There’s not too much I can say about Trapped in Paradise. It’s an awkward film that wants to be genuine. It was around the time that Nicholas Cage veered into more comedic-type roles (Raising Arizona), and he really is the star of this film.
The plot is simple – three brothers rob a bank at a small town, Paradise, and end up getting stuck in said town after a snow storm. Though the plot is simple, the dynamic of the characters is more complex, and surprisingly in-depth for such a film.
Though, no one is ever going to write an analytical essay on Trapped in Paradise, it was nice to see John Lovitz and Dana Carvey try something different. And, surprising they don’t fail as hard as they could have.
4/10
