The Movie: Honeymoon in Vegas is a DVD I rented just because it's about Vegas. It's an entertaining comedy about a guy (Nicholas Cage) who goes to Vegas to marry his girlfriend (Sarah Jessica Parker), only to lose $60,000 in a poker game to a big time gambling hustler (James Caan) -- and to repay the debt they enter into an Indecent Proposal type agreement where Caan gets to take Parker away for a weekend.

The twist is that Parker's character looks just like Caan's dead wife, and he takes her away to his mansion in Hawaii to try to woo her into marrying him. Meanwhile, Cage goes on a desperate search to try to get her back which takes him back to New York, to Hawaii (where he goes on a crazy cab ride with driver Pat Morita), and back to Vegas on a plane full of skydiving Elvis impersonators, in order to stop James Caan's plan of stealing his girlfriend away forever.

The movie is absurd, and funny, and well, it's just another one of those things where as outrageous as it may be, in the city of Las Vegas, it could actually happen!.

The DVD: From a technical standpoint, this was a pretty horrible disc. This movie is available only in pan and scan, and the transfer is horrible. It's so dirty that it's distracting, and the transfer lacked any sort of clarity -- which they tried to fix using some edge enhancement but what they ended up with was a blurry picture with "ringing" effects from the processing. The audio was right on the same level as the video, and the only special feature is a theatrical trailer.
