Raising Arizona 5

This movie is hilarious. It is funny and touching without being sappy. The characters are larger-than-life, but still believable. Contains one of the funniest scenes I have seen.

Adorable, hilarious, non-gory Coen brothers. If you're looking for a not too violent, one of the best Coen bros. movie, this is the one. Cage is very endearing in it.

This is, without question, Nicholas Cage's best movie. I'm normally not a big fan of Holly Hunter, but even she turned in a great performance. And John Goodman was perfect as Cage's delinquent friend. Raising Arizona ranks right up there with Fargo as one of the Coen Brothers' best efforts. And, like the rest of the Coen's movies, it takes a slightly warped sense of humor to fully appreciate Raising Arizona. The scene where Cage robs a convenience store and has trouble getting away with the Pampers still makes me laugh.

Raising Arizona 5

Great freaking movie! Everytime I hear " Hey these blow up into funny shapes at all? Well, no not unless round is funny" I tell ya I just can't help but laugh. Or " Alright you hayseeds it's a stickup! Everybody freeze. Everybody down on the ground. (Long pause) Hayseed: Well, which is it Young Feller? You want I should freeze or get down on the ground? I mean to say, if'n I freeze I can't rightly drop. And if'n I drop, I'm gonna be in motion. Y'see... " Shut up!" Hayseed: Ok then.

The most original comedy movie I've ever seen. John Goodman steals the show. Nicholas Cage's best movie.

Hilarious! I've seen it a few times, and always find it just as funny. It's great to see what Nicholas Cage can really do. The Coen brothers really made their name with this film.

What a great movie! This and Fargo show the Coen Brothers at the best; Nicholas Cage was never better.
