Synopsis
Kindness can be the most disarming force of all, even against a trio of would-be criminals. George Gallo's Christmas comedy "Trapped in Paradise" stars Nicolas Cage, Jon Lovitz and Dana Carvey as the Firpo brothers. Bill (Cage), the decent one, is a New York restaurant manager trying to go straight and keep his troublemaking brothers in line: Dave (Lovitz), a compulsive liar, and Alvin (Carvey), a hopeless kleptomaniac, both fresh out of prison. On Christmas Eve, the two talk Bill into robbing the bank in the sleepy town of Paradise, Pennsylvania. Pulling off the heist turns out to be easy. Getting out of town is another story, as a blizzard strikes, bumbling crooks give chase and the brothers find their big-city cunning useless against the trusting townspeople, who keep smothering them with kindness at every turn. MΓ€dchen Amick co-stars as a sweet bank teller, and Richard Jenkins appears as a bank manager.
