It Could Happen To You (1994)


Dreadfully dull romantic comedy about a Big Apple beat cop (Nicholas
Cage) who tips a waitress (Bridget Fonda) two million dollars (from a
lottery ticket that he split with her).  The atmosphere (New York as New
York) is great and Fonda is uniformly appealing, but Cage's role is so
ill-defined that he's neither a decent foil to Fonda nor a solid center
to the story.  Costar Rosey Perez is annoying as Cage's annoying wife.

Director Andrew Bergman once airlifted a planeload of flying Elvises
(Elvii?) in HONEYMOON AND VEGAS.  And wrote THE IN-LAWS.  Rent those
instead.

Grade: C-
