9/10

6.0 out of 10.0

Let me start by saying every Movie is not a 10 or even an 8, or a great Movie, but there are many good Movies out there, some like this one, I think many have not seen them, but it's one of my Favorite Christmas Movies to watch and never miss it, it's on my must watch list each year.

I like the 3 main Characters and actors in it, it can be a bit silly in a few scenes, but overall I like it, it's a Crime movie that is also heartwarming at times.

It's Funny, silly & crazy, I like everyone in it, it's got a nice ending that suits the Movie well, Nicholas Cage is his typical self in this Movie, at times a bit overacting, but I like him and most of his Movies.

Give it a try, I think you will like it, too many people expect every Movie they watch to be the best ever, I look for good little Movies like this one.

Decent watch, could watch again, but can't recommend unless you just want to throw back to the early 90's.

This is a great example of "weird" acting by people you may recognize as great, or at least famous, actors.

Jon Lovitz hasn't changed much, but Dana Carvey certainly plays his role goofy for comedy's sake, but I have no idea what Nicholas Cage is doing in this one.

He starts pretty sane, and then kicks off like he just re-discovered cocaine, and then just when you think he's going to even out, he wildly bounces back and forth between personalities.

The actual over-complicated story of these guys robbing a small town bank and being at the mercy of those they robbed, confronted with the moral implications of their theft versus their own personal adversities is pretty interesting, but the palatable depth of the story is overriden by a lot of comedy, some of which doesn't land, and some of which is weighed down by the situations.

I don't think anyone is going to hate this movie, but there are just so many other things to watch.

You've reached the end.
