Nick Cage, Sarah Jessica Parker, James Caan and two cameos by Ben Stein and Tony Shaloub. What more could you ask for from a comedy? Well, you COULD ask for a few more laughs, but all in all – this one is definitely worth the watch – if just for the end.
Nick Cage plays Jack, a guy who has mommy issues. Not like SOME people have mommy issues – his are worse. On her death bed, his mom made him promise to never marry. Of course he thought that was ridiculous and refused to say ok…then she immediately died in front of him …and he agreed in a screaming voice – and came to regret it later.
After realizing he has met the girl of his dreams and that girl won’t wait for him to decide about whether or not he’s willing to marry her ANY LONGER, he takes her to Vegas, gets mixed up in a fixed card game and loses her for the weekend to a massively rich gambler named Tommy who falls for the girlfriend Betsy since she looks just like his beloved dead wife Donna. He whisks her off to Hawaii leaving Jack to worry and wait for them to come home. Jack goes back home and tries to get through the day wondering and worrying about what Betsy is doing with Tommy. He decides he can’t live with the not knowing any longer and he gets on a plane and heads to Hawaii – a comedy of errors leads him to never run into them on the island and he races back to Vegas – since Betsy has been convinced by Tommy to marry HIM instead of Jack. He hops the first plane that will get him near there and ends up in San Jose. That’s where he meets the Sky Diving Elvis’s – UTAH CHAPTER. He falls from a plane in a specially designed Elvis jumpsuit and lands right in the perfect position to sweep her back off her feet.
