The way Nic Cage delivered the line "I'll be takin' these Huggies and whatever cash you got".....perfection.

When H.I. pauses to reflect on the fact that Leonard Smalls has the same tattoo as him (a roadrunner) it confirms that Smalls may be cut from the same cloth as him. David Lynch exorcised his fears of settling down and fathering a child with a mutant baby and a lady in a…

p e r s i a 🍒May 17, 2023The final scene in the babies’ bedroom sums it all up. The forgiveness, the understanding, the moments of reflection. Aren’t we all goofy lil funhouse mirrors for each other to stare into. Squint your eyes and you’ll always see yourself in someone else.

he brilliant minds of the Coen brothers and the genius that is Nicholas Cage was a pairing that was a thing of beauty. The wonderful cast especially the main couple( Cage, Hunter) match an equally brilliant script that in it’s own strange way has plenty of heart.
Morgan lovedRaising Arizonathis film is so chaotic but somehow it also has so many human moments, it was so sweet to me how everyone wanted to protect the baby :) and h.i. and ed were such a cute couple
Orlando Ramone likedRaising ArizonaAnother great Coen Brothers classic. One of Nick Cage’s earliest staring roles. This movie is the best example of the Coen’s quirky sense of humor and excellent camera movements.
- Charles Burns lovedRaising Arizona
This is already one of my new favorite movies (new to me). What I love most is how every single character falls in love with the baby. Even the two criminals — who at first only kidnap him for the reward money — can’t help themselves. After like ten minutes with him, they’re already saying, “We’re…
nevan lovedRaising Arizonaone of the most unhinged coen films with one of nicolas cage’s greatest performances. always funny with an excellent first half serving excellent action and cinematography, oftentimes epic with an incredible soundtrack and theme; a classic for a reason
Ben Lecker likedRaising ArizonaThis movie was pretty funny, the story was original and done well, and Nick Cage was absolutely amazing, maybe my favorite role of his, my issue was that it felt like a lot was squeezed in, but overall I really enjoyed this movie, a solid 7.5/10

I haven’t watched this since I was a kid and I laughed pretty hard as an adult! Dang good movie and I think it’s probably one of the first dumb humor movies I’ve ever watched. Soooooo goood
Erika Leigh Kuhl is "meh" onRaising ArizonaUnderwhelming honestly just not quite there to make me want to watch it again. Pacing felt very off and performance were over the top and not in a fun campy way but more of a cringey. Meh
Jacob Hall lovedRaising ArizonaHilarious Coen brothers comedy. Cage, Hunter, Goodman, and Forsythe are all great in this. Even McDormand's one scene stood out. The most consistent writer/director team of all time

Metacritic
The big trouble with Raising Arizona is that the Coens overdrew their wild and crazy yarn, and overdo almost every gag and gimmick. [20 Mar 1987]

San Francisco Chronicle
Like Blood Simple, it's full of technical expertise but has no life of its own... The direction is without decisive style. [11 Mar 1987, p.C24]
