Honeymoon In Vegas

Nicolas Cage loses his fiancee (Sarah Jessica Parker) to James Caan in a poker game and a flock of Elvis impersonators go skydiving over Las Vegas, in an enjoyable though distinctly second-degree comedy by writer-director Andrew Bergman. Full of fun around the edges, it’s rather flat and unfelt at the center. (The three leading characters would make more sense in an Esther Williams musical than in a character comedy like this one.) It’s not on the level of Bergman’s So Fine and The Freshman, but you might have some fun with it. With Johnny Williams, John Capodice, Robert Costanzo, Anne Bancroft, Pat Morita, Peter Boyle, and Seymour Cassel. 95 min. (JR)
