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.

Imagine paying to own this movie (oh wait, I did) Rubbing alcohol will not be able to wash my eyes clean after watching this movie. Viseral reactions were felt and heeby jeebies were experienced. I literally deleted this movie from my amazon prime account because I was so horrified that I had paid money to watch it and would have to be reminded of it every time I logged in. I wish I could turn back time and tell myself to not watch this movie. If I could give it -5 stars I would.

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.

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

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.

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