Inspired by an actual incident, this unassuming, wonderfully good-natured romantic comedy tells the story of a New York City street cop named Charlie (Nicolas Cage) who makes a promise to a coffee-shop waitress named Yvonne (Bridget Fonda) that will change both their lives. One day after coffee, Charlie is embarrassed to discover he doesn't have money for a tip, so he tells Yvonne that he'll share half of his winnings if the lottery ticket he's holding comes up a winner. Sure enough, he wins the jackpot--a whopping $4 million payoff--and Charlie's wife, Muriel (Rosie Perez), goes ballistic when he tells her about his deal with Yvonne. From this point, It Could Happen to You follows Charlie's dilemma as he is forced to decide the proper course of action, and director Andrew Bergman smoothly incorporates a gentle love story into this amusing crisis of conscience. Fonda and Cage have an easygoing chemistry that adds a pleasant touch to the movie's fairy-tale plot, and the story's kindhearted sentiment is never so thick that it becomes sticky-sweet or artificial. As feel-good comedies go, this one's a class act. --Jeff Shannon

3 out of 5 stars From fact to flatline fiction.......2007-08-31

The actual story behind the highly fictionalized movie script could have made a really good movie. According to the urban legend website SNOPES, the real events involved a not-so-young waitress and a not-so-young police detective who together select the winning numbers to a $6 million jackpot. There was no hint of romance between the two. But that would be too open-ended for the cookie cutter mentalities behind this movie. They must have went into a conference room -- or a lunch room -- or a diner -- and derived this formulaic romance between two unhappily married people.

Their result was this plot bringing together a Prince Charming, a Cinderella, a the Wicked Witch of New York. But they forget to include a nice dramatic flow of events. I just didn't experience any peaks and very little emotional depth. In the end, I wasn't satisfied.

At least Nicholas Cage makes the most of the opportunity to be normal and charming rather than quirky and charming (one of his first such efforts). He gives the movie whatever depth it attains. Pretty Bridge Fonda gives her usual quiet, unexciting performance. They're responsible for most of the positive rating I give this movie.

Rosie Perez, unfortunately, overwhelms the entire proceedings with nasally witchiness. And that's not the memory I want to take away from a movie.

So, I'm looking forward to the remake based on my own soon-to-be lottery success... Oooh, Briii-dget....

Two thumbs way up!!! It goes to show what small things on a large scale can do.

5 out of 5 stars Makes you feel all fuzzy inside........2007-07-10

It Could Happen to You starring Nicolas Cage and Bridget Fonda is a cute romantic comedy that's appropriate for all-ages. No sexual content, no vulgar language, and no unnecessary violence is what you'll get with this feel-good movie. Cage and Fonda have the perfect chemistry, you truly believe they are meant to be. Rosie Perez adds comic touch as Cage's selfish and greedy ex-wife. If you believe in happily ever after's and enjoy a corny but refreshing romantic comedy then It Could Happen to You shall float your boat. Enjoy!

5 out of 5 stars Corny is Refreshing.......2007-06-15

I love this "feel good" movie. It is corny , but I like romantic comedies that are like this. Rock Hudson, Cary Grant, and Tom Hanks all made some of these. No blood , no horror, no amazing technology, just relax and enjoy a movie that makes you feel good about people and romance.
Good and basic escapism.

5 out of 5 stars Great movie.......2007-05-09

Being a former law enforcment officer I can relate to how it is most difficult to balance the job and the home life. It is often times too hard to find happiness in this line of work and all someone really needs is to be loved and to have support. This is a great title to add to anyones collection, also a good date movie.
