Raising Arizona is one of those iconic movies that you just somehow go through life having missed. Over the years my respect for the Coen Brothers has grown immensely.
So it pains me to say that Raising Arizona is complete ****. Getting to see Holly Hunter's face barely provides any redemption. I don't think the corner of my mouth so much as twitched once in amusement. Nicolas Cage, as he pretty much was in every early performance, was awful. The story was awful.
Suck, suck, suck, fail.
