Plot Summary
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 two million dollar tip to a hard-luck waitress. Charlie Lang (Cage) is a neighborhood cop with a heart of gold, and a money-hungry 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.

Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: Sweetness is fine as far as it goes, but this oddball romance could have used a twist of lemon.
Fresh: Bergman...really brings home the homage to Capra with the pic's warm, bordering-on-irresistible finale.
Fresh: Simply and without pandering or insults to your intelligence, the movie delivers more of the old-style pleasures of moviegoing than any other picture in a long while.
Fresh: In the end, It Could Happen to You is a lot like the cop and the waitress: sweet, naive, not too smart, but likable.
