Nicolas Cage, Bridget Fonda and Rosie Perez star in this irrepressible romantic comedy inspired by the true story of a humble cop who leaves a two million dollar tip to a hard-luck waitress. Charlie Lang (Cage) is a neighborhood cop with a heart of gold, and a money-hungry wife Muriel (Perez) who's always looking for a way to cash in. When she asks Charlie to buy a lottery ticket, he agrees, then impulsively promises half the winnings to a waitress, Yvonne (Fonda). When their numbers hit, the real fun begins, as Muriel learns to live large while Charlie and Yvonne learn to love again. A captivating comedy laced with whirlwind romance.

Christie Cronan

But despite some uneven supporting character portrayals, It Could Happen to You delivers on pacing, laughs, and feel-good moments.

The whole film is charmingly, if not realistically, acted by Mr. Cage, who, in loving memory of Mr. Capra, succeeds in looking exactly like Mr. Stewart. Only the high, cracked voice is lacking.

For the dating crowd who embraced Sleepless in Seattle last year, this is their flick for this summer. Even if you don't have a date, you should let it happen to you.

...generally comes off as an absolutely charming romantic comedy that benefits substantially from the unequivocal chemistry between its stars.

TV Guide

Writer Jane Anderson is a gifted scenarist who seems constrained by a Hollywood formula which places the happy romantic ending on the horizon like a beacon to stare at for nearly two hours.
