Trapped in Paradise (1994)



Released December 2nd in the US.
Filmed in Canada.
The story: Bill has a big problem.
His bumbling idiot con brothers have been released from prison on early parole.
Now Bill is stuck babysitting.
They have brought with them a letter from a man in prison, who has asked them to go to Paradise, Pennsylvania, and find his daughter who he hasn't seen in years.
He also asks that they talk her into visiting him, as he is getting old and would really like to see her.
Bill doesn't want to have anything to do with it but when they have to skip town, they decide to go.
When they get to Paradise, they find out that the mans' daughter works at the local bank.
While they are in the bank, they see that the bank has just got a very large amount of money delivered.
Now of course the plan is to rob the bank on Christmas eve, but things don't exactly go as planned and they find themselves trying to get home before the guy who sent them there in the first place hurts their mother, all the while getting lots of much-needed help from the caring people of Paradise.
