Viewing Notes

Nic Cage fest continues with a movie that was always on cable / movie channels in the mid-90s but I never watched it. Adore the chemistry between Fonda and Cage. Tucci looks great. Unbelievable that Cage’s character would ever end up with Perez’s character. Bonus: Richard Jenkins and Seymour Cassel.

Always thought this was a fantasy flick. Nice to see an old fashioned romance. Thought for sure Isaac Hayes was an angel.
