Die Welt ist ungerecht! Während der Einbrecher Hi Nicolas Cage und die Polizistin Ed Holly Hunter keine Kinder bekommen können, freut sich Millionär Arizona über die Geburt von Fünflingen. Was macht da schon eins weniger, denkt sich Hi, entführt kurzerhand eines der Babys – und löst mit der Aktion das totale Chaos aus. Denn hinter dem knuddeligen Kleinen sind außer seiner Familie auch noch zwei Amateurgangster und ein brutaler Kopfgeldjäger her. Eine turbulent-chaotische Jagd nach Junior beginnt ...

5.0 out of 5 stars Sly & subversive fun 27 May 2000
By A Customer
Format:VHS Tape
This is one of the great overlooked comedies of all time. It features Nicholas Cage, John Gooden and Holly Hunter in roles that will be a surprise to you based on other work they've done. Nicholas Cage in particular is great fun as a loopy crook who is attempting to set his life straight when his wife (Holly Hunter) decides they need to kidnap a baby; John Gooden is Cage's ex-con buddy. But instead of following this formula through predictable, Hollywood paces, the Coen brothers send it over-the-top. You can't help but laugh at the plot, the actors, and the movie makers themselves for putting this concoction together. Buy it, watch it, make your friends watch it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Funny, just very very funny. 12 May 2003
Format:DVD
If, like me, you hate all that 'over the top' american humour that seems to be rammed down our throat's by 'this years stand up comedian turned actor' then you'll love this 'over the top' american comedy. Yes it's farcical at times and yes it's in an 'over the top' style but it's totally balanced by the fact that this film contains so much fantastic humour. Hunter and Cage act their socks off as a comedy/tragic couple rather in the way Hoskins did in Roger Rabbit, The Coen brothers - what were they on when they wrote this - yet it's all done with such precission and timing, then add to that the manic camera work of Sonnenfeld and the totally manic sondtrack of Burwell, plus John Goodman at his mean best and you get the feeling that everything must have just slotted into place nicely on set, which probably belies the real amount of effort that must have gone into making this film.
So take next years 'stand up comedian turned actor' and sit him down to watch this before he even thinks of wasting our valuable time. This sends canned laughter back to where it belongs - the can.

By @GeekZilla9000 TOP 100 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
Format:DVD
Repeat offender Herbert finds romance in an unlikely place, and after several meetings at the police station he proposes to police officer Edwina. It's a white-trash fairytale - until they realise they are unable to have children together. When a local couple have six babies in one go - they figure they won't miss one...

This Coen brothers comedy manages to turn a pair of child snatchers into a couple you feel for. Although they are child abductors it's difficult to dislike them, their reasoning is flawed but they are driven by good intentions and despite their actions they are essentially well meaning folk who have lost touch with reality. After stealing one of the quints they feel their family is complete and their love for their new son is touching, you know that it can't last though and events become more surreal when old friends turn up on the doorstep - when you're trying to not attract the attention of the law you really don't need escaped convicts lodging in your house.

Both Nicolas Cage and Holly Hunter are perfectly cast as the dysfunctional couple. This dark comedy contains more drama than humour and their ability to portray inner turmoil makes them feel like rounded individuals, they have an emotional depth and their own personal story helps drive the film. Despite the craziness of the situation, the drama surrounding their relationship is powerful and the most effective scenes are the ones where it's just Cage and Hunter. We aren't just watching a daft comedy about a childless couple running from the law, we get so see a relationship which at first appeared solid, start to break down because of the pressure it tries to absorb. This is something of a human tragedy and the viewer witnesses Herb and Ed begin to re-assess their lives and come to some difficult realisations.

Most of the humour comes from the prison escapees, John Goodman is particularly brilliant and their scenes often descend into farce. The pure comedy elements are sometimes stretched to excessive duration and tend to drag, it's something which benefits the more intense scenes, but it can stilt the funny parts so that they lose their impact. There are surreal moments too, concerning a biker who appears in visions, which don't seem to fit in with the rest of the film. But for all of the bits which don't work as well there are moments of absolute brilliance which make the film an edgy and genuinely entertaining watch.

In a nutshell: Superb acting and a clever script mean that this trailer-park farce retains enough heart to bring the characters to life and make you want to see what happens to them - though maybe not the devil biker guy.

5.0 out of 5 stars You can't keep a good man down. Especially when the last name is Coen.
Nicolas Cage at his most, geeky and awkward and so un-Mr Hollywood(en) best! Why, oh why, did he head down to the Hollywood strip and Sunset Boulevard and not stay in Arizona? Read more
