generally over rat movie which boast a strong cast and some clever dialog and of course dean martin song . problem be nicholas cage and there be no chemistry between he and cher and they be the central love story . cher almost make up for this with her reaction to cage shift accent and out of control body language . cage simply never settle into his role . he try everything he can think of and come across a an actor rather than real person and that what need in a love story . cage have have these same kind of performance problem in other role that require more of a jimmy stewart type character . cage keep take these role and perhaps because he like those kind of movie but his own energy a an actor doesn not lend itself to them and though he get good at it with repeat attempt . he should leave these type of role to less interesting actor who would fully commit to the film and spend his energy and considerable talent in more off beat role and film where he can be his crazy interesting self .
