Raising Arizona (1987)

Directors: Joel Coen, Ethan Coen
Starring: Nicolas Cage, Holly Hunter, Trey Wilson, John Goodman
Certificate: 12
Genre: Comedy, Crime
Awards: None

Raising Arizona is an off the wall comedy about a criminal played by Nicholas Cage who marries a cop (Holly Hunter). When they find out they can't have children, they decide to steal one from the owner of a large supermarket chain.  When they get him however, they do not get what they expected.

Sometimes the film is completely random and just goes completely bizarre, but that's what makes the film funny. The whole story is just completely stupid and unrealistic, but also hilarious and sweet at times. Definitely one of the weirdest comedies I've ever seen.

****Good
