It Could Happen
To You (Film)

If you’re a
romantic, this movie is for you. I saw it for the third time today on what we
call Netflix in the USA. I give in; I’m a romantic.
A young Nicolas
Cage plays a NYC police officer named Charlie. Bridget Fonda, of that famous
family, plays Yvonne a waitress.
Charlie and his
police partner are in a hurry, after ordering coffee in a small diner in
Queens, where Yvonne is his waitress. He can pay the two dollars owed for the
drinks, but doesn’t have tip money.
He makes a deal
with her. He will come back tomorrow double the tip or give her half of his
lottery winnings. She smiles and says that it was okay, because I most likely will
not see you again.
The obvious
happens, maybe for me I saw the movie three times, and Charlie and his wife win
the lotto for four million dollars. This is where the movie really begins.
Greed and
generosity collides; love and hatred seep in; and legalities bring about human
conflicts. Will the righteous overcome? Not all the time.
Charlie and
Yvonne are pushed into love and the legal limits by Charlie’s greedy wife
Muriel, who wins her case in court, getting the four million lotto money for
herself. But greed pays its price.
You’ll have to
get the movie to learn what happens. Make certain you have Kleenex available.
