Rosie Perez plays the shrewish wife well beyond reasonable boundaries. The movie trots out every nasty New York cliche in the book. Nicholas Cage stumbles through the movie like Jackie Gleason's "Poor Soul."
On the plus side, Bridget Fonda scores well as the waitress whenever she is given the opportunity. Seymour Cassel is marvelous, stealing every scene in which he appears.
But, it's too mean-spirited and trite for me to ever wish to see again.
