Summary: Not Very Funny
Review: "Trapped in Paradise" was not a complete waste of time but it certainly wasn't a very good movie. I don't care much for Cage and Carvey, but I'm a big Jon Lovitz fan and I was disappointed that he chose to participate in this movie. It wasn't a horrible movie, it just wasn't funny. Jon Lovitz even did better in "High School High," which all in all wan't a masterpeice either but, well . . . you know. I would not blame the actors (even though they weren't funny) for the fault of its stupidity, but rather the writer. This movie's dialogue was pathetic. The movie had great potential and a good story-line but what it lacked was good dialouge. In "High School High," Jon Lovitz was involved as the star of the movie and though the story-line was poor, the dialogue was fantastic and he made the parts that he had really funny. In "Trapped in Paradise" he nor Cage and Carvey could do that because, while the story-line had potential, they weren't given "funny" characters. They never had a chance!

Summary: Trapped In Paradise Entraps You!!!
Review: 3 brothers (Nicholas Cage, Dana Carvey, and Jon Lovitz) heist a bank in a little town known as Paradise. After robbing the bank, Cage, Lovitz, and Carvey find it rather difficult to leave with the money due to the FBI, their kidnapped mother, and two local police officers whose liscence plate begins with DUH! They constantly run into the locals who live a quaint little lifestyle and are always willing to lend a helping hand. With the starring of Cage, Carvey, and Lovitz, you'd think that it would be a hysterical movie. After watching it, the movie does have some funny moments,and the entire idea is kind of quirky, but overall it's not as funny as one would project. However, the movie is very compelling and it sucks you in. It really makes you want to move to Paradise!!! Overall it's a fun and chrarming movie that you could watch snuggled up to your loved one or with your kids.

Summary: Trapped In Paradise
Review: I'd just like to say that this movie rules, and Alvin is the best! Dana Carvey and Jon Lovitz are both really awesome actors. Usually Nicolas Cage isn't my favourite, but in this movie he's cool. Most reviewers, (ones that I've seen anyways) hate Trapped in Paradise, but as you may have guessed, I don't agree with them. If you like movies, you'll like this. So rent it,now!

Summary: You'll laugh until your gut hurts!
Review: I've been waiting patiently forever for this movie to finally come out on DVD. Nicholas Cage, John Lovitz and Dana Carvey make this movie utterly hilarious throughout. Cage plays the typical normal, logical, calculating brother of the 3. John Lovitz is the brother you can never trust and Carvey is a goofy, klepto-maniac who hardly uses any common sense. When these 3 come together in a scene it's hard to imagine something funny "not" happening. 3 Diverse and conflicting personalities make for a great comedy farse!

Summary: Truly Awful -A waste of ten bucks.
Review: It's hard for me to believe that this movie has received an average Amazon rate of 4 stars. It makes me wonder if the same person hasn't written in 7 or 8 times. I am a devoted Cage fan, and so went into this film with high expectations. As a whole, I found the film a complete disappointment. The gags were weary, the dialogue was tiresome, and the plot was thin. Even the slapstick style humor was weak; almost Benny Hill-esque. The only reason to buy this film is to complete a Cage or Carvey collection, and even then, I'd make it last on the list. Everyone in this film has done better, funnier work. If you're really considering buying it, take your ten bucks down the street and give it to some homeless guy, or buy a handful of lottery tickets, or anything else at all.

Summary: Warm & Fun Family Movie!
Review: This Christmas season, throw a log on the fire, make a nice batch of egg nog and gather the family around the screen to enjoy a very funny, light-hearted and warm feel good family movie. A fast paced gem, with fine performances from all the characters. In the same comedy genre of "groundhog day", just a good movie to make you feel good.

Summary: Not to be taken seriously, just enjoy the comedy on display!
Review: This is actually quite a charming little holiday movie that is not well known. Nick Cage, John Lovitz and Dana Carvey play three brothers. Lovitz and Carvey just get out of prison and convince their brother to go to little Paradise, Pa during Christmas to deliver a note from a fellow inmate to his daughter.Of course, the hidden agenda is that they know there is a bank there that is just ripe to be robbed. After convincing Brother Nick who wants to go straight, the three pull off the job. unfortunately, a huge snow storm prevents them from getting out of town. After their car crashes, they found themselves aided and taken in by no less than the Bank President and his family. After seeing how nice the people of Paradise are, they decide to try and put the money back. Meanwhile, a mobster inmate has escaped Prison and abducts the brothers mom as the bank job was his idea. This is really a pretty funny movie. I've wondered why it doesn't pop up more at Christmas time as it does have a very strong Christmas spirit to it.

Summary: WHY DID IT DO BADLY??
Review: This Is One of The Greatest Movies EVER, Even Though It Flunked on All Levels of Cinematic History. I Could Not Stop Laughing at This Movie, and I Always Keep it On my Christmas Movie Agenda. The cast is amazing, btu I would not have casted Cage for a script like this.
