Raising Arizona
Newly Added
•
1h 34m
Directed by Joel Coen • 1987 • United States
Starring Nicolas Cage, Holly Hunter, John Goodman
The delightfully sophomoric sophomore feature from the Coen brothers stars Nicolas Cage as a dim-bulb bandit whose solution to the infertility of his ex-cop wife (Holly Hunter) is to babynap one fourth of a gaggle of famous quadruplets—sending the new “family” on the run through a relentlessly oddball, cartoon-crazy vision of the Southwest that’s part Preston Sturges, part Looney Tunes. Grounding its screwball antics in a surprisingly moving tale of family love and redemption, RAISING ARIZONA was met with polarizing reactions upon its release, but has since been recognized as one of the funniest and most inventive comedies of the 1980s.
