How cool is Nicolas Cage? Best stop reading now if your answer to that question is, “Not cool enough! I’d rather lick a dirty toilet bowl than watch a meta action-comedy about that Hollywood berk”. Conversely, if, like me, you adore Cage’s high-wire energy (and view Raising Arizona and Adaptation as two of the best American films ever made) you’ll probably be able to forgive even the laziest stretches of this quirkily mainstream effort.
Cage stars as Hollywood legend “Nick Cage”, a sentimental, profligate, borderline alcoholic wreck, and “Nicky”, Nick’s pugnacious alter ego.
