Amazon.co.uk Review

Inspired by an actual incident, this unassuming, wonderfully good-natured romantic comedy tells the story of a New York City street cop named Charlie (Nicolas Cage) who makes a promise to a coffee-shop waitress named Yvonne (Bridget Fonda) that will change both their lives. One day after coffee, Charlie is embarrassed to discover he doesn't have money for a tip, so he tells Yvonne that he'll share half of his winnings if the lottery ticket he's holding comes up a winner. Sure enough, he wins the jackpot--a whopping US$4 million payoff--and Charlie's wife, Muriel (Rosie Perez), goes ballistic when he tells her about his deal with Yvonne. From this point, It Could Happen to You follows Charlie's dilemma as he is forced to decide the proper course of action, and director Andrew Bergman smoothly incorporates a gentle love story into this amusing crisis of conscience. Fonda and Cage have an easygoing chemistry that adds a pleasant touch to the movie's fairy-tale plot, and It Could Happen to You's kindhearted sentiment is never so thick that it becomes sticky-sweet or artificial. As feel-good comedies go, this one's a class act. --Jeff Shannon

5.0 out of 5 stars It Could Happen to You, 11 July 2007
By ray dorrity "ray dorrity" (New Forest, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Lovely movie. Cage and Fonda have a wonderful on screen chemistry that just shines.
Normally, I'm very critical and "picky" (as we say in UK) about movies, but this one is fault free.
You'll enjoy it.

This has to be one of my favourite films of all time. If you like Nicolas Cage, Bridget Fonda & romantic films you'll love this. Buy it, you can watch again & again.

3.0 out of 5 stars All Charlie wants out of life are a few simple things...., 21 Feb 2000
By A Customer
: to be a good cop and a helpful neighbour; to love his wife and start a family. Unfortunately his wife (Rosie Perez) is a scheming money-grabbing, social-climbing superbitch, who is starting to regret marrying Charlie (Nicolas Cage). Then there's Yvonne Biasi (Bridget Fonda), a good hearted waitress at a small coffee shop who's been driven to bankruptcy by her estranged husband. Charlie ends up in Yvonnes coffee shop one lunchtime and on realizing he doesn't have enough cash for a tip he promises to share with her any winnings from the lottery ticket he has just bought. When Charlie wins $4million things get very interesting indeed....
