What Happens in Vegas

What Happens in Vegas (2008)

--Tom Vaughan

Probably ya'll already know the plot of this one. Two people (Diaz, Kutcher) go to Vegas and party, get married drunk, win money, go to get a divorce, but the judge sentences them to live as a married couple for six months instead and they both try to prove that they are doing so, but that the other person is doing something for which they could get a divorce and end up with the money simultaneously, but then they end up actually falling for each other. Rob Corddry is also in it. As is Jason Sudeikis, Queen Latifah, and Dennis Miller, briefly.

Yeah, this film is kind of what you'd expect as far as romantic comedies go these days. Lots of dumb physical humor. I don't really like Ashton Kutcher by the way, but he was sometimes okay in this film. And for some reason I do like Cameron Diaz, but she was kinda bad in this one. I don't even really have anything to say about it, because it was kind of like all of those other romantic comedies, there was really not much to set it apart. It was just kind of blah and that's what is being channeled into this review right now.

I guess it was okay, but there are about a million other films I would recommend before this one. Rob Corddry was kinda funny sometimes I think. And I sorta liked Diaz's character's friend, she was likable to me. Oh wait, I do have something. I thought that the Vegas montage (and that's all it was) was really weird. It was like a big commercial for the city and that's probably where the film got a lot of funding. And it was basically full of every Vegas stereotype you can think of. There it is...
