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

Product Description
Cameron Diaz and Ashton Kutcher star as strangers who wake up a married couple after a crazy night in Las Vegas in director Tom Vaughn's (STARTER FOR 10) feature film. Joy (Diaz) is the type of woman who makes plans to make plans. She's expecting a marriage proposal, but her live-in boyfriend, Mason (Jason Sudeikis), has other ideas. When he dumps her, Joy heads to Vegas to forget her troubles with her friend Tipper (Lake Bell) and discovers her fun, spontaneous side. Unfortunately, she also wakes up with recently unemployed Jack (Kutcher) as her husband. The two quickly decide to divorce, but the plot thickens when Jack wins a $3 million slot jackpot using Joy's quarter. Since neither one of them wants to give up the cash, they each try to drive the other to file for divorce and give up the bounty. But love has a funny way of appearing when you least expect it, and in acting their worst, Joy and Jack actually bring out the best in each other. Diaz and Kutcher have nice onscreen chemistry and make a very photogenic couple. Treat Williams stars as Jack's difficult-to-please father, while Rob Corddry is Jack's best friend, Hater. Queen Latifah and Dennis Miller appear briefly as a marriage counselor and divorce court judge, respectively. The Vegas scenes are flashy and fun--just like Sin City--and the settings for the New York City scenes differentiate nicely between Joy's organized, structured life and Jack's less serious, happy-go-lucky attitude.

This movie is HILARIOUS!! It was surprisingly funny but also a very sweet story when it gets down to it. I loved it and that's the reason why I bought it. NO matter how many times you watch it, you'll always find something to laugh about. Def. for a mature audience due to language and situations, however compared to some movies it is rather tame. I think the chemistry between Ashton Kutcher and Cameron Diaz is wonderful. Also, the banter between their two best friends is great.

As far as romantic comedies goes, the movie is pretty cute. I have already watched it several times. It is one you can listen to and semi-watch while doing house chores. Ashton and Cameron Diaz are a good fit for this film.
"What Happens In Vegas" Stays In My Romantic Comedy DVD Collection May 27, 2009
J. B. Hoyos (Chesapeake, VA)
"What Happens In Vegas" is a very sweet, tender-hearted romantic comedy with a fairytale ending. Two socially mismatched people find the true meaning of happiness. It's not what you do for a living that makes you happy. It's who you're with, while you're doing it, that makes you happy.
Having just experienced major disappointments in life and love, Jack (Ashton Kutcher of "Just Married" and "My Boss's Daughter") and Joy (Cameron Diaz of "My Best Friend's Wedding" and "The Holiday") take their buddies and go to Sin City. They meet, party, get wasted and are married in a chapel. The next morning, both of them are regretfully thinking "annulment." That would've been the end of the fairytale if Jack hadn't won a three million dollar jackpot. Greedy boy wants it all to himself but Joy insists on splitting it because they are legally married. Next, they appear before a judge who sentences them to six months of "hard marriage" before he will grant them a divorce. Meanwhile, each one tries to drive the other crazy in hopes that they will beg for a quick divorce and forfeit their share of the loot.
Talk about chemistry. Kutcher and Diaz are like hydrogen and oxygen. By themselves, their characters are dangerous; together they create life-giving water. They are incredibly adorable and funny. These two popular and extremely talented actors looked as though they had a great time making this film. How I envy them. In fact, everyone (leads and supporting cast) looked as though they were having fun. It is the type of movie that will make you forget your worries for a couple of hours.
"What Happens In Vegas" is one of the best romantic comedies I've seen thus far this year. It is highly recommended for fans of romantic comedies and fans of Diaz and Kutcher. It reminded me much of "How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days" - another one of my favorites. Also recommended is "27 Dresses," "The Wedding Planner," "Maid in Manhattan," and "While You Were Sleeping."
Fun, great comedy, they work really great together. May 17, 2009
