Review of Raising Arizona (1987) by Thebadfella — 16 Aug 2023
Growing up, this was one of my favorite movies. On some days, it still is. Definitely one of my favorite screwball comedies of all time. It makes me crack up so hard sometimes and I do think it is one of the finer Coen brothers films, but maybe I'm just a victim of nostalgia.
Nicolas Cage is incredible in this movie. It may seem easy to do what he's doing, but it's harder than it seems. Holly Hunter is great, John Goodman is great, everybody in this movie delivers a great performance, even Frances McDormand, who's barely in it.
This is just a really funny movie with a surprisingly sweet ending.
