My wife and I watch this movie every year during the holidays. We absolutely love it. "I'll have a funnel cake. It'll be the highlight of my day." "Where are my Mary Janes, Kate?" "I sell tires retail Kate, retail." Nicholas Cage's delivery is phenomenal. Probably one of his greatest performances and yet under the radar. Tea Leoni is fantastic. Jeremy Piven before he was really anyone. The scene in the bowling alley with the Fidelity Bank and Trust is classic. And Don Cheadle. What's not to love. The only downside if anything to this movie is that the ending has nowhere to go. It does well for where the story boxes it into, but while it is a great feelgood movie that makes you appreciate your family, it isn't a buttoned up Hollywood happy ending. And that is actually refreshing.
