    Underrated

    What's not to like about this one? It's hilarious! I know he's not the best actor, but this is one of Nicolas Cage's best movies (certainly as far as COMEDY goes, at least). It causes me genuine laughter all the way through. It doesn't contain any corny or dull jokes--quality humor. This is a favorite in my book.

    No no no It is GOOD

    This movie is quite funny, you don't have to be a fan of Dana carvey or anything too. It was a good story and has funny plots throughout the movie as well. The guy who reviewed this before is wrong and is a typical this movie sucks that movie sucks critic. Jon Lovitz, Nicholas Cage, and Dana Carvey, are all hilarious in this flick and also just did a great job acting. These were the good Ole days and not the new days where its just stupid fart humor, and no class with the comedy, just sick and gross things. This had cache and goes down as a very funny movie. Go rent or buy it , its cheap and worth the cash spent. Toodles

    Comic Entertainment

    Although I haven't seen it in a while, what I remember of Trapped in Paradise was a whole lot of laughs. It's got a great cast, great plot (simple but fun) and a whole lot more. See Trapped in Paradise and I'm sure you'll have a fun time! 3/5 stars--

    Pretty good

    I just can't understand why this movie has such a low rating, its a good Christmas movie, and Dana Carvey is hilarious. Overall, it has a very good cast, with him, Jon Lovitz and Nick Cage. I enjoyed, good way to spend a snowy day.

    A Great Movie about Small Town America at Christmas Time

    I absolutely adore this movie. This movie was not made to dazzle people or make them stand back and go "wow that was an awesome scene." Trapped in Paradise is about the healing powers of a small town at Christmas. If you've ever live in a small town, or even visited one, you could relate to this movie. To me, this is more of a feel good comedy than anything. It might not hit a lot of top ten lists because its not flashy and it doesn't have a huge trailer, but its a good movie to sit down and laugh to and make you feel good about the human race once again. Nicholas Cage, John Lovitt, and Dana Carvey's characters are believable, even if they are not dynamic. I highly recommend this movie for anyone, from the young to the young at heart.

      Bill Firpo: Which direction are we going?

      Alvin Firpo: North.

      Bill Firpo: Are you sure? I thought we passed that farmhouse earlier.

      Dave Firpo: No, those farmhouses all look alike...

      Bill Firpo: Alvin, if we're going in circles, I'm going to break your neck.

      Alvin Firpo: We're not. I took four lefts, just like the map said.

      Bill Firpo: FOUR LEFTS IS A CIRCLE, YOU IDIOT.
