The greatest movie ever made..!
n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.
View MoreI didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.
View MoreStrong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
View MoreJust because well known celebrities like Sarah Jessica Parker, Nicolas Cage or James Caan are together in this movie, doesn't mean it's that good. I thought it was quite slow to be honest..Yes it's set in Las Vegas and it's meant to be over the top but, it just didn't get me into it enough. Now, I don't know why I feel this way about the movie but, it just didn't flatter me. I really thought Cages and Parkers relationship was a bit too much, even if they were playing as a couple. It might be better off if it was at the end that they were really a good couple together. I really thought they should have dressed better for their wedding, the costumes didn't suit the end scene where they were about to get married!I had to skip some of the boring scene's and I just found out after the end of the movie, that Bruno Mars was in this as Little 5 year old Elvis. I was totally shocked, he looked so cute as a 5 year old! He probably was 7 or 8 when I was born in 94! He was so adorable as a kid seriously, he's still good looking today! I was disappointed that this movie wasn't my cup of tea. Even if it's one of the Elvis inspired ones to watch since I do like Presley tributes in movies!
View MoreAndrew Bergman's 'Honeymoon in Vegas' is A Good Comedy! It has a decent script, which works in parts, & above-all, convincing performances working big time.'Honeymoon in Vegas' Synopsis: 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.'Honeymoon in Vegas' begins well & the pacing is perfect till the first-hour, but the second-hour lacks the charm to engage. Bergman's Screenplay is decent, but it ought to have been more interesting & persuasive in the latter hour. Bergman's Direction, on the other-hand, is fair. Cinematography, Editing & Art Design, are appropriate.Performance-Wise: Nicolas Cage is such a fine actor. He's effortless & flawless in here, as well. James Caan never fails to mesmerize. Sarah Jessica Parker is highly competent & matches up to her mighty co-actors proficiently. The Late/Great Peter Boyle stands out in a cameo.On the whole, 'Honeymoon in Vegas' is not terrific, but fun in parts nevertheless.
View MoreMany 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.
View MoreAndrew Bergman's Honeymoon in Vegas fits into the frame of most of his work in films. His writing & directing is pretty much related to adult comedy. Starting with being a writer on the brilliant Blazing Saddles, this entry is uneven with some comic moments & some awkward moments as well.Nicholas Cage holds this film together for most viewers. The plot is something below the comedy which holds the film together but is not something whole. The film, to its credit, follows the plot through to a logical conclusion.There are some good comic moments in the film. James Cann is the bad guy and plays his role straight as the bad guy who sets himself up with Cages newly minted wife(Sarah Jessica Parker) on their honeymoon by taking Cage on a big betin a rigged poker game.The late Pat Morita is the best of a pretty good supporting cast. Morita is more known from Arnold on Happy Days & the Karate Kid series. Here he is a cab driver in Hawaii who is supposed to keep Cage away from his wife while Tommy Corman (Cann) tries to score with her.The beginning of the film has some good comedy. The ending with the flying Elvis's is inspired too. It is the middle of the film, in spite of Morita's presence which bogs down some. This film is a pleasant diversion but not a must see unless your a Cage fan as he does dominate this film.
