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.
Love this film.

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!
