I like movies with heart & while Joel & Ethan’s work is always technically brilliant, it’s also often kinda cold. Raising Arizona is a wonderful exception. If you like Fargo, you’ll love this. It’s a beautiful, funny, silly, heartfelt love story.

About a criminal and a policewoman who get together and aspire for a child. Un able to have one they...abduct a child from a large family and aspire to parent. Mayhem follows. Funny.

COEN BROTHERS + NICK CAGE + HOLLY HUNTER = ONLY 3 STARS. SORRY!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 March 2021Verified Purchase
This is a review of the standard 2013 All Region Blu-ray from 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment. It provides a very good reproduction of this Coen Brothers film from 1987.
The Coen Brothers, Ethan and Joel, are responsible for a long, distinguished list of wonderful (largely but not exclusively) comedy films, which they have written, directed, produced, since ‘Blood Simple’ in 1984. Mixed in with the magical laughs ~ The Big Lebowski’(1998); ‘O Brother, Where Art Thou?’(2000) ~ there has been much darker hilarity ~ ‘Fargo’(1996) ~ and some high quality serious films with or without a humorous leaven ~ ‘True Grit’(2010); ‘Miller’s Crossing’(1990); ‘Bridge of Spies’(2015). Whilst not every one of their films has been lauded ~ their ill-fated remake of British icon ‘The Ladykillers’(2004) was poorly received and much-criticised ~ they have an unparalleled reputation and track record for quality cinema.
I am also familiar with the films of both Nicolas Cage and Holly Hunter. Both have starred in some superb films. Cage is excellent in dramatic roles: ‘Moonstruck’(1987); ‘Joe’(2013) but was never better than in the riotously entertaining ‘Con Air’(1997). Hunter has starred in several Coen films, but is sublime in her OSCAR-winning role as Ada, in Jane Campion’s ‘The Piano’(1993). They star here as the ex-Con and Police Officer, ‘Hi’ and ‘Ed’, who marry. Amongst their fellow stars are 2 other Coen regulars, the brilliant, effortlessly funny, John Goodman, and Frances McDormand, who is also Mrs Joel Coen. McDormand won her first OSCAR for ‘Fargo’.
So, this all sounds like a winning combination. And to a degree it is. The Coens set out to create a lighter, more spritely film that earlier efforts, more optimistic and upbeat. They wrote the screenplay jointly, Joel directed. The central plot premise is good, and the screenplay is amusing and inventive. There is a genuinely poignant and emotional dimension to the story. And as we would expect of the Coens, there are some really clever and imaginative characters. The ‘Motor Bike Rider of the Apocalypse’ Leonard Smalls, played with murderous relish by huge actor and martial artist Randall "Tex" Cobb, is a typical Coen invention, and quite brilliant. McDormand’s Dot is another of her clever personas, and Goodman is funny. But this is not either Cage’s or Hunter’s best film, by a long chalk. Their scripts are not brilliant, and there is a lot of unnecessary and unfunny gurning and grimacing. Cage found the experience difficult, as his suggestions and ideas about his role were totally ignored.
Terms like ‘screwball comedy’ and ‘madcap’ have been used for the film. Certainly, it is energetic and quite bonkers, and there are some really funny scenes, and two novel and brilliant fights. But it all has a slightly forced feel to it, as though everyone is pushing too hard, working too manically, and consciously trying to be funny. So, in the end, sadly, this film merits only a strong 3 Stars. Sorry!

John Goodman’s character is very tedious in this. Nick Cage and Holly Hunter are good and the whole southern thang is quite enjoyable. Story is kind of silly-sweet. Ok if there’s nothing else on.

I was glad to add this film to my collection as it's one of my favourites of the Coens.
It did arrive with fragments of the case broken, the integrity of the case and the disc itself where both fine so I felt no need to return it.

N Cage not so great in this film
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 16 October 2014Verified Purchase
The film plays brilliantly...was recommended by a friend as a great movie to watch. I dont call it great at all. N Cage is MUCH better now that he is older and has less hair ;-) My not caring about the film has nothing to do with the seller or their merchandise, just the movie.

Wacky, wacked caper for the Reagan era
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 November 2012Verified Purchase
One of my favourite Coen brothers films, almost a live action cartoon in some stretches. Nicholas of Cage is superb as the dumb ass H.I trying to keep his 'family' together. There are some superb lines and exemplary screaming from all involved. Not for fans of the brothers more serious work.
