    This movie was totally funny and cute. I think Cameron wasn't all on her game in this movie, but Ashton made up for it.

    Jack (Ashton) and Joy (Cameron) meet one night in Vegas. They get married and then Jack wins 3 million dollars on the slots. The judge freezes the money and makes them work at their marriage for 6 months. Very funny movie. Good cast and plot.

    Some would wonder why i'm taking the time to review this movie or why did i even bother watch in the first place. Well to answer the first question i must say that i enjoy talking trash about trashy movies so that's why im writing this review. And to answer the second question, s...( read more)ometimes hormones work against us, and a movie that has Cameron Diaz in it is an attraction for me and i can't but watch it. Anyway lets go back to the main case here which is the fact that "What Happens In Vegas" is a really bad movie. Was it a surprise? Not really, i was expecting that buti couldn't help watching it for reasons i already stated.

    the movie talks about a guy who has been fired from his job and a woman who has been dumped by her fiancee. To take a break they decide to go to Vegas and in very ridiculous incidents they meet there. They wake up the second day with a hangover and discover that they got married and they have no memory of the event. I'm overwhelmed with originality here. What follows is a series of events where they both fight over something that goes missing through the events and you forget at the end what they are fighting about. Yes, it's your typical romantic comedy that follows all the same formulas and never go out of line. But the point is, these formulas are bad and they need reformulating. Romantic comedies were made for classics like Gorge Cuckor's movies and no one will outmatch them and even come close to them.

    These movies always surprise me negatively by the way the always come up with events that really won't take place in real life. So how are we suppose to familiarize with these characters if they act in ways no one will ever think doing. It's just sad how writers and movie makers ridiculize themselves by making such movies that will only bring their names lower and lower. It's a very short review for me and but there's nothing to say about this movie. It's very predictable and you will know the ending from the beginning coz it's nothing we haven't seen before in movies of the same genre.

    The acting here is bad, well it's nothing new or unexpected from someone like Ashton Kutcher who always gave us extremely bad performances in mediocre movies that only match his talent. Regardless of the fact that i like Cameron Diaz a lot, but her performance was really bad, not worse than Kutcher but it was bad for her.

    Not a critical success but I thought it was very funny. I like both of the main actors and although it was predictable there was still a lot to like about the story.

    Here is a "romantic comedy" where I can actually imagine the "comedic potential" in the premise - too bad it is squandered so shamelessly on a long, dumb, headache-inducing, ugly, mean-spirited (PG-13-style) tale in which the outcome is predetermined long before the opening credi...( read more)ts roll. The plot: One half of the young couple at the center of this particular sitcom is Jack Fuller (Ashton Kutcher), a terminal slacker so inept at life that his own father (Treat Williams) fires him from a furniture business. The inevitable "better half" is the ironically-named Joy McNally (Cameron Diaz), a micromanaging, eager-to-please, workaholic (her boss, Richard Banger, is played by the ever-reliable Dennis Farina; I'll allow you to figure out the gag there), plan-obsessed shrew ("You made plans to make a plan!" is a constant refrain) who, as the movie opens, is dumped by fiancee' Mason (Jason Sudeikis)...in front of her friends...who are hiding...because it's his surprise birthday party...which she planned. Yeah, kind of a douche. Then, let's see here: Jack and Joy each head off to Las Vegas for the express purpose of drinking and partying away their troubles; Jack has his lawyer/best friend Hater (Rob Corddry) and Joy brings slightly skanky best pal Tipper (Lake Bell, who never ceases to amaze me - in terms of my disbelief at her continuing career). And there's Jack's other pal, who occasionally shows up, Dave the Bear (Zach Galifianakis, a funny comedian rendered inert here), who I'm pretty sure is a hairy gay man who looks for other hairy gay men to mate with; I realize this avenue is never explored, but why else would they call him that? Invariably, Jack and Joy get really stinking drunk and sleep together and, apparently, get married in their intoxicated state. Jack wants an annullment and she agrees, but things take a turn when they "share" a $3 million jackpot at the hotel casino; "What's mine is yours" and all that. So they're off to court: it was Joy's quarter, but slacker Jack inserted the quarter, pulled the lever, and got presented with the check. Unhappy with their unhappiness, if not a little amused, Judge Whopper (Dennis Miller; yes) sentences them to "6 months, hard marriage" and...hijinks ensue? The rest you pretty much see in the trailers, although I am a bit confused at the presence of Queen Latifah as Dr. Twitchell, a marriage counselor who sees them annually to check up on their progress. I think I said I could imagine the "comedic potential" of this film's premise. Allow me to clarify: were the screenplay by Dana Fox not so stale and moronic and the direction by Tom Vaughan not so utterly hacky, I could see how this might make a funny movie - except the film isn't very well-made, it's not very funny and the best that can be said is that the two utterly unlikable monsters at its center deserve each other - and should be quarantined from all others. My favorite parts? Dennis Miller as the judge gets in a good one-liner or two (I have a feeling they're improvised) - that and the ending credits: partially because of the John Oszajca song "I Hate You (My Friend)" and partially because it meant the film was over. What does that tell you?
