Description:
James Caan (The Godfather), Nicolas Cage (Face/Off) and Sarah Jessica Parker ('Sex inthe City') are three sides of a deliriously funny triangle in this 'refreshing blast of comic lunacy' (WCBS-TV) that gambles with an offbeat premise and hits the jackpot with big laughs! Jack Singer (Cage) is terrified of commitment but even more terrified of losing his beautiful schoolteacher fiancÃ(c)e Betsy (Parker). So as an act of faith, he takes the plunge and agrees to tie the knot in a quickie Vegas ceremony. But when he makes a bad $60,000 bet with mobster Tommy Korman (Caan), the marriage 'knot'and all of Jack's dreamsstarts unraveling fast. The only way that Korman willforgive the debt, he says, is if Jack will loan him Betsy for the rest of the weekend! It's yet another sucker bet for Jack thoughbecause Korman plans to win Betsy away for good!
Amazon.com:
Writer-director Andrew Bergman is capable of funny, funny stuff, but this movie runs out of jokes long before it runs out of comic ideas. The result is a series of comedy concepts that never get past the one-liner stage and are distinctly unsatisfying. Still, there is plenty to be amused by in this story of a reluctant bridegroom (Nicolas Cage) who finally agrees to marriage, only to lose his fiancée (Sarah Jessica Parker) in a crooked poker game to a professional gambler (James Caan). The rest of the movie deals with his frantic attempt to get his fiancée back, while coping with a Vegas in the throes of an Elvis-impersonator convention. That's the funniest thing about the whole movie (most notably the team of parachuting Elvises at the end), but even that is drawn out in ways that are more clever than laughter inducing. --Marshall Fine

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Pretty funny when it came out, not so much now
A young Nicolas Cage and an even younger Sarah Jessica Parker play for laughs in this romantic caper that seemed pretty funny about 18 years ago when it debuted. Time has eroded some of the yucks, though, but it's still worth a watch as a borrow or rental. Lightweight, and James Caan continues his reptilian schtick that he's played ever since Sonny Corleone.
Rating: - Okay
this movie didnt have a real cover, it was in a cardboard insert, but what can you expect for it being so cheap! lol... overall the movie was great!
Rating:  - Sadly, not really all that funny...
`Honeymoon in Vegas' is pretty much the comedic equivalent to `An Indecent Proposal', which is sad because `An Indecent Proposal' is a much better drama than `Honeymoon in Vegas' is a comedy. I'm really not a fan of Nicholas Cage, not in the least. I enjoyed him twice that I can recall (in `Adaptation' and `Matchstick Men') but aside from those two fluke performances I'm always left cold by his horrid line reading. In fact I'm willing to say that his spastic performance in this comedy could very well be his worst ever. He happens to be one of those actor's who thinks if he screams his lines they'll grab a hint of hilarity, but they don't and he comes off ridiculous, especially when paired next to Sarah Jessica Parker and James Caan who work with what little they're given with much greater success than Cage.
In the film Cage plays Jack Singer, a man afraid to commit. He travels to Vegas with his girlfriend Betsy, played by Parker, to finally tie the knot but before he can he finds himself in a high stakes poker game with a mobster named Tommy Korman. Tommy, who has his eye on Betsy, ends up taking Jack for $65,000, money that Jack doesn't have, but in turn offers him a resolution. If Jack will lend Tommy his fiancé for the weekend then his debt will be erased. Betsy reluctantly agrees only to find out that her weekend will not be spent in Vegas but in Hawaii with Tommy and his family (son and daughter-in-law and his new granddaughter). It's in this tropical paradise that Tommy ... Read More
Rating: - "Do You Find Chief Orman Attractive?"
I thought this movie was really funny and Peter Boyle's scene is side hurting funny. Sarah Jessica's body is smokin' in this film too!
Rating:  - A Wedding With Laughs
If you're looking for a film with a honeymoon gone wacky, this is it.
This 1992 movie stars Nicolas Cage as a private investigator
who does'nt want to commit, but he does'nt want to lose his
fiancee (Sarah Jessica Parker, of "Sex and the City" fame),
so he decides to tie the knot in a fast Las Vegas wedding,
full of girls and Elvis imitations! But unfornatuely, he
loses his girl to James Caan! It's fun, adventurous and
dares to be funny. The script was written by director
Andrew Bergman (Striptease (1996), It Could Happen To You(1994))
who really knows how to direct something more than a hounddog!
You film buffs should know:
That's Parker playing Caan's late wife in a flashback scene.
That's executive producer Neil Machlis being called through
the speaker in one of the scenes.
Avaiable on both VHS and DVD.
