Dreadfully dull romantic comedy about a Big Apple beat cop (Nicholas Cage) who tips a waitress (Bridget Fonda) two million dollars (from a lottery ticket that he split with her). The atmosphere (New York as New York) is great and Fonda is uniformly appealing, but Cage's role is so ill-defined that he's neither a decent foil to Fonda nor a solid center to the story. Costar Rosey Perez is annoying as Cage's annoying wife. Director Andrew Bergman once airlifted a planeload of flying Elvises (Elvii?) in HONEYMOON AND VEGAS. And wrote THE IN-LAWS. Rent those instead. Grade: C-
