I agree with you. I, too, wanted to like Trapped in Paradise. The writer-director wrote Midnight Run, which is such a small gem. I liked the cast: Cage, Lovitz, Carvey, and the enchanting Madchen Amick. And it was filmed in one of the loveliest places around: Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario (substituting for Paradise, Pennsylvania, a real place), a simply beautiful little town on Lake Erie. But...the truth is, everything falls flat. I think that I only laughed once, right at the beginning when Lovitz is trying to snow the parole board by explaining that he is going to live his life on parole like the mighty pterodactyl, soaring high above his problems, "Ack. Ack. Ack." That was genuinely hilarious, but the rest of the film is not. Dana Carvey is particularly annoying as the real idiot brother.
