After losing $65,000 to professional gambler and con man, penniless Jack Singer agrees to let him borrow his beautiful fiancée, Betsy, for a Hawaiian getaway to pay off his debts. But suddenly Jack is insanely jealous, and pursues them, but finds pitfalls in his path as the gambler tries to delay his interference.
With his wild, thinning hair and general look of disease, Cage's interpretation of Jack's desperation is a total hoot, bravely unglamorous and consistently agitated.
Comedy version of, 'Indecent Proposal.' Oddly enough, both of them are equally stupid.

The romantic comedy version of its setting: an overgrown theme park that momentarily amuses, wears down the body and spirit, but mentally stays behind. [Blu-ray]
A solid B movie with old-school comedy reminiscent of Mel Brooks. Parker and Cage give standard play. It's James Caan that gives the film its spark. He's marvelous.
