Watched "Trapped in Paradise" this New Year's EveSometimes I will check out a lesser-known movie and wonder how it flew under the radar, but for this one I completely understand why it's forgottenIt's an okay feelgood comedy, but not as good as I hopedI always like it when a bunch of different wacky storylines progress at the same time and come together at the end into something funny, but in this case it's more just sweetComfy small town atmosphere is probably the biggest point in movie's favorKinda hit-or-miss in the joke department, a lot of time I felt the jokes could really use some better timing or more exaggerationMost of the funny moments are carried by Lovitz and Carvey, Cage is pretty low-energy here except for a few scenesMadchen Amick's character is a total qt, but she has like 5 minutes of screentime and her romantic subplot with Cage is really rushedOverall it's a 6/10 and I had a good time watching it, but I was hoping for something more than what it has to offerThanks for reading my blog
>>217034768I watched it a couple christmases ago. Reminded me a bit of A Simple Plan, which reminded me a bit of Fargo.
