Anemic comedy suffers from a fatal case of the cutes. Cop Nicolas Cage is forced by a promise to split his Lotto winnings with a good-hearted waitress (played by Bridget Fonda, giving us evidence why her career stalled in the late 1990s). Anyone who loves--or even mildly likes--a picture such as this doesn't understand the intricacies of movie romance. This is sub-"Sleepless In Seattle" (if that's possible). There is nothing visually interesting happening, nothing emotionally worthy occurring at any time, and there are no characters worth giving a damn about. Absolutely bankrupt, and one of the worst films of the decade. NO STARS from ****
