Nicolas
Cage & Sarah Jessica Parker are a couple in love, but a promise he made to
his dying mother has put Jack off the idea of marriage. With Betsy asking for a
commitment, Jack decides to go for it and against his mum’s wishes proposes
that he & Betsy travel to Las Vegas and get married the next day.
As
the couple settle into their hotel, professional poker player Tommy Korman
spots Betsy from across the lobby and instantly recognises her as a double for
his late wife. With his heart stolen he sets up a poker game and invites Jack
to attend before his wedding, but he has a hidden agenda – to win Betsy.
While
Jack is borrowing more and more money to win the game, Betsy relaxes by the
pool, but as the afternoon wears on she begins to wonder whether Jack has
changed his mind about the wedding, so when he finally emerges from the hotel
she’s pleased, but not for long.
Jack
explains to her that he borrowed too much money from Tommy, but he’s agreed to
let it go if Betsy spends the weekend with him. Furious, Betsy refuses to even
consider the idea, but with a little persuasion she agrees to meet with Tommy
for dinner where he tells her that they’re to spend the weekend in Hawaii alone
causing alarm bells to ring for both Betsy & Jack.
As
Betsy flies to Hawaii with Tommy, Jack waits for her return, but when he
suspects Tommy’s plan all along was to steal her away and marry her for
himself, he realises that if he really wants to marry Betsy, he has to fight
for her and sets off on a race to win his girl back.
A
light-hearted comedy co-starring lots of Elvis Presley impersonators.
This
movie was ok to watch, but it was a bit over the top and far-fetched for me –
more of a chance for the actors to play around and have fun without taking
themselves too seriously.
