Raising Arizona (DVD)
A childless couple unable to adopt decide that a couple who just had quintuplets won`t mind if they steal one of the babies. Thus begins the Coen brothers` madcap romp RAISING ARIZONA. Holly Hunter stars as Ed, a cop who is devastated when she learns that she cannot get pregnant. Nicolas Cage is her husband, H.I., an ex-con who wants nothing more than to make his wife the happiest woman in the world. So if she wants a baby, she`s going to have a baby, one way or another.
Heading up the supporting cast of bizarre characters are John Goodman and William Forsythe as crazy cousins who have just busted out of prison, Sam McMurray and Frances McDormand as Ed and H.I.`s swinging friends, and Randall Tex Cobb as a motorcycle madman hired to rescue the baby. RAISING ARIZONA is the Coen brothers` most consistently funny film. Carter Burwell`s score, replete with infectious yodeling, is relentless, Barry Sonnenfeld`s cinematography is beautifully wacky, and the manic dialogue is the brothers` most quotable. The film is a treat for the ears and the eyes, a one-of-a-kind sensation from a marvelous pair of filmmakers.PG-13"
