tiailds Wasn't expecting much except a silly movie. Did it's job rather well."Was it interesting?" Not a thinking movie, even for a comedy. The characters reactions and motivations were believable.1.5 out of 3 "Was it memorable?" Not really. Nothing wowed me. The acting was adequate, the settings were above average. It was more charming than funny though.1 out of 3 "Was it entertaining?" Didn't seem to long. The shenanigans weren't too outrageous. The classic music were good choices, but the rest of the soundtrack was annoying.1.5 out of 3 Starting with 1 (because), 1+1.5+1+1.5=5 A thoroughly average comedy. Not much to say, don't have much of an opinion on.

mike48128 Neither Nicolas Cage or James Caan are comedians, and it shows. Nicolas does his best, but he sort of comes off as the guy who buys the Las Vegas Timeshare. A real sucker! Caan does his best comic gangster and comes off as a kind of Jekyll and Hyde persona both charming and dangerous. Nice supporting cast of Sarah Jessica-Parker and others including Pat Morita, who has a very small part. Look for "Bruno Mars" as Bruno Hernandez, a pint-sized "Elvis", and he's good! The plot: The poker game is rigged so Caan can steal Nick's girl. Nick now owes $65,000 which he cannot pay. Caan will cancel this huge debt for a weekend with Sarah, who looks incredible. Enjoyable mostly for the old scenery of the Vegas Strip. quite different in 1992. Bally's inside looks exactly the same. (Many shameless plugs for the casino, just like in "Vegas Vacation".) Harrah's had their old "Showboat" theme in 1992. Also note "The Dunes" Casino and other old "Strip" properties. Caan takes Sarah to Hawaii to his beautiful estate there, of course. (Filmed on location.) The plot is dragged-down by Caan's constant references to his first wife (Sarah is a "dead ringer") who died of skin cancer at age 46, from obsessive sunbathing. The Flying Elvis are amazing and totally save the film, as Nick sky dives in "to save the day". The ending is "pure Elvis" with a "Little Chapel" Elvis wedding!

Lee Eisenberg Many a movie has been set in Las Vegas, and Andrew Bergman's "Honeymoon in Vegas" is probably the average kind. I didn't consider it anything special, but also nothing bad. Just an innocuously silly comedy about a man (Nicolas Cage) and his lover (Sarah Jessica Parker) who honeymoon in the noted gambling Mecca, only to have a gangster (James Caan) try to ruin their relationship. Without a doubt the highlight was the skydiving scene. The movie is certainly fun to watch, and I figure that in that great concert hall in the sky, Elvis Presley must smile every time that someone watches it.Also starring Pat Morita, Peter Boyle, Anne Bancroft, Seymour Cassel and Tony Shalhoub.

FlashCallahan On her deathbed, a mother makes her son promise never to get married, which scars him with psychological blocks to a commitment with his girlfriend.They finally decide to tie the knot in Vegas, but a wealthy gambler arranges for the man to lose $65K in a poker game and offers to clear the debt for a weekend with his fiancée.Suddenly the man is insanely jealous, and pursues his fiancée and her rich companion, but finds pitfalls in his path as the gambler tries to delay his interference...it's hard to believe that a year after this movie came out. Adrian Lyne gave the story a little spin, made it into a drama and had a major hit with Indecent proposal. This features a maniacal Cage, who isn't dissimilar to Chandler in friends with his body language, and gives the film a much needed injection of life into the sometimes lethargic movie.It's nowhere near as funny as when i saw the movie nearly seventeen years ago, but it still has it's moments. Caan can do this role walking in his sleep, and i feel that he only really did this for the money. Parker does best with the little material she is given, and while the film isn't really laugh out loud funny, it still has the odd moments, such a the character who is convinced his wife is having an affair with Mike Tyson.it's not really going to be remembered in Cages resume, apart from the fact it was one of his three 'sunshine movies', and the ending is predictable.But it's still a lot of fun to watch Cage and his amazing eyebrows
