Plot:
Colourful and unconventional slapstick comedy. Ex-con Hi and ex-cop Ed meet, marry and long for a child in the wilds of Arizona. When Ed discovers she's barren the God-given solution is presented: to snatch a baby from a set of quins. Thus begins a series of kidnappings, capers and rum goings-on that revolve around the helpless yet universally-loveable child. Hi's convict friends, his boss, and even the Lone Biker Of The Apocalypse become involved in the ever-twisting plot in the quest to own the baby. IMDB

Review:
An absolutely hilarious movie! And a perfect role for Nicolas Cage.
Very fun and full of laughs.

You really feel sorry for the main characters in their attempt to have a child. Even to the point of reasoning out their kidnapping. :)
A great movie, I definitely recommend it!
