After losing $65,000 to professional gambler and con man Tommy Korman (James Caan), penniless private investigator Jack Singer (Nicolas Cage) agrees to let Korman borrow his beautiful fiancée, Betsy (Sarah Jessica Parker), for a Hawaiian getaway to pay off his debts. But when Betsy -- who looks just like Korman's late wife -- begins to fall for her charismatic captor, the commitment-phobic Singer must race against the clock to track them down and win her back.

Critics Consensus

Honeymoon in Vegas is a light screwball comedy that has just about what you expect (and nothing you don't).

Variety

Writer-director Andrew Bergman has a rare talent for intelligently conceived farce, and he has plenty of fun with the premise.

Roger Ebert

Chicago Sun-Times

The plot is dumb enough to be a sitcom, but Bergman isn't dumb enough to make it one; he has a way of finding comedy in the urgency of driven characters.

Rated: 3.5/4

Has an old fashioned screwball comedy quality to it

Southern Voice (Atlanta)

This is one of those movies that gives itself away in the trailer; the additional hour and a half is only padding.

Tilt Magazine

Combined several key aspects of Nicolas Cage mythology: Romantic comedy, crashing, in various ways, into Las Vegas, and Elvis inspiration and homage (30th anniversary)

Rated: 4/5

The story of one bride and two grooms. Jack Singer (Nicolas Cage) is a commitment phobic detective madly in love with his girlfriend Betsy Nolan (Sarah Jessica Parker), but due to a promise made to his mother on her deathbed he is unable to truly make her happy. One night Jack throws caution to the wind and decides to marry her in Las Vegas, but when wealthy mobster Tommy Korman (James Can) notices that Betsy bears a striking resemblance to his late wife Donna he hatches a scheme. Using a poker game to con Jack and make him owe $65,000. Tommy however will forgive the debt if Jack lets him spend time with Betsy. But, he must act fast before Tommy snatches her away for good. Loaded with an Elvis heavy soundtrack, this is a pretty funny screwball comedy that has everything you'd expect and unexpect.

The plot is centered on a good enough idea that should work as an offbeat romantic comedy, but it just never becomes as fun or as funny as the film promises.

A comedy classic that never got its due. Nick Cage and Jimmy Caan are their best selves in this funny, tightly written and fast moving '92 time capsule. Outstanding Elvis score and a constant parade of character actors makes this a helluva fun time.

It has been years since I've seen Honeymoon in Vegas, and while it wasn't as hilarious as I remembered it to be, it's still a charming romantic comedy. The unique combination of Nicholas Cage, Sarah Jessica Parker, James Caan, and a bunch of Elvis impersonators seems like a strange one, but it actually works. Go ahead and roll the dice on this ridiculous movie, you may actually enjoy it.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

Easy going and fun. Very slick team of professionals created the whole project - yet, the result is a feel good flick, worth watching.
