I usually like most movies, but have to say this one was really a dog. The acting was very high school,, although the supporting characters weren't bad. The whole premise of the movie is a bad joke - and it's all been done before. Really - getting drunk and marrying a stranger in Vegas? Been done before. Not funny the millionth time. Then there was all the little jokes, like her showing him how to keep the toilet seat in the down position.. Again, done before a million times on bad television shows. And the entire premise of the judge ordering them to live together as man and wife.?? yes,, done before. It's the same premise as the Jerry Seinfeld show when Jerry got his own TV show based on the premise that he is in a car accident and the judge sentences the guy to be his butler. Every joke in this movie is old. Wow.

What Happens in Vegas (2008): Dir: Tom Vaughn / Cast: Ashton Kutcher, Cameron Diaz, Rob Corddry, Lake Bell, Dennis Miller: The city of lights becomes the happening for Ashton Kutcher and Cameron Diaz who meet in Vegas and end up married after a drunken evening. Divorce court follows but the issue regards the jackpot he scored on her coin. Starts out fine but becomes predictable. The ending works due to a selfless act. Director Tom Vaughn is backed with great Vegas locations fuelled with the energy reputed with the city. Kutcher plays off the irresponsible nature of someone not easily caring but will learn that selfishness isn't an asset to relationships. Diaz was dumped by her fiancé yet displays total selflessness that render the film worth the trip. Both will bicker and one-up each other in the meantime. Rob Corddry as Kutcher's best friend and lawyer plays above conventions and steals scenes with his crass beliefs and hilarious advice. Lake Bell as Diaz's best friend is unfortunately flat and never highlighted as Corddry successfully portrays himself. Dennis Miller is also wasted as a judge that lands down the plot problem. Fans of romantic comedies will no doubt indulge in this venture to Vegas thanks to the two leads. It presents marriage is a team ordeal where love and sacrifice go beyond anything that happens in Vegas. Score: 8 ½ / 10

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.

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.
