If you need to laugh over the holiday, get this movie. It’s a silly movie, but It will make you laugh if you’ve been taking life too seriously lately.

Here’s the synopsis:

Bill Gambini and Stanley Rothenstein are 2 friends from New York University that just received scholarships to UCLA.

They decide to drive through the south. Once they arrive in Alabama, they stop at a local convenience store to pick up a few snacks. But, no sooner that they left the store, they were arrested.

They had thought that they were arrested for shoplifting, but they were arrested for murder and robbery. Plus, they are facing execution for this crime.

Bill and Stan do not have enough money for a lawyer, good news, that Bill has a lawyer in his family, his cousin, Vincent Laguardia Gambini. Bad news, is that Vinny is an inexperienced lawyer who has not been in a trial.

So, Vinny has to defend his clients and battle an uncompromising judge, some tough locals, and even his fiancée, Mona Lisa Vito who just does not know when to shut up, to prove his clients’ innocence.

Starring: Joe Pesci, Ralph Macchio, Marisa Tomei, Mitchell Whitfield, Fred Gwynne
