1992
96 minutes
This movie is about a man named Jack Singer who had promised his mother on her deathbed that he would never get married. He ends agreeing to marry Betsy and they arrive in Vegas to tie the knot. Before the ceremony can take place, a rich, professional gambler named Tommy Korman stages a poker game where Jack ends up losing $65 000 to the wealthy man. Arrangements are made for Tommy to spend a weekend with Betsy who reminds him of his late wife Donna. Jack becomes jealous and tries to get his fiancee back from Tommy while Tommy tries to delay Jack's attempts to interfere.
I liked this movie as a fun early 1990's Vegas comedy. Caan is really good and Nicolas Cage as always acts like Nicolas Cage; that happens to work perfectly in this movie. You can never go wrong with a movie that includes "The Flying Elvises". This movie is worth a rent for sure.
Trivia - Little Elvis was played by Bruno Mars when he was just 5 years old!

I like what your doing here Clay, if as a group we watch more poker movies than maybe we can all get as good as Nat X and Lemon at playing poker.
ROTFLMAO!
Go figure, Dandy Bloch is now beeking me on the internet. What's next? Lemon will learn how to play poker or the internet? What's this world coming to??
At this point I have mainly been lurking around here, and planning who to target at tomorrow's cash game. So far I've come up with everybody. Well except Clayton since he's actually good. Dandy is now in my #1 spot. I will bluff you Dandy and I most certainly will show 8 high after I do it! 2011 I make my return...
Oh Nathan dont take it so hard. One day you will be a gregular at the game again and Dandy will take your money. How can you target such a nice guy.
X, Did you make fun of the special needs kids in your school when you were growing up? Dandy's video is like one of his school projects. We appreciate the thought and we don't pick him apart because it was meant to be a lamp and it turned out to be an ashtray.
Dandy, don't worry about what the bully says, you are special and he only does it to make himself feel like a big man.
