Find someone with a big strong hand. Pull hood release handle. If this does not open hood about one inch to allow opening it then on the front edge of the hood just left of center line rap hard on hood one time with your hand. This usually will cause the hood to pop up that one inch allowing you to open. If this doesn't work the first time try again. If you hit it too hard the hood may relock and you will have to pull the hood release handle again. Then, after opening the hood it's now time to lubricate the latch hinge and any metal part involved in opening the hood so you won't have this problem for a long while.
Dealer explained release cable can break. Guide tube has to be cut to replace release cable.

This is what I have had to do for my 94 cutlass supreme. Hold the hood release wire lever open from inside the car with a something - a screwdriver or some such thing. Then just pull up on the hood and voila, it releases the latch.
