Aiden Melton The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

paulcheus This title and a few others (Return to paradise-1998) make you think: what would I do in that situation? I can rarely state this about a movie, but rarely movies make you think. Usually they get you going (for example violence movies) and....that's about it. Empty feeling all-around at the final. Not the case with this one. Great characters, even some really annoying ones, not going to say more, to spoil the fun for you guys..... Not searching online (or for a left over dvd somewhere) yet? Really? Go for it. I'm rating this one real high (9) for the feel good sensation left after watching it. And it's the 6th time I'm watching... Enjoy!

Davis P It could happen to you is a well made film about a police officer and his wife and how they won the lottery. BUT.... what his wife (Rosie Perez) doesn't know is that he had promised about half of his winnings to this waitress (Bridget Fonda) at a diner when he didn't have a tip to give her. This waitress had just very recently filed for bankruptcy and was struggling to get up enough money to divorce her jackass of a husband (Stanley Tucci). The movie has an interesting plot to it which I just explained, and that's what originally interested me in watching it. It's also very well acted and I thought the casting choices were great. First of all, Rosie Perez plays her role immensely well! I loved her as the b****y money obsessed wife of Nicholas cage. She has some really funny lines and some great scenes where her true colors as a character shine through. Nicholas Cage is good as the lead character. He is honest, kind hearted, and an all around decent guy who's just trying to do the right thing. And then we have Bridget Fonda. I really liked her as the waitress who Cage awards half his lottery winnings to. She's sweet, bubbly, but not bubbly in a brainless and stupid way, intelligent, and a character with a good bit of depth. The script had good humor, romance, and some warm hearted moments. 7/10 for it could happen to you.

Parker Lewis It Could Happen to You is based on real life events, although the ending of the movie is different to the real life event, and the movie mentions what happened to the real people in the end credits.I especially loved the ending, where an undercover newspaper photographer is helped out by Charlie Lang (Nicolas Cage, this was 20 or so years before his lead role in Left Behind) and Bridget Fonda (Single White Female) who console each other, slow dancing, as they ponder penniless life together. It's good to see there was no racial element in that scene given it's in New York if you know what I mean.Kay Tong Lim also deserves special recognition of his role in this fine and charming movie.

nightowl227 This is such a cute movie! I love how the characters-Yvonne and Charlie, win the lottery yet remain the same as they were before winning. They're still kind and selfless and I have to admire that. This is definitely a movie worth seeing. The acting is very good, I'm very impressed. I just don't know how Charlie married Muriel! They are totally different people. You have Muriel who wouldn't dare give money to a homeless man instead she would buy something for herself whereas Charlie is the complete opposite. Others come first and I think that's a lesson learned. The plot of this movie is so positive and so uplifting! I just love it! Charlie's character reminds me a bit of George Bailey from 'It's A Wonderful Life', another movie that I categorize into my favorites. So yes, you can say this is a positive review.
