On the face of it, "It could happen to you" could be regarded by cynics as a load of romantic slush, but it's far from that, and made even better because "It could happen to you" is based on a true story, and I, with my wife, enjoyed every minute of it.
To start with every time she and I think of Nicholas Cage this is the film that comes to mind, in fact in our view Nicholas Cage has done nothing to equal this wonderfully beautiful and just plain nice film, since.
Nicholas Cage could have been born a New York cop, because in this film he is the image of how I see the perfect cop, and this perfect cop goes through hell following a lottery win he promises to share with a waitress played by the wonderful Bridget Fonda even before he buys the ticket. Bridget Fonda excels as the hard working, hard done by Waitress whom Nicholas Cage meets up with in the cafe she works.
This film is a miniature "Its a wonderful life" because it gives people hope, and if tears aren't in your eyes at the end, then you are just not human.
