Trapped in Paradise might get overlooked, but it's a '90s Christmas movie that should be a holiday tradition!
It can be hard to find good Christmas movies. While the holiday season has plenty of classic films associated with it, there are quite a few duds undeserving of your time, and they're peppered across every streaming service right now.
The biggest highlight of Trapped in Paradise is its cast. Cage mostly plays the straight man to Lovitz and Carvey, but he gets to cut loose a few times in a way we didn't see often in his '90s roles. Carvey is delightful as kleptomaniac Alvin, swiping everything from bank pens to the toy in a box of Cap'n Crunch.
That said, it's not just the setting and visuals that make Trapped in Paradise an authentic Christmas movie, but the themes. Some of the best Christmas media centers around the concepts of redemption and good will towards men; themes that have made A Christmas Carol and It's a Wonderful Life enduring classics. Bill's internal conflict in the film, particularly upon getting to know the people of Paradise, fits in well.
