Common Sense Note

Parents need to know that Honeymoon in Vegas is a '90s comedy that relies on outrageous situations, dimwitted characters who make foolish decisions, and a traditional romantic-story device (boy loves girl, boy loses girl, and, the climactic dilemma -- will boy get girl back?). Set in an extravagant Las Vegas invaded by Elvis Presley impersonators, the movie is a sexual farce without actual sex. Though there's plenty of innuendo, women in sexy clothes, and a plot that has its hero lending his beloved to a shady gambler for a weekend, there's no sexual activity other than a few bedroom scenes with cuddling and kisses between loving partners whose bare backs and shoulders are visible. Occasional obscenities throughout ("whore," "bastard," "screw," "piss," "bastard," "set of balls," "s--t"); drinking and smoking occur in numerous scenes without any drunken behavior. Cameo performances by popular celebrities and actors and a full Elvis Presley score sung by musical stars of 1992 are highlights. Lowlights include the "woman as chattel" mindset and the overall teasing emphasis on women as sexual objects.
