The greatest movie ever!

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

This is ultimately a movie about the very bad things that can happen when we don't address our unease, when we just try to brush it off, whether that's to fit in or to preserve our self-image.

There is definitely an excellent idea hidden in the background of the film. Unfortunately, it's difficult to find it.

Despite some bad rap this film is not really bad it just needs to be watch to understand.What Happens In Vegas centers around Joy McNally (Played by Cameron Diaz) who travels to Las Vegas after being dumped by her fiancé Mason (Played by Jason Sudeikis) with her best friend Tipper (Played by Tipper)Where the same time Jack Fuller (Played by Ashton Kuctcher) and Hater (Played by Rob Corddy) his best friend and Lawyer after Jack was fired by his boss/father Jack Fuller Sr (Played by Treat Williams). Unaware Joy and Jack ended up in the same room and end up after a one night stand getting married and when Jack used her quarter to win 3 million dollars. The Judge order them to make their marriage or they will never seen a dime of the money.Which of course leads up to a series of events in the marriage. Now the story is interesting and in a way original considering plus they have several creative humor in the film which makes you roll on the floor laughing and find yourself repeating.Ashton and Cameron make for a interesting on screen couple through out the film and they do very well with making us laugh. Lake makes for a interesting best friend as does Rob.The songs used in the film work as well as it helps the story in terms of story telling. The film is just not a classic but it is not a bad one either it is just one you have to watch to understand.It has a original plot with some good performance from Ashton and Cameron so if you're curious give it a try.I give What Happens In Vegas an 7 out of 10

What Happens in Vegas is designed as a crowd pleaser. Fortunately, it's done well enough that it can stand the passage of time. It was an instant hit, and I must say, it's easy to watch over and over again.Cameron Diaz who plays a modern power woman and Ashton Kutcher who plays a lazy party guy are funny as hell, and perfect for each other. Their sidekicks carry the brunt of the crazy behaviors and make the main characters look more normal.The scenario is a nice roller coaster with few pause that only serve as jumping board for more wacky entertainment. The romance itself and the sweetening of the story is even well done. The souring was also handled pretty well, they didn't go off the deep end, and did it simply. The soundtrack is upbeat and current, and the editing hide some nice surprises.The only thing I could reproach is the plainness of the dialogs. Nothing spectacular there, but no clumsy attempts either and it's funny, so it's difficult to really complain.Weirdly enough, no sex, which is good, it would have just ruined the vibe. It's a good chick flick, as well as a guy flick. There's stuff of everyone in their.For good entertainment, see it.

I got given this film by a friend for a birthday present and she said it was really good so I had quite high expectations for it. I thought that Diaz and Kutcher's performances were funny and witty. It had a good story-line and it was very well thought out. I thought the fact that you got to see the wedding later on in the credits was a clever idea. Some of the scenes made me laugh out loud but other parts of the film were a little cheesy and very predictable. It was funny how similar reasons brought them to the same place. Overall I would say What Happens In Vegas is a funny feel-good film. I would give it a 7/10 and say that it is suitable for anyone 10+.

I let curiosity get the best of me on this one. I had to find out what Rob Corddry, Zach Galifianakis, and Dennis Miller were doing in a romantic comedy based around America's most overrated hotspot to visit: Vegas. This whole movie was essentially a two-sentence-long plot about a couple of crazy people who are dumb enough to get a shotgun wedding in a drunken haze, win a bunch of money, fight about who's money it is, go to court to get ordered to spend six months together or else forfeit the money, and find that even though they hated each other, they start to fall in love. Cosmo BS. They use the same horrible examples as millions of other romantic comedies (ie. Whining "You keep leaving the seat up" and "I can't sleep in your disgusting bed.") and it just shows how dull these movies really are. Basically, the movie was just a validation for Ashton and Cameron to continue "working" as "actors." She does the WORST fake emotions I've ever seen in an actress BTW. The brief jokes by the aforementioned Corddry, Galifianakis, and Miller were not even enough to pick up the scenes they were in. The director pretty much made it clear that "you're watching an Ashton and Cameron movie only, and as long as you're watching, you're stuck in their simple- minded world." Don't bother.
