Two Line Reviews - #258

Movie: Arizona Raising (1987)


Plot: A con man and a police woman marry; When they come to know they can't give birth to a child, they kidnap one of a wealthy man's pentuple kids. This silly act follows more silly acts from the conman and lands them in deep trouble. Finally they save the kid from a maniac searching it for bounty and return it back to its father.

Highlights:
  • Again, an attempt at the silly comedy genre by the Coens. This one isn't as convincing as the ones they have made in the following years but not a bad one for starters.
  • An extremely young Nicolas Cage brings some of his acting skills to the party and is the main showman.
  • The funny lines are enjoyable and the 'man on the bike from hell' helps in providing nonsensical fun.
Lowlights:
There are so many wasteful sequences bringing no fun to the proceedings.

Partly funny; Partly Nonsensical; and Partly Boring.
