What Happens in Vegas 5

"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."

What Happens in Vegas 4

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 2

**SPOILERS**

The question before us is this: would you stay married to a person you'd just recently met (and whom you could barely stand) if you knew that, after six months as a couple, you would be free to go your separate ways and - here's the really good part - be handed a prize of $3,000,000 for your trouble? If that sounds like the setup for yet another of those preposterously cheesy TV reality shows, think again. It's actually the premise of "What Happens in Vegas," a big-budget romantic comedy starring Ashton Kutcher and Catherine Diaz as two Manhattanites who get more than they bargained for when they head to Sin City for an emotional pick-me-up after suffering major traumas in their lives. Jack has recently been fired from his carpentry job (by his own father no less), while Joy has suffered the humiliation of being dumped by her fiance in front of all their mutual friends. When the two strangers meet, it's instant pandemonium, thanks to an adjoining hotel bathroom, an abundance of free-flowing liquor, some quickie nuptials and a slot-machine jackpot worth $1.5 million dollars per person.

Just how this couple winds up getting hitched - and why so much money is involved in the outcome - need not be detailed here. All you need to know is that "What Happens in Vegas" plays out with all the cliches one would expect from a romantic comedy, as Jack and Joy hurl objects and invective at one another until, as if by magic, it suddenly dawns on them how truly, madly, deeply in love with each other they are and that maybe, with a little teamwork and effort, they could make this marriage thing work for real. To complete the totality of the cliché, both Jack and Joy are saddled with best friends (Rob Corddry and Lake Bell, respectively) who function as wacky, wisecracking sidekicks - and who help them pull off all the insufferably inane, mean-spirited tricks the principal characters play on each other. Jason Sudeikis, Queen Latifah, Dennis Miller and Treat Williams also put in appearances, though my suspicion is that they`d be more than happy to have this particular turkey expunged from their acting resumes toot sweet.

The sad fact is that it's a mite difficult to develop a rooting interest in a relationship in which the two individuals display all the wit and emotional maturity of a couple of developmentally-disabled five-year-olds. The lower these two otherwise attractive people stoop in their treatment of one another, the more disheartening - and less funny - the movie itself becomes.
