It is interesting that the lawyer in 'My Cousin Vinny' was mentioned. I watched that movie years ago when it first came out, and I'm sure I probably chuckled at the stuttering experiences that the lawyer encountered. But, since I have been taking a fluency class, and have become more aware of how PWS are affected by their dysfluencies, I was totally disgusted by that scene when I happened to watch it on HBO a few weeks ago.
