It's a Coen Brothers weekend, apparently.
A childless couple decide to steal a baby from a family with quintuplets, setting off a state-wide manhunt and a number of hare-brained ransom schemes.
Everyone involved in this is so young. Nicolas Cage is awkward and gangly! Holly Hunter has baby cheeks! John Goodman's face is so smooth with no laugh-lines!
Plot-wise, it's fine. I didn't find it funny but I kind of didn't expect to, given my recent experiences. There's a lot of screaming. It's considered a beloved comedy classic and if it is for you, that's great. It did not change my mind about the Coens. It's currently streaming on Hulu/Disney+.
