Honeymoon in Vegas
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.
Critics Sentiment
Jack overcomes his fear and skydives from 3000 feet to reach Betsy
Tommy offers to erase debt in exchange for weekend with Betsy
The film surges from its lowest point during the morally questionable weekend deal to its comedic peak with the Flying Elvises revelation and skydiving climax.
Honeymoon in Vegas follows a classic comedy arc that starts moderately well with Anne Bancroft's memorable opening, dips significantly during the uncomfortable premise of the weekend deal, then builds momentum through Jack's increasingly desperate pursuit. The film reaches its creative and comedic peak with the inspired Flying Elvises sequence and skydiving climax, which reviewers universally praised as original and hilarious.
