Director: Andrew Bergman
Stars: Nicholas Cage, Bridget Fonda, Rosie Perez, Stanley Tucci
Nicholas cage stars as Charlie, a cop who plays the lotto with his wife. When he doesn't have money for a tip to leave for waitress Yvonne (Fonda), he promises to split half of what he wins with his current lottery ticket, or he'll come back the next day and give her a tip anyway. Having just filed for bankruptcy that day because of her deadbeat husband, whom she can't afford to divorce, she isn't in the mood to care if he comes back or not. Charlie does come back the next day, with great news. He won $4 million- so she gets a $2 million tip! But his greedy wife Muriel (Perez) isn't thrilled about it.
The ending is sweet. It's worth a watch. Except...... I wanted to reach through the screen and strangle Rosie Perez! Is that her real voice? She gives all Rosies a bad name.
