Director: Andrew Bergman
Cast: Nicolas Cage, Bridget Fonda, Rosie Perez, Wendell Pierce
An amusing and sympathetic comedy about an honest policeman who doesn't have money for a tip so he promises the waitress half of his lottery winnings. And then he wins the jackpot. The film doesn't offer surprises but it entertains while it's on. Rosie Perez is bubbly as the officer's wife, even if her character is a bit one-note. Inspired by true events.
