A cop (Cage) promises to spit the winnings of a just-purchased lottery ticket with a waitress (Fonda) because he doesn't have enough money to leave her a tip. However, what they didn't expect is that the ticket would actually win! Much to the dismay of his wife, the cop actually spits the money with the waitress causing some interesting consequences. The film starts off very well but loses its appeal as it progresses. It's generally worth watching but especially to Nicholas Cage and Bridget Fonda fans.
