Critic Reviews

  • Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper

    The screenplay is awful, the direction is bland and the performances are beyond redemption.

  • John Anderson, Newsday

    What Happens in Vegas contains enough unbridled silliness to salvage its lowbrow high concept.

  • Joe Morgenstern, Wall Street Journal

    What Happens in Vegas... should have stayed in development -- forever. This ramshackle -- and occasionally repulsive -- farce doesn't even deliver on the minimal promise of its title; most of it takes place in Manhattan.

  • Claudia Puig, USA Today

    What Happens in Vegas refuses to take a gamble. Like a bleary-eyed gambler repeatedly tossing a pair of dice, it tiredly goes through the motions.

  • Philip Marchand, Toronto Star

    Here's a romantic comedy that is goofy, highly implausible, sometimes over the top, often in bad taste, and resolutely empty-headed. In short, it's the best example of its genre to appear on the screen this year.

    An exhaustive comedy, that with silly humor and immature characters, especially Jack Fuller (Ashton Kutcher) a good looking guy, but that has a childish behavior, have luck in attractive women (a very cliche kind of character) and act like a real fool with Joy (Cameron Diaz), instead… More

    "Gay people aren't ruining the sanctity of marriage, you people are!" What Happens in Vegas is another in a long line of predictable and painful to watch romantic comedies. Jack(Ashton Kutcher) and Joy(Cameron Diaz) meet in Vegas and after a night of partying end up… More
