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

5.0 out of 5 stars Who cares what the critics say?, May 6, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Honeymoon in Vegas [VHS] (VHS Tape)

LOVED IT!!!! It is one of my favorites! Sometimes critics get too caught up in reviewing that ultimate "Oscar" movie. This is for pure entertainment! A committment phobe, his girlfriend and a psychotic mobster make a hilarious pins and needles combination. The scenes are fabulous in both Hawaii and Vegas. The soundtrack is simply the best! If you love Vegas, Elvis and all that goes with a wacky relationship, this one is for you!

5.0 out of 5 stars Hilarious if you're in the right frame of mind!, March 19, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Honeymoon in Vegas [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Many friends of mine didn't like this movie until I got them to notice its little quirky intricacies. Cage is fantastic as the melodramatic undercover cop; Parker and Caan do great supporting jobs in this special comedy. Some might feel Cage is overacting throughout the film, but that is what gives the movie its real special "character." Give it a shot.
