This was a decent movie, but not nearly as good as other films from the Coen brothers. Some funny parts, and pretty entertaining, but really nothing special or even particularly worth seeing.

Raising Arizona was completely ahead of its time given the 1987 release date. In fact, the film's surreal tone most likely paved the way for The Simpsons and all of the quirky sitcoms to come along with it. I can't give this an "on" because of the objectionable content (specifically language) but it's an excellent and underrated film that fans of quirky comedies will love. You will laugh like crazy as you watch the two main characters' antics and you will feel sad as they deal with the main issue of returning that baby they love so much.
