In a plot inspired by a real-life news story, a New York City police officer (Cage) who is short on cash and unable to tip his waitress (Fonda), half-jokingly offers to share his winnings if he happens to win the lottery. He wins $4 million (in 21 annual payments) in the lottery the next day and keeps his promise, despite the protests of his wife. He and Yvonne become stars almost immediately.

I knew it was based on a true story, but I had no idea that the fighting/divorce was fictional.
I (maybe oddly) like this movie even more now.

It's so stupid but I love it. What I enjoy most about it is that no one is acting. I swear they just told the actors to be themselves especially Rosie Perez.

This was back in the day when Nicolas Cage was genuinely sexually attractive.

When I saw this, I thought that they should have had the women switch roles. It would have worked a lot better. Meh. Check out "It Should Happen to You" with Judy Holliday. A much better film by far. Long live Gladys Glover!
