Amazon.co.uk Review:
Blood Simple made it clear that the cinematically precocious Coen brothers (writer-director Joel and writer-producer Ethan) were gifted filmmakers to watch out for. But it was the outrageously farcical Raising Arizona that announced the Coens' darkly comedic audacity to the world. It wasn't widely seen when released in 1987, but its modest audience was vocally supportive, and this hyperactive comedy has since developed a large and loyal following. It's the story of "Ed" (for Edwina, played by Holly Hunter), a policewoman who falls in love with "Hi" (for H.I. McDonnough, played by Nicolas Cage) while she's taking his mug shots. She's infertile and he's a habitual robber of convenience stores, and their folksy marital bliss depends on settling down with a rug rat. Unable to conceive, they kidnap one of the newsworthy quintuplets born to an unpainted-furniture huckster named Nathan Arizona (Trey Wilson), who quickly hires a Harley-riding mercenary (Randall "Tex" Cobb) to track the baby's whereabouts. What follows is a full-throttle comedy that defies description, fuelled by the Coens' lyrical, redneck dialogue, the manic camerawork of future director Barry Sonnenfeld and some of the most inventively comedic chase scenes ever filmed. Some will dismiss the comedy for being recklessly over-the-top; others will love it for its clever mix of slapstick action, surreal fantasy and homespun family values. One thing's for sure--this is a Coen movie from start to finish, and that makes it undeniably unique. --Jeff Shannon

- ..."NO ....JUST CIRCULAR..."
This was a firm favourite of mine as a teenager, due mainly to the plethora of brilliantly quotable lines (teenagers,eh?) But it is still just as original, funny, strange and clever as it ever was, with a great cast of actors, the role of a lifetime for Nicolas Cage, which i'm sure helped him break out and be considered a very versatile actor, and of course the ever fantastic Holly Hunter, plus some wonderful supporting players. The Cohen brothers may of gone on and honed their craft as film makers,but ... Read More

- A Miss for the Coen Brothers
Raisin' Arizona is a "very" bizarre film, but it looks rather dated nowadays, let's be honest with that.
Considered new talents, this was their second production, after Blood Simple, trying to focus the genre of comedy, but willing to make their mark with their geniune stamp on it, a sort of been there, done that.
Raisin' Arizona doesn't have much of a plot, it pretty inventes itself on the way, a retarded Southerner who loves his beer and his television, is also a bit of a thief, ... Read More

- Seriously funny and very bizarre
A smooth talking recidivist convenience store robber, falls for the police photographer who takes his mug-shot whenever he gets incarcerated. They marry, she gives up police work, he tries to go straight, they plan a family, she finds she can't have children, she sends him out to steal a baby from a couple whose fertility treatment resulted in a spectacular multiple-birth - quintuplets. They get a visit from a couple of his prison chums who tunnelled out, and who formulate their own plans for the baby. Then ... Read More
Rating: - A CLASSIC COEN DARK COMEDY
I first saw this in London on a date with a weird Goth chick who had a thing for the Coen brothers, never ever had seen a Coen film before I was a little doubt full.
WOW was I shocked, I laughed all the way through it and became a long time Coen fan.
Out of all my collection this is still my Fav and still makes me laugh and lasted longer than my date with the Goth chick.
Buy it today and you will be making not only a wise but funny choice.
Rating: - A good example of a Coen Bros film
This is a most entertaining film about a childless couple, a recidivist petty criminal, 'Hi', perfectly cast in Nicholas Cage and his desperate wife 'Ed' well characterised by diminutive Holly Hunter, living in a trailor in the desert somewhere in Arizona. They decide to kidnap a baby from the family of Nathan Arizona, a white wood furniture manufacturer who has quins and 'therefore wouldn't miss one of them!' There are numerous 'Coenesque' characters throughout, including ... Read More
