8/10
Wonderfully Offbeat Comedy
4 April 2005
This is probably the Coen brothers' most funny film, next to The Big Lebowski. Nicolas Cage and Holly Hunter play an unlikely couple (an ex-convict and a cop) who are unable to have children of their own or even adopt one due to Cage's criminal record. When they find out that a big-wig department store owner and his wife just gave birth to a set of quintuplets, they figure that if they steal one of them the man and his wife won't care. What follows is a wonderfully offbeat story sprinkled with hilarious dry humor and bits of slapstick comedy. This is a movie that will leave you thinking and laughing about it long after its over. Nicolas Cage has never been more hilarious in a movie. A must see. 8.4/10.
