Summary: (by John Wiggins, via www.imdb.com)

  "Bill Gambini and Stanley Rothenstein are 
  two friends from New York...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 
  than they leave the store, they are arrested. 
  ...Bill and Stan do not have enough money for 
  a lawyer, so the good news is that Bill has 
  a lawyer in his family, his cousin, Vincent 
  Laguardia Gambini. The bad news is that Vinny 
  is an inexperienced lawyer who has not been 
  at a trial..."

My Comments:

  Our last movie for the calendar year...so I
  thought it is more fitting to show a comedy.
  In addition, I thought it would be interesting
  to watch a movie set in Alabama (considering
  what just happened there recently with the 
  election)...but it focuses mostly in clash of
  cultures.
