The movie begins with snapshots that describe the couple’s romantic and occupational lives. Then, the big mishap occurs with a one-drink dare, leading to a cheap wedding ring from a vending machine, though nothing looks cheap or vulgar on a beauty like Diaz. The clumsy and reckless(Ashton Kutcher) is fired by his boss and father (Treat Williams) and together with his friend and unsuccessful lawyer Hater (Rob Corddry), they decide to go to Las Vegas to have a good time. Meanwhile the fiance of the workaholic stock broker Joy McNally (Cameron Diaz) breaks up their engagement because of her lack of attitude. Her friend and bartender Tipper (Lake Bell) convinces Joy to spend a couple of days also in Las Vegas. Due to a hotel management mistake, they are lodged in the same room and later they hang around together. During the night, they get completely wasted and on the next morning, Jack and Joy find that they got married. While discussing to briefly end their wedding, Jack borrows a coin from Joy to gamble in the jackpot machine and wins three million dollars. They question in court the ownership of the money and the conservative Judge R. D. Whopper (Dennis Miller) freezes the money and sentence them to live together with Joy moving to Jack’s house for six months and attending regular counseling sessions. Each one decides to make the life of the other hell on Earth to force to get out of the marriage.
With Ashton Kutcher and Cameron Diaz in a movie named What Happens In Vegas and a tag line that says ‘battle of the sexes’, we expected something like a How To Lose A Guy In Ten Days or a There’s Something About Mary. But oh no! This movie was nothing close to anything romantic or comical at all.
“What Happens in Vegas” is silly, but one of the most delightful romantic comedies I have recently seen. There are many hilarious scenes that made me laugh a lot in my flight; the gorgeous, sexy and funny Cameron Diaz shows a wonderful chemistry with Ashton Kutcher that performs his traditional role of a goofy guy. My only remark is that it is hard to believe that a man could resist the charm of Cameron Diaz living together with her. Irrespective of the fact whether the movie turns out to be palatable or not. As for this film, it was leaning more towards the latter.
“What Happens in Vegas†again should have been released on Valentine’s Day–it’s the perfectly innocuous date movie. Right now, the romantic comedy is positioned as counter-programming to summer’s early top guns, “Iron Man,†“Speed Racer,†and the new “Indiana Jones,†all of which are male-driven, a situation that will slightly change with the May 30 release of “Sex and the City.â€
For one there was ‘NO’ chemistry between Kutcher and Diaz. Kutcher who has probably acted only in romantic comedies all his life looked like Diaz’s son.
The script suffers from a lack of imagination and zing. A good, witty script has always been the hallmark of good romantic comedies. But “What Happens in Vegas” is too eager to stick to the formula and takes no risk at all. We never for a moment doubt that the man and woman are going to get together in the end.
What ever said and done the movie is worth watching as it’s a stress buster and a great time killer.
