What Happens in Vegas is a comedy waiting to happen. It takes an old premise (drunk strangers regretting their decision to get married in Las Vegas) and adds in a dilemma (a $3 million slot machine win) that could've been easily resolved. But then again, there would've been no movie if the unhappily wedded couple figured out that splitting the money in half and getting their marriage annulled would've been quick and effective. Cameron Diaz plays uptight clean-freak Joy, who has just been dumped by her fiance. Ashton Kutcher is Jack, a slacker furniture maker who has been fired--by his own dad. Each goes to Vegas to let off some steam. And while they have nothing in common (except being exceptionally good looking) they make out, get married, and fight over the money Jack wins with Joy's quarter. Instead of letting the couple get divorced, a judge sentences the odd couple to half a year of marriage. What happens in Vegas doesn't stay in Vegas, but extends into New York where Jack and Joy live. Both actors have fared well in comedies, especially Diaz in My Best Friend's Wedding. And while Kutcher still has to live down Dude, Where's My Car?, he showed a lot of comedic flair and charm in A Lot Like Love. But the two face an uphill battle here with inane dialogue and a premise that not only is unbelievable, but unlikeable. The two are so incompatible (and immature) they can't even control bathroom time and, in Jack's case, his bladder. --Jae-Ha Kim

 Great transaction! November 13, 2008
want a good laugh, gotta watch this movie. I could watch it again, and again.
 Pleasantly Surprised November 13, 2008
I really was surprised after watching this movie about just how entertaining it was. To be honest I ws expecting something I was going to suffer through with a couple laughs. Sure there is not much to think about and it was a somewhat typical romantic flick but it was worth the time spent watching. Both Ashton Kutcher and Cameron Diaz were funny and played wonderful roles. My biggest negative is that sometimes it got redundant when they were trying to screw up each other lives and it would have been nice to see them start to connect with each other for a longer period of time.
If you want a good fun movie that doesn't require thinking and can give you some laugh out loud moments then this is an excellent choice.
 This was a comedy??? November 8, 2008
Night of the living Dead is a laugh riot compared to this corps for a comedy.
 stupid and funny at the same time November 7, 2008
It was an ok movie with some funny parts. I enjoyed it because I rented it "on demand" for only $4. If I would have bought it for $20, I would have been upset. So basically, if you want to RENT IT, go ahead. If you want to BUY it, don't!

This review is written by Mr. Bradberry's students:
our movie is What Happens in Vegas,one we were supperised that how funny it was.this movie Stared Cameron Diaz and Aston Kutcher,What Happens in Vegas is a drumatic Comedy with two good Actors that make the movie good.This movie has some romantic and funny scenes. There's no need to see the movie because it's the normal story line. A guy meets a girl they fight, and get back toghther. We think this movie is the best because of it's funny scenes and you'll be laughing the hole way through the movie.
