Product ReviewsRaising Arizona (DVD, 1999)

The "Citizen Kane" of infertility-based kidnap films

If you enjoyed the new TV show "My Name is Earl" (NBC Fall 2005), then you must experience the stylistic (but not plot-based) inspiration: Raising Arizona.

Directed and written with originality, cast with future Oscar winners, this comedy defies easy explanation -- but delivers the laughs. The plot allows you to explore the deeper meanings of parenthood, recidivism, and infertility -- but it is the slapstick humor and writing that are the real payoffs. And, repeated viewings only reveals the dialogue to be more clever (and quotable).

Okay then.Read full review...

good movie

This movie is hilarious. As one of the first movies Nicolas Cage did and he is so funny. Holly Hunter is great also John good night and this morning as well as Francis McDormand. Worth a look

Nicholas Cage at the beck and call of his wife

I've seen this movie before. Hilarious and also captures the struggle for many women out there.

raising arizona

Well, definitely one of the most off-beat movies I have ever seen. Quite hilarious! Dry humor! Great actors! I have this one as an all time fave as well. It is for those who appreciate dry humor and the quick witted. Nicholas Cage is awesome in this movie. Love his hair. NOT! But, it goes well with the goofy character. Rent or buy for sure. It is a dont miss.Read full review...
