didn’t do it. This is a story built around stereotypes. New Yorkers. Ethnic Italian New Yorkers. Southerners. Small town southerners. Southern justice. Southern small town justice with New York Italians in the dock. It would have been so easy to traffic in those stereotypes, to over-the-top cash in on them, to submerge the movie in them and to exploit them for all they were worth. These people could have been made into cardboard cartoons of themselves. Surely the Englishman Lynn was thusly tempted, but it was a temptation he mainly resisted. Oh, almost obligatorily, he dances us over to that edge and gives us a big whiff of all that, but instead of jumping in and wallowing in the stereotypes, he deftly pulls it back and carries it all off and away in a new and different direction, indeed in an uplifting direction. Just as there are no cheap tricks in this movie, there are no cheap shots either. People are not ridiculed for who they are or where they are from. It rises above that. Lynn raises it above that. Yes, the regional differences that exist are juxtaposed. And yes, we get the fact that cultural differences divide these characters. But the beauty of it is that no one is treated unfairly. In fact, the viewer comes away with the feeling that these are all good people.

Joe Pesci and Marisa Tomei are given a broad canvas to create great humorous art, bouncing one, two, three liners or more off of each other, at the other’s expense. It’s the game they play with each other, the nature of their characters’ relationship, and it’s fun to watch. And this must be said: not only does Marisa give an exquisite performance, she is an utterly delightful feminine creature to watch here. As for the southerners, in not taking the bait to exploit the southerners as dumb hicks, Lynne actually captures part of the true but rarely portrayed essence of the south: polite gentility. Lane Smith embodies that essence. And Fred Gwynne? He practically steals the show, and would have were it not for Marisa Tomei.

What has been going through Joe Pesci’s and Marisa Tomei’s heads for the last 15 years? What is wrong with their agents? These two needed a sequel. If not a sequel, then more film(s) together. The dynamic between them was too good to just be abandoned. We should have been treated to much more of them together.

As a trial lawyer let me say that the portrayal of courtroom events, while certainly not perfect, is more than adequate and passable. One thing that is accurately captured is the fish-out-of-water experience of a city lawyer when subjected to trying a case in a far-flung rural county. This depicton conveys the essence of what that’s like.

This movie deserves more recognition. It is clever, funny, and fun. I recommend it. If you haven’t seen it, do yourself a favor and indulge yourself.

A Lawyer In The Family
My Cousin Vinny if it does nothing else sets forth the proposition that it’s a good thing to have a lawyer in the family. Can you imagine what a good defense attorney might have cost Ralph Macchio and Mitchell Whitfield if Pesci was not Macchio’s cousin Vinny?

Of course for a lot of the film that does not seem like a good idea because not only is Pesci a newly minted attorney, but he’s a Brooklyn Italian trying a case among the good old boys in Alabama. The culture clash is shocking and Pesci can’t seem to do anything, but irritate the judge Fred Gwynne with his manner and dress.

These two ‘youts’ are in quite a jackpot. Driving through Beechum County, Alabama they stop at a convenience store and Macchio forgets to pay for some twinkies. When the cops stop them, they confess to the accidental burglary, but in fact the convenience store clerk had just been shot and killed by two other ‘youts’. Macchio and Whitfield are arrested for murder and armed robbery.

This very serious situation even while the audience never forgets how serious it is for the boys, the film concentrates on the culture clash between Joe Pesci and the residents of Beechum County from whom a jury will be chosen.

Aiding and abetting Pesci is girlfriend Marisa Tomei, a beautician who has an encyclopedic knowledge of auto mechanics having been raised in a family of them. She also is a quick study on courtroom procedure and Alpha male that Pesci is, Tomei really does save him, especially during the trial itself. Not to mention the boys.

So very few Oscars are given for comic performances and I think Marisa Tomei was as surprised as everyone else when she won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress. I’m sure she thought she was there to round out the field, but she won it and she’s nothing short of brilliant, especially in her scenes in the courtroom.

I would also take note of prosecutor Lane Smith, the down home southern lawyer who’s used to winning and doesn’t like being upstaged by a Yankee in his home town. My Cousin Vinny also was the farewell performance for Fred Gwynne who until this last role was best known as Herman Munster. He and Pesci play off each other beautifully.

So if you’ve got an argumentative sort in your family, encourage him or her in the direction of the legal profession. My Cousin Vinny is the best argument I can make for that proposition.
