For this last group of movies, I got other people to recommend me some options. First up this Joe Pesci special.
Two youths get themselves in trouble down in Alabamy when they confess to a crime, but not the one the sheriff is interested in. Eventually claiming innocent, they get a cousin who is a big city lawyer... who has never actually tried a case before. Fortunately, he has a financee who is much classier than him.
Yeah, no, this was great! I've heard about this, but this is indeed my first time, and it charmed the socks off of me. Joe Pesci is great, not too smarmy (as his character could be), but more realistic of his abilities. Marisa Tomei puts on an outrageous accent, but is the best character in the movie. The Southerners don't come off that well, but are still treated authentically all around.
But as to the realism of the case... judge, I would like to call in an expert witness:
[END]

I am shocked you have never seen this one before. As you rightly say, it is a great movie, and Marisa Tomei does sterling work as Mona. Surprised that the Karate Kid went bad so quickly after his big win
