‘It Could Happen to You’

Share

This 1994 romantic comedy is about the consequences of doing the right thing. It’s slight but sweet. Charlie Lang (Nicolas Cage) is a New York cop with an overdose of decency. When Charlie finds himself in a diner short of a tip, he makes a pie-in-the-sky promise to his waitress (Bridget Fonda) to give her half of any possible winnings on his just-purchased lottery ticket. When the ticket pays $4 million, Charlie, moving against his aghast, social-climbing wife (Rosie Perez), does the right thing (SHOW Tuesday at 9:15 a.m. and 8 p.m.).
