After making a deathbed promise to his mother that he would never marry, Jack Singer (Nicolas Cage) finds that resolve challenged when his girlfriend, Betsy (Sarah Jessica Parker), begins making noise... read more read more... about wanting to start a family. Worried he might lose her, Jack makes the rash decision that they should fly to Las Vegas that weekend to tie the knot. Feet still cold, Jack spurns Betsy's idea to get married the moment they step off the plane, preferring to procrastinate for a few hours over a game of poker arranged by notorious gambler Tommy Korman (James Caan). Peddling the game as a get-to-know-you thrown by the hotel, Korman steadily raises the stakes on Jack until the novice is in for 65,000 dollars of the house's money on a hand he's sure he'll win -- a straight flush to the jack. When he loses the fixed hand, the flabbergasted Jack has a major problem on his hands. Korman offers an unusual solution: If Betsy, whom Korman spotted in the lobby because of her resemblance to his late wife, will spend the weekend with him, Jack's debt will be forgiven. Betsy initially refuses, considering it a ploy by Jack to postpone the wedding, but soon agrees to fly to Hawaii with Korman, in part because it will teach Jack a lesson. When she finds herself charmed by Korman's smooth and sensitive shtick, her desperate fiancé goes to incredible lengths to win her back, including jumping from a plane with a troop of skydiving Elvises. ~ Derek Armstrong, Rovi

    A great romantic comedy consisting of these great ingredients: a great soundtrack of Elvis music, James Caan, Sarah Jessica Parker & how can you forget Nicholas Cage. This is such a fun film! :)
  • October 1, 2009
    Not a bad comedy, Caan and Cage play off each other well, it?s just a bit unbelievable that Sarah Jessica Parker is worth fighting over that much! It?s also got a really good supporting cast
  • July 14, 2007
    Rather too reliant on comedy Elvises for its laughs, and far too few laugh out loud moments, its still likeable enough light entertainment
  • January 6, 2011
    Cage is hilarious as a commitment phobe who is scared to marry his sweetheart due to a promise he made to his dying Mother. A trip to Vegas threatens to derail Cage and his fiance Sarah Jessica Parker by a mob like figure Tommy deliciously played by James Caan, who wants Parker b... read moreecause she resembles his late wife. This film is goofy, unrealistic but still has heart and Cage is terrific.

    i dont like nic cage in romantic comedies and i wish he would stop doing them altogether
  • June 22, 2007
    Odd but watchable and cage is as good as normal.
  • February 9, 2011
    not funny, pointless, overreactions, and nicolas cage.....these are just a few mistakes the producers seemed to have kept in this trivial film.. the positives though, were flying elvis, mahi mahi, and the music......
  • October 5, 2008
    For some reason there's a creepy Dracula analogy floating through this. Kind of expected more from Bergman.
  • September 28, 2008
    One of the funniest movies I have seen. Cage, Parker, Caan, Boyle, Morita...geez, everyone is perfect. The flying Elvises are wild! All the Elvis impersonators are over the top. Watch it, too funny.
  • January 21, 2008
    This is a pretty average movie. Nicolas Cage and Sarah Jessica Parker have no chemistry and James Caan is totally creepy, but I give this flick more stars because of the following lines:

    Jack: Do you know what a straight flush is? It's like...unbeatable.
    Betsy: Like unbeatable ... read moreis not unbeatable.
    Jack: Hey, I knooow that now, okay?

    Betsy: I?m a whore, Jack! You made me into a whore! You brought me to Vegas and you turned me into a whore, Jack!

The romantic comedy version of its setting: an overgrown theme park that momentarily amuses, wears down the body and spirit, but mentally stays behind. [Blu-ray] Full Review

Ross Anthony, Hollywood Report Card

A solid B movie with old-school comedy reminiscent of Mel Brooks. Parker and Cage give standard play. It's James Caan that gives the film its spark. He's marvelous. Full Review

Tasteless, one-joke sex comedy.

It reminds me of those Cary Grant screwball comedies. Full Review

Funny romantic comedy, lots of Elvis jokes, and a lighthearted Nicholas Cage.

Comedy version of, 'Indecent Proposal.' Oddly enough, both of them are equally stupid.

Once in a while, the massive desert that is Modern American Comedy yields an oasis so sweet it simply demands to be appreciated. Full Review
