An odd couple start a family via kidnapping.
14 March 2001
Nicolas Cage is an inept criminal that is arrested for a botched robbery. He falls in love with a cute police photographer (Holly Hunter)and the two yearn to start a family immediately after getting hitched. Adoption seems out of the question, so why not kidnap a baby from a wealthy family that recently welcomed quints into the world. Things get real dicey when an axe-swinging biker brute is hired to find the scoundrels that stole the baby.

The style and wit of Ethan and Joel Coen are beyond compare in the field of directing and writing comedy. Innovative camera work by Barry Sonnenfeld combined with laugh your butt off situations makes this movie a hoot to watch. Hilarious to the max.

Also notable performances by John Goodman, William Forsythe and Frances McDormand. This comedy just does not get old. A laugh riot.
