Nicolas Cage, Bridget Fonda and Rosie Perez star in this irrepressible romantic comedy inspired by the true story of a humble cop who leaves a $2 million tip to a hard-luck waitress.
Charlie Lang (Cage) is a neighborhood cop with a heart of gold - and a money-hungy wife Muriel (Perez) who's always looking for a way to cash in. When she asks Charlie to buy a Lottery ticket, he agrees, then impulsively promises half the winnings to a waitress, Yvonne (Fonda). When their numbers hit, the real fun begins, as Muriel learns to live large while Charlie and Yvonne learn to love again. A captivating comedy laced with whirlwind romance, "'It Could Happen To You' should happen to everyone!" -Joel Siegel, Good Morning America
