Cute movie

I think I'm gonna watch this one again. Its been a VERY long time. Pretty funny.

I can't believe this is only receiving 3 stars from the faithful. Wow, you guys are nuts! This is one of the classics. John Goodman and whole slew of entertaining people in a very funny film.

that was cute

I must see...

full of great lines

Nicholas Cage....and I still don't enjoy it

never seen

Meh

CLASSIC

Pretty funny in an offbeat sort of way.

NOt sure at all.. but Id love to see it actually... the description looks interesting...

this movie should be the basis for a religion

pretty good

Never saw the movie

But I had to pick a rating.....stupid

It was really funny.

Nicolas Cage baby!

I loved this movie and would love to see it again, it's been years.

This is the shit! are you reformed? well.....ok then!!!!!

?

Don't really remember it

havent' seen it, can't judge good or bad

This movie was fun. They steal the baby then steal to take care of the baby...pretty funny movie

never heard of it

havent seen it

ok kinda stupid

I know, I know...I've GOTTA see this. But I haven't. It is in my Netflix que, however.

I would go four and one half stars. I don't consider it the Coen brothers best it was when they started to really get noticed by the mainstream. The cast is very good, the story a little weak, and the humor is spotty. But "A" for effort and for pushing the envelope big-time.

ORIGINAL COMMENT:  Destined to become a cult classic. All I can add is to state you should read the review posted by VirileVagabond.

UPDATE:  I saw it again last week on cable, and it still has its vigor.  I think that it is well on the way to become a cult classic.

Back when Nicholas Cage wasn't annoying

Very dry humor in this one and not much of a story.

The Cohen brother masterpiece.

Raising Arizona (released in 1987) is the Coen Brothers' sophomore film and is considered by many to be their best. The movie starts with an extended, philosophically tinged monologue by smalltime criminal H.I. Hi McDonnough (Nicolas Cage) on how he meet his ex-cop wife Ed (Holly Hunter) and their struggles to have baby. The couple read about how the wife of local business bigwig Nathan Arizona, Sr. (Trey Wilson) has just had quintuplets so they decide that they should get a share of the bounty and kidnap one of the infants. Arizona hires a rough, no questions asked bounty hunter Leonard Smalls (Randall Tex Cobb) to track down the missing baby while Hi's neighbors (Sam McMurray and Frances McDormand) and hoodlum friends (John Goodman and William Forsythe) get suspicious and want the baby for themselves. After evading all the traps and snares set by all the antagonists, including a hair raising chase with a stolen box of Huggies, our heroes ultimately decide that honesty is the best policy. While I am not a fan of Nicolas Cage, he along with Goodman and Cobb made this film especially with the eccentric musings of Cage's character as the film progresses. The bottom line is that Raising Arizona is a great, eccentric comedy that is very cerebral notwithstanding much of the physical humor.

Probably one of the funniest movies I have ever seen. Nicholas Cage and Holly Hunter are hilarious as the quirky couple searching for a toddler to adopt. John Goodman was very funny as a small-time crook, too. This movie made me laugh out loud.

A very witty, quirky and intelligent comedy, with Nick Cage in one of his best performances. The convenience store diaper robbery is particularly good.

ok i am the only one i think from what i glanced at that hated this movie. :( sorry:( i really have no opinion i just didnt like it for some reason.

Young Cohen brothers made good stuff even back in the day.

I just couldn't get into this flick, maybe it's the fact that Nick Cage is pure unadulterated evil.

I laughed so hard I cried.

This movie sucked. O Brother Where Art Thou?, now that's a funny movie.

Funniest movie of the 80's. Best line- when Nathan Arizona responds to the FBI's questioning of his stolen infant's pajamas: "I DUNNO! THEY HAD YODAS AND SH#@ ON THEM!"

More than a comedy, this is an all-around excellent film. Cage and Hunter are marvellous as a couple who, out of desperation, take matters into their own, though somewhat confused, hands. This film could have been dark or jaded, but it was handled with such a light touch that it turns out to be a positive affirmation of love and hope.

After I saw this movie, I started driving by convenience stores that were not on the way home

Marvelous - it even manages to make Cage's tired routine work.

This is another of those rare few I can never stop watching again and again. It was my introduction to the brilliant Nicholas Cage and I've been a fan ever since. A very funny, very original movie with a great cast.

This movie, I found funny but not hilariously funny. But still, I'd reccomend this one to anyone. It's pretty good, but I don't think it has what it takes to become a classic best.

Quite possibly the finest hour(and a half) for the Cohen Brothers. Cage & Hunter are flawless. John Goodman is properly used. Man, this is a riot.

This movie was great. Take a baby from the rich so a woman could have one. Mr. Cage was great- he's a very good actor. The scenes in the movie were shot in some hot locations.

Get ready for a psycho hilarious ride with Nick Cage. Truly a must see.

Rasing Arizona gets a 5 not only because it was funny, but also because of how bizarre it was- crazy sh-t happens. I could almost say this movie is "deep."
