Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

Touches You

Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

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.

Bill Firpo (Nicolas Cage) tries to keep honest. However his brothers Dave (Jon Lovitz) and kleptomaniac Alvin (Dana Carvey) get early parole due to overcrowding. Bill is pulled back in as they go to Paradise, Pennsylvania to find Sarah based on another inmate's story. They find the small local bank so lax in security that they have to rob it. They have to get the keys to the vault from bank president Clifford Anderson (Donald Moffat). On the way out, they crash their getaway car. They are rescued and brought to the Andersons and their upstairs renter bank worker Sarah Collins (Mädchen Amick). None of them recognize that the brothers are the robbers. The criminal who had the original idea to rob the bank finds out. The FBI led by agent Shaddus Peyser (Richard Jenkins) are also looking for them. They keep failing to get away while the people in town are all so very nice.Dana Carvey has that annoying voice and face. He is stupid in a hateful way. Jon Lovitz is slightly better by comparison. Nicolas Cage is angry and with good reasons. The three brother are so annoying that there are unlikeable. They are unfunny. And the jokes fall flat. The big chase isn't anything fun. It is generally boring and most of the blame has to be laid at writer/director George Gallo's feet.

Absolutely moronic film starring Nicolas Cage, with 2 absolutely stupid brothers who are constantly in trouble with the law and have just been released from prison.By some fluke of the imagination, Cage becomes involved with the brothers (Jon Lovitz and Dana Carvey) in a bank robbery.The brothers, realizing they have done wrong, try to return the money to the local church.Some laughs are provided by their mother, played by the late Florence Stanley.The jokes, for the most part, are as obnoxious as the film itself. The best part is the snowstorm that the town of Paradise, Pa. undergoes during this film.There are the usual chase scenes with the bad guys and the police, unfortunately, are made to look very foolish here.Actually, this film is really from Hades. Should be avoided at all cost.

I liked the cast with three very diverse lead characters played by macho Nicholas Cage, fatso Jon Lovitz and wimpy Dana Carvey. Two of the three actors did good jobs playing their guys, too. Unfortunately, the big star - Cage ("Bill Firpo") - gave a bad and abrasively loud performance. If you would have asked me in advance to pick one of the three who might bomb, I wouldn't have selected him.Lovitz, as "Dave Firpo," had the best lines in the film. As "Alvin Firpo," Carvey's kleptomania problems were funny at first but grew tiresome fairly fast. Sadly, the story wasn't that good, either, although it should have been. This premise about crooks being unable to get out of town due to various weird situations, in here it's mainly a snowstorm.If you want a better movie about being trapped somewhere and trying to escape with the loot, watch Bill Murray, Geena Davis and Randy Quaid in "Quick Change." That's a heckuva lot funnier film.
