Product Description
Three new york brothers target the small town of paradise for the score of the century not counting on the innate goodness of the townsfolk to thwart them at every turn. Studio: Tcfhe Release Date: 08/06/2007 Starring: Nicolas Cage Dana Carvey Run time: 111 minutes Rating: Pg13
Amazon.com
Three brothers (Nicolas Cage, Jon Lovitz, Dana Carvey) with a streak of lawbreaking in them head to a small town in Pennsylvania called Paradise, intending to rob a ripe bank there. But the people in the community turn out to be so nice that the thought of ripping them off proves difficult to imagine. The three leads each get to do their uniquely comic shticks, and that makes this film marginally watchable. But the pace is enervating and the story's main idea isn't all that well developed. --Tom Keogh

 Good premise, but just not funny June 12, 2008

No matter how you cut this film up, or what you compare it to, it just is not funny. A great cast of Nicholas Cage, Dana Carvey, and John Luvitz can not deliver enough punch to the awful lines of this film. The idea behind this is two small time crooks (Carvey and Luvitz) learn of a plan in prison about a small town bank that is ripe for the picking. All they need is a little help once they get outside. The help is in the form of thier somewhat honest brother (cage). The characters played by Carvey and Luvitz are just annoying, and Cage is just flat. And to top it off, they tried to add a love connection in it, just plain bad. I forced myself to finish watching this in the hopes it would get funny, but it didn't. Save your change, don't get this.
 HIDDEN TREASURE December 19, 2007
Enjoyable story about redemption and forgiveness. Hey, I'm sure you've already read the plot line and the details about this DVD. Moreover, if you're like me you probably don't like reading reviews that give away too much of the movie (a.k.a. spoilers). The bottom line is, I purchased this DVD because the first time I saw this movie was on television and I only caught part of it. Enjoying what I had watched so much, I wanted to see it in its entirety. It has since become a family favorite and an annual holiday viewing must. Heck, it even turned my daughter into a Nicolas Cage fan, so it must have something going for it.

A movie deserving of more attention September 21, 2005
9 out of 10 found this review helpful
My wife and I enjoyed this movie to rate as one of our
favorites. When you think about this movie, remember
the funny lines and mannerisms from the characters that
didn't need sex or swearing to make this movie oveall
just enjoyable. This movie brought humor and a warm
side to the story. Dana Carvey, nailed this performance
as the total idiot brother, and to see Cages frustration
in dealing with his siblings. It's amazing how many people
never saw or heard of this movie. Definitely a movie that
deserves praise...I rated this movie a 5 for its creativity
without having to bring profanity, violence, or sex to the
screen.
Hilarious and charming at the same time... February 13, 2005

This little known movie is one of my favorite movies of all time. It's great for the holidays but charming enough for anyone at anytime.
If you want to laugh out loud for two hours - watch this movie. It will instantly become a family favorite, especially at Christmas...
