Funny movie about an ex-con (Nicolas Cage) who specializes in robbing convenience stores. Together with his prison guard wife (Holly Hunter) they kidnap a baby from a local used car salesman (who just had quintuplets) to be their son. They want to live a normal suburban (well, it's a trailer park) life. But his buddies from prison (John Goodman and William Forsythe) have other ideas. And Cage can't stop robbing convenience stores, even when all he needs are some pampers for junior. Lots of funny highjinks, with a few weird moments that leave you scratching your head. And a very touching ending.
