Honeymoon Academy (also titled For Better or for Worse) is a 1989 American adventure comedy film directed by Gene Quintano, starring Robert Hays and Kim Cattrall.

The operation is headed by a notorious criminal named Lazos, who is looking to sell flawless $100 bill plates that could destroy the U.S economy.

[5] Quintano would maintain a long running association with Trans World Entertainment boss Moshe Diamant after this film.

[8] While a few shots were captured in Washington, DC, the majority of scenes set there, such as those featuring Judy Toll at the fake travel agency, were actually filmed in Spain.

[12][13] Dénia's Marinetta Cassiana beach was the backdrop for the film's finale, which required a bus to jump above the port, and into a fishing boat.

Kevin Thomas of the Los Angeles Times dismissed it as "a stale, repetitive comedy-adventure" with "plenty of action but none of it [...] inspired or funny", and remarked that "even the splendid Spanish locales look glum.

"[23] Malcolm Johnson of The Hartford Courant called it a "wearying, laughless comedy" and "a ludicrously inept directing debut" for Quintano.

[3] Joe Baltake of the Sacramento Bee lambasted the film as a "Honeymoon that never should have been", saddled with a "dated plot that plays like a Love, American Style reject".

[24] Chris Schaub of the Baltimore Sun was not amused either, writing that "as with [Police Academy], there's great emphasis on plot and little regard for logic, making for a lot of silliness most of it unfunny."

"[25] Joe Kane, resident genre reviewer for the New York Daily News, panned the film as "amazingly lame" and a "lackluster loser" reserved for "the most masochistic of hardcore [Christopher Lee] completists".

[26] Max McQueen of Cox News Service also wrote that "[t]his bargain-basement effort by Gene Quintano is in the running for the top spot on my worst-films-of-1990 list.

[27] Barbara Vancheri of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette was kinder than most, opining that "[i]n the grand scheme of movies, Honeymoon Academy is not really a bad film.

Kirby Weston of the Coventry Evening Telegraph called Hays and Cattrall "hilarious" and "an irresistible couple",[29] while Bob Eborall of The Ealing Leader praised "an amusingly different little movie to enjoy.
