Artivels Undescribable Perfection
Mjeteconer Just perfect...
PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
Mike LeMar What's not to like about this one? It's hilarious! I know he's not the best actor, but this is one of Nicolas Cage's best movies (certainly as far as COMEDY goes, at least). It causes me genuine laughter all the way through. It doesn't contain any corny or dull jokes--quality humor. This is a favorite in my book.
anchoreddown When you put people like Saturday Night Live's Dana Carvey and John Lovitz on the screen together, you know there's going to be a few good laughs. Toss Mr. Nicolas Cage in and you've got a trio that is able to bounce anything off the other and make it come out even more hysterical. Cage stars as the oddball while Lovitz and Carvey star as small time crooks. Welcome these three gentlemen to Paradise, Pennslvania. They are new in town looking for someone none of them know, however when they walk into the bank to find this 'Sarah' person, they discover that it's going to be an easy pick, especially on Christmas Eve. They get the money and they're out. The hard part is getting out of town. Mixing slapstick with down to earth friendly community people who are willing to love anybody, humor and extreme difficulty sparks in this Christmas comedy not to be missed.
dearmond-1 Al though this movie isn't at the bottom of my list, this is among the worse commercial movies I have seen. I do not understand why Nick Cage took on this movie. There are only two things that rise slightly above category, but these are not enough to change my vote: Dana Carvey and his slick and funny pickpocketing and Florence Stanley is funny — I liked her a lot. She and Dana raise the movie to 1.5, which is still short of 2.The acting sucks and the writing sucks. And the plot sucks big time. The movie is roughly a modern version of slap stick. Classical slap stick is probably better. The finale was worse than the movie itself. Essentially, the finale was predictable.
BruceHannan Nicolas Cage plays the great straight guy while his 2 brothers played by Jon Lovitz and Dana Carvey supply the comedy value, in this hugely entertaining and funny movie. Things don't go to plan when the Firpo brothers try to rob the peaceful town of Paradise and get stuck there on Christmas Eve, only to find that they have robbed the nicest town on earth. I think Cage is great in this film, like in 'Peggy Sue Got Married', 'Family Man' and 'It Could Happen to You' he plays a lovable character that is full of emotion which you just can't imagine anyone else playing. There's also a great moment in the film where he looses his temper and he almost transforms into Castor Troy from Face/Off. If you're a fan of Nicolas Cage and not just the action stuff, you should see this movie and it's even better at Christmas time.
