Classic Coen Brother film!! Has fantastic amounts of hilarious scenes, but also has its moments that make me a little uneasy!! Great performance from Cage...after seeing this I can't help but think what happened to him. "Recidivism"
this masterpiece has given us the most incredible diaper heist chase scene to ever grace the big screen. it is an important piece of cinematic history. filmmakers everywhere should be required to study this work of art as the holy grail of kidnap comedy.
although this flick got a little uncomfortable at times and is not one of the coen's better films, it is clever and different and absolutely hilarious at parts. a very different comedy with a solid performance by cage.
Hilarious. (If memory serves, and on first viewing; last time I re-watched it it wasn't re-watching well.)
I had high hopes for this, and there was a great prologue with some fun humor and some cool camera work, but it was just to silly and slapsticky. Not my thing.
A really clever and unusual comedy... the kind of film I've come to expect from the Coens.
Son, you got a panty on your head.
This movie is fantastic. everyone on earth should watch it.
Was this movie supposed to be comedy?it wasn't to me!
with all respects to Coen Bro,but plzzzzzzzzzz don't do this kinda stuff again!

Raising Arizona, the Coens' follow-up to their excellent debut Blood Simple, is an explosively clever and riotously funny exploration of fertility, homemaking, and the working class in the prisons and trailer parks of the desert southwest. H.I. McDunnough (Nicolas Cage) meets loc...( read more)
"H.I., I'm Barren!" "Turn to tha Right!" lol I just adore this movie!
A silly plot engulfed by the brilliancy of the Coens. Cage and Goodman deliver fine performances.
Why this one is called "Arizona Junior" in Sweden instead of the original title beats me. However it's one of the few movies where I can stand the sight of Nicholas Cage.
Trama strampalata ma stile unico dei Cohen. Si vede che già nell'87 avevano le idee ben chiare.
very weird senes and story.an offiicer and a criminal gets married then take a baby of a rich family?what a crazy world!
If not for Nicholas Cage, this would have been one of the worst movies ever.
Back before i realized Cage's eccentricities were insane arrogance instead of just talent. "I found myself driving past convenience stores... that weren't on the way home."
kitchy, corny, knee-slappin', aw-chucks americana (hardly better'n "hee haw") is a little grating to the sensibilities...okay, it's downright condescending, bitter to the extreme and tiresome at length, but there is a ersatz DNA strand of hope played in yer basic fucked-up, every...( read more)
"H.I." (Nicholas Cage), a convict who goes by the nickname "Hi", and his police officer wife (Holly Hunter), who he met while being booked on a robbery charge and courted during even more bookings on robbery charges, have been trying to have a baby. They soon learn that she can't...( read more)
My favorite comedy of all time. Note perfect from beginning to end. Saw it in a run down little theater in Ely Minnesota - all by myself. Fantastic
This is the kind of movie you watch on comedy central when you stay home from work.
well, it was funny and quirky, and i love nicolas cage. it's one of those movies you'll love or you just won't get. guess which it was for me!
Le deuxième film des frères Coen, qui explorent cette fois l'univers de la comédie. L'histoire est assez simple, aurait pu même tourner au banal, mais les cinéastes ont su guider l'intrigue juste comme il le fallait, en alliant l'humour parodique au suspense un peu plus classique...( read more)
A fun movie that kept me interested the entire time. That Nathan Jr. was one cute baby. :)
I liked the simplistic feel of the movie. It was edgy without being dramatic which complimented the irony of the film very well. I would have personally prefered John Goodman as Hi and Cage as Gale, but that's just me. Casting Goodman was brilliant as every film I see with him in...( read more)
I loved this. It has a crazy, loose, beautiful rhythm to it that doesn't let up until right towards the end when it descends slightly into schmaltz. Nic Cage is a brilliant whirlwind and Holly Hunter is gorgeous. Pity about the music.
My 2nd fav Coen Bro flick. Both NC & HH should go back to comedy & give up the dramas. JG is hilarious as always.
off beat comedy..zany and goofy..but alot of fun...Cage and Hunter really shine...
"I tried to stand up and fly straight, but it wasn't easy with that sumbitch Reagan in the White House. I dunno. They say he's a decent man, so maybe his advisors are confused."...( read more)
Raising Arizona is now considered a classic gem from currently-renowned filmmaking
