studioAT In Ashton Kutcher and Cameron Diaz you have two stars who can make this sort of romantic comedy in their sleep. They also bring such likability that it can paper over the cracks if perhaps the script or the characters are lacking a bit.However both these factors cannot save the fact that this is a dud film, that produces very few laughs, and wastes its stars.I cannot recommend it.

SnoopyStyle Joy McNally (Cameron Diaz) is a commodities trader in a relationship with Mason (Jason Sudeikis). However her surprise birthday party backfires when Mason breaks up with her. Jack Fuller (Ashton Kutcher) is constantly goofing off in the family business and his dad (Treat Williams) fires him. They both try to get away and Vegas! She's with her friend Tipper (Lake Bell), and he's with Hater (Rob Corddry). However a computer error puts the two groups in the same room. After being accused of being too uptight, she parties it up with the guys and Joy finds herself married to Jack. When they win a jackpot of $3M, the judge (Dennis Miller) orders them to stay together for 6 months.It starts off well as a simple rom-com. Diaz and Kutcher are both perfectly fine rom-com material. Lake Bell and Rob Corddry are funny inappropriate sidekicks. Everything is going fine if somewhat uninspired. I especially like the inherit hatred of Hater by Tipper. Once the stupid judgment happens, the movie starts to crash and burn. It just gets stupider and stupider. It turns insanely annoying. Both characters are left with no salvaging likeablility. I actually wish for a murder suicide for these two characters.

FilmBuff1994 What Happens In Vegas is a below average movie with a very cliché romantic comedy storyline that is made even worse with a cast that don't deliver any heart to their unlikeable characters,made even worse with one bad joke after another,the majority of them being offensive to both genders.I love Cameron Diaz and it is very rare when she lets me down,but this is a very big exception,Ashton Kutcher is alright but his movies are very hit or miss and this is definitely a big miss.While the story may seem like a fun and original set up for a romantic comedy, it really is the exact opposite,I would recommend What Happens in Vegas to absolutely no one.When Joy (Cameron Diaz) and Jack (Ashton Kutcher) meet in Las Vegas for one crazy night,they wake up the next morning married.They both agree to divorce until Jack wins $3 million in a casino with Joy's coin,then the couple are forced to stay married for 6 months to receive $1.5 million each.

Jordan Hunt 'What Happens In Vegas' is one of those common passing comedies that performs well financially but fails to establish any kind of legacy. Despite this, it has an immediately fresh premise which unfortunately dovetails into a predictable affair.After a raunchy night in Vegas, two very different people wake up married, and three million dollars richer. When a court order forces them to work on their communion, a battle of the sexes begins to each win their share of the cash.A hilarious first act provides the laughs that slowly become less consistent when a disappointing change of pace occurs. The script remains sharp and witty, with Diaz and Kutcher playing their annoying characters, well annoyingly; however the stellar introduction is so entertaining that it raises the bar too high. The original spin of 'What Happens In Vegas' is steadily diminished by cliché as the climax approaches. While audiences will have seen it all before regardless, had it been executed with the same frantic energy throughout then it could possibly have been salvaged by relentless humour.Clever writing, alongside genuinely funny jokes (and even some admittedly clever toilet humour) make this comic caper worth a watch. It is simply a shame that the cast nor the screenwriters could accommodate a rough transition from comedy to rom-com, a genre in which it is difficult to offer the element of surprise.7/10
