Jim Carrey and Joe Pesci both star in humorous courtroom comedies. They use their humor to win their cases and bring many laughs to their audience.

Joe Pesci, who plays Vincent LaGuardia Gambini in My Cousin Vinny is in a rather trying situation himself. He has only been a lawyer for six weeks, and he passed his bar exam after six tries.

Speaking of emotions, Marisa Tomei plays the role of Mona Lisa Vito, the fiancee of Vincent LaGuardia Gambini. She is put in a odd situation-one in...
