david-sarkies Well, I thought that the reviewers trashed this movie more than it really deserves. It wasn't the best of movies, but I did find that parts of it were funny. This movie is about two brothers who trick the third to go to a small town and rob a bank that is really easy to rob. Unfortunately they cannot get out of the town and end up giving all of the money back because they see the hearts behind the people.As I said, the movie isn't that great, but I do think that some people really watch too many movies and be a bit too critical about them. If one just relaxes, one can see the stupidity of this film. The whole comic concept is not watching police cars get smashed up, but rather watching a criminal walk across the road with the bank manager's wife, and then bring the entire café back because they can't leave them sitting there. It is just the unbelievable niceness and trust of the town. Unfortunately, later in the film it does start to lag in regards to the laughs, but I still think Dana Carvey's character is pretty cool - and more realistic as a kleptomaniac - so much as there is no order in what he steals, he simply steals because he can. The one character that did irritate me was Lovitt's.

ncurrie47 This movie is easily among the ten worst I have ever seen. It has absolutely no redeeming qualities. It's so bad it's past good and back to bad again, only worse. There is no way I can possibly convey in words just how bad this movie is.Oh, and I can't even begin to imagine what (if anything) goes on in the minds of people who claim to enjoy this movie. It's certainly possible that their brains were completely atrophied in the 111 minutes of their lives they spent in front of this complete waste of celluloid. Such is the potential danger of watching this movie in a state even resembling sobriety (or consciousness for that matter).This movie is worse than all the worst moments of all the worst Christmas movies strung together. In the name of all that is holy, please do not watch this movie. I've done all I can. If you still insist in watching this steaming pile of, um, really foul stuff, may god have mercy on your soul.

Brodie_Henter I have to say that one Saturday afternoon, thanks to Sky Movies, I was enlightened by this little move called 'Trapped in Paradise'. What first struck me was the fact that Dana Carvey is part of the cast. He is - without a doubt one of the funniest actors ... ever. And Nicholas Cage and do funny...who knew?!"Yeah we can get some ring-dings! Then we'll get some baloooons and go to the pupp't - show!"That is one of my favourite lines, as is:Alvin: "Who are you?" Guy who saved him from drowning: "Fred" Alvin: "Flinstone?" Guy who saved him from drowning: "Yeah" Alvin:"Oh..."Ah, Dana.Watch this movie, you will cry with laughter, you may even just laugh at Dana's facial expressions, but that is more than enough. x

judy young It was a good mixture of some action and comedy. There was a couple of spots I did not care for personally. Here I do not want to give out any information that would give anything away. Just some short scenes, that did not like. Overall it was good. I would recommend it to most anyone. It would be a very good show for the television stations to air at Christmas time. I happen to like Nicolas Cage as an actor. I watched it a few years ago. Now I own it and am going to enjoy my re-runs of it in the future. Watching the interactions of the three characters Cage, Lovitz, and Carvey was interesting. The turn of events were sometimes surprising and sometimes could be guessed. I did find the comment about where and how Tripod came to be in the movie interesting.
