Beautiful Joe (2000)

In the heart of the Bronx, we meet Joe (Billy Connolly), a quintessential Irishman with a heart of gold, who's hit with a double whammy of despair: a brain tumor diagnosis and an unexpected divorce request from his wife who craves more excitement in life. With his world turned upside down, Joe decides to embrace the uncertainty, embarking on an adrenaline-fueled journey before he faces a precarious surgery. His path intertwines with Hush (Sharon Stone), a charismatic Southern belle with a troubled life, burdened by enormous debts to a menacing bookie and facing a future with limited opportunities. Despite her duplicitous act of stealing his wallet, Joe, moved by her circumstances, steps in to offer a helping hand, forming an unexpected bond with her and her children. Their lives take a wild turn as they dart off to Las Vegas, chased not only by the relentless bookie and a gang of Bronx miscreants, but also by the shadow of Joe's disease. As Hush wrestles with her gambling addiction, the kids yearn for a sense of normalcy. Amidst this chaos, will they find a way to create their own version of a happy ending? The thrilling journey of Beautiful Joe promises suspense, emotional turmoils, and a testament to humanity's enduring spirit.
