Greenes Please don't spend money on this.
Marketic It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.
FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
Joanna Mccarty Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.
cricketbat A standard romantic comedy (complete with obligatory ending chase scene), but the reason it gets the extra half a star is because of some hilarious moments and one-liners with Ashton Kutcher. Not a great movie, but a fun one to watch.
tbills2 What Happens In Vegas, stays in Vegas, baby! Whoo! That's right! Vegas, baby! Vegas! Vegas!Cameron Diaz and Ashton Kutcher are really good and funny in What Happens In Vegas, and really hot! Cameron Diaz makes me wanna travel to Vegas and marry a sweet good looking babe like herself and really hit the jackpot! Ashton should really stop complaining. Ashton Kutcher is really nice and good alongside Cameron. Old boy Ashton kind of gets a bad wrap because he's genuinely a good guy. Cameron is such a gorgeous sexy babe! Vegas, baby! Whoo! Yes! She really has a great sense of humor and an absolutely fabulous heiny! Seeing Cameron in her skivies is worth way more than 3,000,000 bucks. It has a great cast. Dennis Farina is great. Lake Bell is good in her role and a real spark plug. Rob Cordry is funny as the side mate and he should do more stuff that's funny on TV and in movies and stuff. Vegas! Vegas, baby! Queen Latifah is good to see and funny to watch. Deirdre O'Connell is wonderful as Ashton's character's mom. Who is that? Do I know her? Treat Williams is classic as Ashton's character's dad. Jason Seudekis is funny and he stands out as a good soon to be star. Dennis Miller is hilarious as the judge. Dennis Miller should be in charge of purgatory. Is that where we are now? No. Zach Galfinakas is gosh darn funny and he's involved in one of the best parts of this funny comedy. Andy Daly is hilarious and plays a funny part. Krysten Ritter is very memorable and she is looking smoking hot. Michelle Krusiec is really impressive and super appealing. I really find her to be nice and Michelle should make a name for herself more in the future. Cameron and Ashton's characters are really good. They talk too much, but they're so hot honestly does anyone even care? This comedy is really funny and even moreso What Happens In Vegas is really good.Whoo! Vegas! We're going to Vegas, baby! Yeaaahh!
Avid Climber What Happens in Vegas is designed as a crowd pleaser. Fortunately, it's done well enough that it can stand the passage of time. It was an instant hit, and I must say, it's easy to watch over and over again.Cameron Diaz who plays a modern power woman and Ashton Kutcher who plays a lazy party guy are funny as hell, and perfect for each other. Their sidekicks carry the brunt of the crazy behaviors and make the main characters look more normal.The scenario is a nice roller coaster with few pause that only serve as jumping board for more wacky entertainment. The romance itself and the sweetening of the story is even well done. The souring was also handled pretty well, they didn't go off the deep end, and did it simply. The soundtrack is upbeat and current, and the editing hide some nice surprises.The only thing I could reproach is the plainness of the dialogs. Nothing spectacular there, but no clumsy attempts either and it's funny, so it's difficult to really complain.Weirdly enough, no sex, which is good, it would have just ruined the vibe. It's a good chick flick, as well as a guy flick. There's stuff of everyone in their.For good entertainment, see it.
Jackson Booth-Millard You know the classic catchphrase about the place they call Sin City, "What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas", my only nag about a good title is that this should be a story all set in the gambling capital of the world, but then again there are more nags than that, from director Tom Vaughan (Starter for 10). Basically stockbroker Joy McNally (Razzie nominated Cameron Diaz) is dumped by her boyfriend and fiancé on the night of his birthday where many friends had gathered to surprise him, and at the same time carpenter Jack Fuller (Ashton Kutcher) is fired by his father Jack Sr. (Treat Williams) from his job. Joy with her friend, bartender Tipper (Lake Bell), and Jack with his friend, District Attorney/lawyer Hater (Hot Tub Time Machine's Rob Corddry), they all decide to get away from things by heading to Las Vegas, and that is where the two meet and from a computer error end up in the same room. When the mix up is sorted, getting upgraded rooms and coupons, they decide to hang out together gambling, partying and drinking in various clubs, and the next morning is when they realise that they got married. They want an immediate divorce from each other, but before they part Jack uses a quarter that Joy gave him on a slot machine, and he hits the three million dollar jackpot, and she realises she is entitled to half the money in their separation. Their attempt to divorce though is unsuccessful because Judge Whopper (Dennis Miller) does not feel there is enough evidence to show their marriage was a mistake, so he orders them to live together for six months and try to be a real wedded couple, while also attending marriage counselling with Dr. Twitchell (Queen Latifah). If they try to work things out but still in six months want a divorce they will be allowed to split the fortune, otherwise the money will be tied up in litigation. Joy and Jack as the newlyweds know that if they can stick out the six months they will get their share of the money, i.e. $1.5 million each, but of course during this time they are trying to outdo each other with infuriating habits. There is also a point when they both come up with the plan that if they cheat on the other then they would be allowed a divorce much quicker, of course both come up with this scheme at the same time and see each other's true colours. Slowly though as Joy and Jack are forced to stay with each other during their time they may be forming a real attraction for each other, and besides having a couple of real married couple arguments that Dr. Twitchell is noticing, they may be finding a mutual understanding. As the final day and court hearing approaches, Joy unexpectedly has ex fiancé Mason (Hall Pass's Jason Sudeikis) asking for her back, proposing once again, to which she doesn't accept, and she finds out Jack set this up. There is discussion that they truly did try to make things work, so they would split the money, taking away taxes and bills, evenly, but Joy decides she doesn't want money or anything from Jack anymore, he gets all the money, but he knows she talked to Mason. She even denies a promotion she had been working a long time for, and quits her job disappearing with no-one knowing where she is, Jack realises his big mistake and goes in search of her, he finds her where she said is the only place that makes her happy. Jack asks Joy to be his wife again having truly fallen in love with her, she says yes but is concerned that having quit her job she won't won't know what to do, he reminds her they have three million dollars, and they live happily married ever after, we also get to see their original drunken wedding in Las Vegas. Also starring Dennis Farina as Richard Banger, Deirdre O'Connell as Judy Fuller, The Hangover's Zach Galifianakis as Dave the Bear and Yogi Bear's Andrew Daly as Curtis. Diaz may be beautiful, but as the control freak easily angered it is hard to find her the best female lead, and Kutcher I have always though is not the most reliable actor, in their scenes together there is the smallest amount of chemistry, but the story is predictable with a couple originally hating each other eventually falling in love, and there are not enough good laughs, so it is a rather disappointing romantic comedy. It was nominated the Razzie for Worst Screen Couple for Diaz and Kutcher. Adequate!
