Trapped in Paradise Reviews

I know, it is rather common nowadays to trash Nicolas Cage but I still believe he is actually a very good actor and therefore, I keep watching his movies whenever I get the opportunity but I have to admit it, it has become a rather ungrateful task lately. The main issue with him is that he makes about 4 very average movies and then a good one, then 4 very average movies and then a good one,.... Unfortunately, this flick doesn't belong to his good movies, that’s for sure. Indeed, the story was just lame and the jokes were not funny whatsoever. When you read interviews with Nicolas Cage, he makes a good case that all his choices, even the weirdest ones, are made conciously in order to remain as versatile as possible. In this case, this time, he wanted to show up in a broad and unsubtle comedy but, on the other hand, this whole theory seems to be a good excuse to cover up his numerous mistakes. Anyway, to conclude, even though I have seen much worse (even from Nicolas Cage), it is still pretty damned average and it is not really worth a look, except maybe if you are a die-hard fan of Nicolas Cage’s work.
