It Could Happen to You (1994)

It Could Happen to You is a Real Sweet Film

[6/10 · 5 August 2013]

It was some many years before I ever got around to watching this lovely film, but as I've seen it multiple times in the last five years or so, now I hold it dear as one of the fonder movies. It has such a real decency to it. It's realistic display of depicting a very kind gesture, sharing millions of lottery winnings money with a complete stranger, makes it simultaneously edgy while homely. It Could Happen to You is a soft-spoken hit film. There's not a lot of fuss to how good it is, it's just there, and it's just good. It's lead by its acting, with such good actors and actresses. Nicolas Cage, Bridget Fonda, and Rosie Perez are all very good for the viewing. I really like all three of these movie stars. This is one of Nic Cage's more appreciative films, and he has so darn many. Bridget Fonda gives a good, lovely performance starring in one of her best, most memorable movies. Rosie Perez is so good and she's doing her best to try to steal the show, but there's no way she would have been able to. The beautiful growing relationship between Charlie and Yvonne is too good in It Could Happen to You. It Could Happen to You is a great, great, great film to get lost in, really good to lose yourself in for a time. It's wonderful, and it really makes you think. After all, it could happen to you.
