Trapped in Paradise (1994) is a movie that I recently watched for the first time in a long time on Tubi. The storyline follows two brothers that were recently released from jail and have plans to conduct a heist in a small Pennsylvania town. They fool their brother into helping them which puts their mother and bother's lives at risk. The brothers have no choice but to go through with it. When a snowstorm hits the night of the heist they get caught in the town and need to try and fit in until they can escape.
This movie is directed by George Gallo (Vanquish) and stars Nicolas Cage (8MM), Jon Lovitz (The Benchwarmers), Dana Carvey (Wayne's World), Paul Lazar (The Silence of the Lambs), Richard Jenkins (Step Brothers) and Mädchen Amick (Twin Peaks).
The settings, cast and atmosphere were all perfect for this plot. The small town was perfectly depicted and the chemistry between the cast members was excellent. Cage, Lovitz and Carvey were hilarious and played off each other perfectly. The klepto scenes were hilarious and the brothers taking shots at each other were fun. The storyline is well paced and have entertaining scenarios and the ending is straightforward but worthwhile.
Overall, this movie isn't a holiday classic, but it is a fun watch. I would score this a 7/10 and strongly recommend it.
