Movie Reviews of What Happens in Vegas (Widescreen Edition)
Movie Review: You've already seen this movie
Summary: 2 Stars
If you've seen any "romantic comedy" made between 1998 and the present, you've pretty much seen this movie. All the usual cliches are here: the young irresponsible rakish male who doesn't want to grow up or be tied down, the poor, victimized woman who's been dumped, all the tired obligatory battle-of-the-sexes scenes, and the man of course, at the end, realizing how in the wrong he was and begging for the woman's hand in marriage. Oh, and about 20 iterations of men getting kicked or punched in the genitals.
Summary of What Happens in Vegas (Widescreen Edition)
After the wildest party night of their lives, two mismatched strangers, Jack (Ashton Kutcher) and Joy (Cameron Diaz), wake up in Vegas to discover they not only got lucky ??" they got married! The road to annulment takes a hilarious turn after Jack wins a three-million-dollar jackpot while playing Joy???s quarter and a no-nonsense judge (Dennis Miller) sentences them to six months ???hard marriage.??? What follows is an all-out war of the sexes as Jack and Joy go to outrageous lengths to try and cheat each other out of the money. But in the end, they may learn that when you gamble on love, you just might win, against all odds!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
