This movie was one of my favorites right from the start. Its original plot and good acting with Nicolas Cage is really cool, and the comedy gives it a great boost. Its definitely a good family movie worth seeing.... Full review

Trapped in Paradise is devoid of any characteristics....you were suckered into seeing this, one of the worst movies of the year.....Trapped in Paradise is, after all, a horrible misnomer.....The storyline is a sloppy and ineffective mixture of failed slapstick, humorless jokes, stock characters caught in predictable situations, and feeble attempts at mawkish sentimentality..... ...

TRAPPED IN PARADISE is far too crass to succeed on that level.....performances are consistently poor all around.....The script does a poor job of marshalling its various sub-plots.... ... Full Review
