It Could Happen to You
_______________________
One day two cops go into a little coffee shop for a meal. It ends
abruptly when they are called away. An honest decent cop named Charlie
Lang (Nicholas Cage) has to pay the bill. He pays the adorable young
waitress Yvonne (Bridget Fonda), but doesn't have enough money for a tip.
So, he looks at the lottery ticket he bought earlier in the morning, and
says if he wins they will split the money, and if not he will bring the
tip back tomorrow. She thinks he is crazy, and also thinks she will never
see him again. Well, Charlie and his high-strung wife Muriel (Rosie Perez)
do win, and Muriel is ecstatic. She always wanted to be rich, and was angry
that she had to live in a little one room apartment in Queens. They end up
with 2 million dollars (after spliting it), since many other people won as
well. She gets so angry, when he tells her about the little agreement with
the waitress. Charlie knows it is the honest thing to do, so he gives the
waitress the money. She doesn't believe him at first, and then she gets so
happy. Her husband (who charged 12,000 on her MasterCard causing her to go
bankrupt) comes back and wants a piece of the action. Muriel goes and buys
herself all of these things, and could care less about helping the needy.
Charlie & Yvonne get together and donate money to charity, and give money to
the homeless, much to the dismay of Muriel. These two do-gooders are drawn
together, because of the money, and become good friends. Cage is excellent as
the very nice, and giving Charlie who cares more about others than he does
himself. Rosie Perez is hilarious as she shreaks her lines, and is perfect for
the role of the greedy, selfish Muriel. Fonda is adorable in the role of
Yvonne, who wants to help others, and in that way turns her disasterous life
around. The movie is fantastic, and the characters are developed extremely
well. Everything in this movie falls right into place. It kind of reminds of
Sleepless in Seattle, the way two people are drawn together. See this movie!
