Trivia:
To film the river scenes, crews had to remove large ice blocks from the Grand River in Elora, Ontario, as the river was frozen in mid-winter. Local residents were worried that the ice blocks would flow down river and wipe out the town's landmark "the Tooth Of Time," a large rock that sits in the middle of a waterfall. This forced crews to expend extra effort breaking up the ice blocks into small pieces. moreGoofs:
Continuity: When Peyser's car hits the tree, only one man can be clearly seen in the car, although there should be four people in it. moreSoundtrack:

Nicolas Cage plays the great straight guy while his 2 brothers played by Jon Lovitz and Dana Carvey supply the comedy value, in this hugely entertaining and funny movie. Things don't go to plan when the Firpo brothers try to rob the peaceful town of Paradise and get stuck there on Christmas Eve, only to find that they have robbed the nicest town on earth. I think Cage is great in this film, like in 'Peggy Sue Got Married', 'Family Man' and 'It Could Happen to You' he plays a lovable character that is full of emotion which you just can't imagine anyone else playing. There's also a great moment in the film where he looses his temper and he almost transforms into Castor Troy from Face/Off. If you're a fan of Nicolas Cage and not just the action stuff, you should see this movie and it's even better at Christmas time.
