Alicia I love this movie so much
Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic
Crwthod A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.
FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
Alex Howland Released five years after the Coen brothers' brilliant 'Raising Arizona' I had high hopes for this offering from a very talented young Cage and the screenwriter (and director in this feature) who was essentially responsible for the phenomenon that was Blazing Saddles. Unfortunately though, Andrew Bergman seems to have been succumbing to the inevitable gravity of a rather slippery slope ever since that success (as the role of producer on the horrendous Striptease will attest) and this film certainly falls short of what it might have promised on paper.Although the script is rather laboured and clunky there are some genuine moments of comedy, a few one-liners that you will be repeating to your friends for a couple of weeks after seeing the movie and a pretty original climax involving a troupe of sky diving Elvis impersonators and a rather miffed James Caan.Although I would agree with a lot of the other reviews that the soundtrack is excellent and even Sarah Jessica Parker puts in a good performance if you're going to see a Sin City based movie starring Nicholas Cage make it 'Leaving…' and not 'Honeymoon in'. A solid five out of ten, not unwatchable, but far short of a classic.
Boba_Fett1138 This is a fun enough little movie to watch but for a comedy it certainly still isn't quite funny enough.It's a bit of a lacking movie but nevertheless it's still one that flows well with its story and has some good characters in it as well. It just seems as if they forgot to put some more great jokes and comedy in the movie, which seems amazing from the guy who also thought up the story for "Blazing Saddles". But then again, he also did "Striptease" and the remake of "The In-Laws". I'm talking about Andrew Bergman here, who wrote and directed this movie and just doesn't seem to quite have the right skills and qualities for the genre. I mean, he can definitely write and tell a good story and he can handle some decent characters but he just can't quite seem to get a grip on the right tone and style for a comedy. The movie does have some fun and crazy moments in it but even when watching these moments you'll have the idea and feeling that if they had pushed it a bit further all this movie could had truly been hilarious. In this particular case it probably wouldn't had harmed the movie if they went a bit over-the-top with it all.Nevertheless, it still really is a perfectly watchable movie that doesn't really ever bore and you'll simply have a good time watching it. It is still a movie with more hits than misses in it. Those hits just aren't very hard however.It's of course also really a movie that gets made interesting by its cast. When you have a cast with Nicolas Cage, Sarah Jessica Parker, James Caan and a strong supporting cast as well, you are of course quite blessed as a film-maker. Even though the genre isn't their strongest point (with the exception of Sarah Jessica Parker perhaps), they still make the movie a good watch with their performances.A good enough movie to watch, though just nothing too impressive or memorable.6/10http://bobafett1138.blogspot.com/
cheersfan213 This movie started out hysterical especially the interaction between Nicolas Cage and Sarah Jessica Parker. Suddenly, however, as James Caan's character was introduced, that chemistry faded away for good and would never again be seen in the movie. Bergman's biggest mistake was that he shouldn't have made Parker's character so fickle and he should've made Caan's more nefarious--- not out for love. It becomes another stupid love triangle tale that's been rehashed a thousand times instead of being something fresh and exciting like it had potential to be at the beginning of the movie. Still, there are many good gags throughout most notably the different types of Elvises and some funny PA announcements that you'll only catch with the subtitles on. The soundtrack is amazing and the closing fifteen minutes start to re-capture the hilarity of the first few scenes, but ultimately there's just too much time allotted to Nicolas Cage screaming and James Caan sweet-talking Parker. Definitely worth a rental, and if you can get it for less than ten bucks, buy it. It's a good film, but it had the potential to be an awesome one.
Catherine_Grace_Zeh HONEYMOON IN VEGAS, in my opinion, is a sweet, funny, and touching comedy about love overcoming all odds for two people to be together. If you ask me, Tommy (James Caan) was an absolutely slimy fellow. When Jack (Nicholas Cage) was screaming his girlfriend's (Sarah Jessica Parker) name on the beach in Hawaii. In addition, when his flight was canceled, I was thoroughly moved. You'll have to see the movie if you want to know why. Before I wrap this up, I'd like to say that the flying Elvises were absolutely hilarious. Now, in conclusion, I strongly recommend this sweet, funny, and touching comedy about love overcoming all odds for two people to be together to all you Nicolas Cage, Sarah Jessica Parker, or James Caan fans who have not seen it.
