    One of a classic good comedy, good plot, Killed by Unpaid critics.

    Did you ever see a comedy that is realistic? Comedy is usually an exaggeration of a situation that makes us laugh. When critics call it stupid, watch out. Most likely they did not get paid under the payola system. Here is another one movie that was killed by the critics that was sabotaged,,,,"Trapped in Paradise"

    If all comedy have to make sense, then from good Bob Hope movies up to the best ones in the last 30 years are all bad.

    People have your own freedom of thinking. IF YOU REALLY HATE IT on your own that's OK and better than listening to the so called experts or critics.

    Why has this movie been erased?

    I can't remember the last time this movie was on premium tv. Maybe TBS IN '97! Such a fun movie.

    Silly and entertaining

    This movie has lots of big-name actors. Sure, it wouldn't have won any Golden Globes or anything. Yes, I saw the ceremony right after I watched this. Many movies were honored for real social significance and important lessons. None of that can be found here. It's just good clean fun--well, cleaned up, apparently, because there were some sound editing problems that reminded me of network broadcasts that had been sanitized. Actually, this movie is close to being family-friendly. And of course there is lots of physical comedy.

    Hector Elizondo, who I know best as the man who built an outdoor products empire with the help of his marketing genius, gives the standout performance here. He seems to be a fairly standard professional man until he starts realizing what an opportunity he has, and then he kind of goes off the deep end.

    Heidi Ziegler also stands out as the annoying little girl.

    Everyone else is good, but the performances are nothing innovative. Just entertaining.

    The writing is silly and good for plenty of laughs.

    If you just want a good time, this might be for you.

    great cast limited laughs

    Prison psychologist Willis Embry (Jeff Daniels) is told by dying inmate Tricks about a hidden mob loot. Lyle Corrente (Chazz Palminteri) overhears the conversation and escapes with Handsome Harry (Jonathan Banks) and Marvin Boyd (Harris Yulin). They almost kill Willis. The three criminals take over the home of the Rutledges (Hector Elizondo, Judith Ivey). Willis convinces divorcee Jessie Lodge (Catherine O'Hara) to dig in her basement. Their married suburban neighbors Lydia Nunn (Rhea Perlman) and Jeffrey Babitt (Dabney Coleman) start to notice the commotion.

    This is a great diverse cast. There are some good comedic actors but the laughs are limited. While it's not overtly awful, it does fall flat for the most part. Writer/director Bill Phillips struggles to put together some traditional jokes. It's a lot of slightly quirky situations in a comedic crime story that never amounts to actual laughing. Hector Elizondo's reveal is head-scratching. I don't think it works and it leaves the flow bumpy.

    Really Funny

    This movie is one of a kind. It was portrayed by funny man Jeff Daniels and also great actress Catherine O'hara. With a funny surprise ending it will keep you guessing. AT the end you'll say "That was a funny good movie"

    • Trivia
      The scene where Lyle Corrente (Chazz Palminteri) broke the 10-year old's (Paige Gabney) glasses required 18 retakes because Chazz Palminteri could not stop breaking character with hysterical laughter when the young actor would start crying. It went on so long that the production ran out of prop pairs of glasses and had to pay a production assistant to break her actual pair of glasses.
    • Goofs
      In the basement, Harry rips a glass out of Peedi's hand and smashes it to the ground. A quick cut and he rips the cup out of her hand, again - this time not smashing it.
