It Could Happen to You

Imagine that you've fallen asleep in front of the TV. You are dreaming that you are a child. You meet this nice old lady. She offers you candy. You eat it. She offers you more candy. You eat. And more candy. When you can't eat any more, and you want to leave, she holds your head, and starts shoving candy down your throat. And more candy. And more candy. THEN you wake up. You're an adult again. But you're watching this sickenly sweet fairy tale. THIS is the point where you start screaming.

Cheesy feel-good heartstring puller that doesn't do much of a job. And Rosie Perez is intensely irritating.

Quite boring and not Cages best work.

No, it really couldn't. Only chumps play the lottery, much less give away half the winning ticket.

Crazy

Bridget Fonda, what were years did to you..

What a story, some funny monster with cage’s side head posing???, but what a story about humanity, greed and togetherness. What a amazing watch

Damn - Turner Classics has some garbage in their queue. Any time the comic relief falls on the shoulders of Rosie Perez, you're gonna feel robbed of a little life. Nick Cage is not good when he's kind and unassuming. He should only dwell in depravity and confusion.

Everthing is super nice and family friendly but therefore also super bland. I feel sorry for Rosie Perez as an actress!

Romantic ? Eh. Comedy ? Non. Specially the second half make it worse. Waste of time.

second half kinda ruined it

Every SJWs nightmare. White hero cop falls in love with pretty angelic white lady, who is a much better person than his nagging, materialistic, egotistical, petty poc bitch of a wife. He also stops a robbery, where a stingy Asian's store is held up by a Muslim crook. Oh, and there's a wise old black man trope narrating in between. :) The ending was really thick with the cheese. All the courtroom stuff and the uncalled for "Oh, I'm not good for you" plot line. Otherwise nice lady porn.

This should have been charming but Rosie Perez's character was so ugly, and not because of her acting, but because of a script that seemed to need to vilify someone on its way to getting a nice police officer matched up with a better mate (specifically a cute blonde who is polite, although not without spunk.)

The script is by the numbers and predictable for this movie. But the cast work well together and they make the mediocre script better. Overall I would recommend this movie.

childish

Loved this movie as a kid, and just saw it last night 21 years later.. It's a cheesy story with some cheesy actors but it's a feelgood movie. I enjoyed it!

One of the most warmhearted movies I've ever seen.

A colossally stupid movie with two lead actors that I just completely fell for.

4 of 4 -- Entertainment. 0 of 2 -- Food For Thought. 2 of 2 -- Opens The Heart. 1 of 2 -- Sustainability Values.

A quaint and cute film.

So so romantic comedy. I have seen a lot worse.

Revisited (2)

Nick Cage plays a guy who isn't a crazy psychopath!? What the FUCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCK

"Nicolas Cage has a uniform fetish": Doomed I deem the person who's brave enough to witness/these dumb little adventures of kind cop and waitress/despite difficulties and troubles, don't worry, they'll be soon/exultant and over Manhattan in a smiley air balloon/and though it seemed the film had something small to say/drowned it was by stupidity and miserable cliché/and since potential was done in since this rom-com's lill' proem/it ended up, oh naturally, as stupid as this poem.

Feel good fluff that made me feel bad. I often wondered what can be worse than Nic Cage, this movie gives me an answer - Rosie Perez.

#90s#, story, (Bridget F, N Cage)

Nothing to see here.

Guilty pleasure. I loved it back then. But I was 13, so...

Just very low key and bland.

Melodrama.

Schmaltzy, but entertaining.

Creates old Hollywood feel and is memorable

Appealing, because of Cage and based-on-a-true-story quality. Other then that, nothing to see here.

I shouldn't admit this, but I actually liked this flick which I've seen about a dozen times (Once worked in a video shop, says it all really)

Oh my gawd, Rosie Perez is like so annoying!

okay movie

Bloody awful. Nothing redeeming at all.

entertaining romantic comedy.

pleasant

A very pleasant romantic comedy.

When I first saw this movie, I wasn't all that impressed. But it seems like it comes on cable TV a lot, and when it does I often find myself watching it. So it has something.

OK, I loved this movie. I still watch it whenever it's on.

Not hte best Nic Cage movie but still Nic Cage.

If it happens to me, please kill me.

Great hollywood schlock.

Always worry about movies that are "based on a true story" This is not Nick Cages best work, but isn't his worst either. Plus Rosie Perez is always a joy on screen. This is story about keeping your word. Average film, enjoyable but not spectacular.

Yep. Rosie Perez still needs to die. However, even if her role were recast with a human female, this movie would still suck more than a black hole.

A nice fairy tale that clashes with reality, but it's not really more than a mediocre film.
