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.
Suddenly the man is insanely jealous, and pursues his fiancée and her rich companion, but finds pitfalls in his path as the gambler tries to delay his interference...
it's hard to believe that a year after this movie came out. Adrian Lyne gave the story a little spin, made it into a drama and had a major hit with Indecent proposal. This features a maniacal Cage, who isn't dissimilar to Chandler in friends with his body language, and gives the film a much needed injection of life into the sometimes lethargic movie.
It's nowhere near as funny as when i saw the movie nearly seventeen years ago, but it still has it's moments. Caan can do this role walking in his sleep, and i feel that he only really did this for the money. Parker does best with the little material she is given, and while the film isn't really laugh out loud funny, it still has the odd moments, such a the character who is convinced his wife is having an affair with Mike Tyson.
it's not really going to be remembered in Cages resume, apart from the fact it was one of his three 'sunshine movies', and the ending is predictable.
But it's still a lot of fun to watch Cage and his amazing eyebrows
