BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment
XoWizIama Excellent adaptation.
ThrillMessage There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.
Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
Mr Black 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.
richieandsam WHAT HAPPENS IN VEGASI watched the movie first in the cinema when it first came out.The movie is about a man and a woman who meet in Vegas and get very drunk and get married. But just as they agreed that the wedding should be annulled, he wins a lot of money. She then decides that as they are married she is entitled to half... but a judge disagrees and makes them live as husband and wife to earn the cash.It is a cheesy comedy that has some good moments and some bad moments.The story is quite good, but this is a romantic comedy so just like all romcoms, the first 2 thirds of the movie is very good, but the final part is just mushy dribble.The movie stars Ashton Kutcher and Cameron Diaz. They are both completely over the top in this movie. I am not overly impressed with either of them as actors. I think Cameron can be funny, but generally just annoying. Ashton is not very funny, but can be entertaining at times. He was quite funny in this though.There were a lot of predictable moments in this film. There wasn't anything really original in there. I did like the way they fought each other throughout... I think that is was made this film as entertaining as it was.There are a lot of romantic comedies out there and sometimes I wish there would be some more original stories, but it seems that if you are making a film like this, there is a typical formula that you have to stick to.This film is good, it is funny, it is entertaining, but it is not the best. There are a lot more comedies out there that are a lot better.I will give this film 6 out of 10."I just wanna junk-punch him in his man business."For more reviews, please like my Facebook page:https://www.facebook.com/pages/Ordinary-Person-Movie- Reviews/456572047728204?ref=hl
namashi_1 Tom Vaughan's Box-Office Hit 'What Happens in Vegas' is A Decent Entertainer, that offers good laughs & sweet moments in the goings-on. Its funny & romantic.'What Happens in Vegas' Synopsis: A man and a woman are compelled, for legal reasons, to live life as a couple for a limited period of time. At stake is a large amount of money.'What Happens in Vegas' has a fabulous first-hour & a reasonably entertaining second. The pace is fast, the dialogue are crackling & the sequences, most of them between its leads, are satisfactory.The Screenplay by Dana Fox is winsome. Tom Vaughan's Direction is proficient. Cinematography is eye-catching. Editing is average.Performance-Wise: Cameron Diaz is in terrific form. Ashton Kutcher is equally praise-worthy. Also, the lead-pair share a superb on-screen chemistry throughout. Rob Corddry & Lake Bell are wonderful. Zach Galifianakis is funny. The Late/Great Dennis Farina is perfect.On the whole, 'What Happens in Vegas' is worth a watch.
ctomvelu1 I had to eventually turn this movie off, it was that bad. Kutcher and Diaz meet cute in Vegas, get drunk and get married -- and end up winning several million dollars. There's a fight over the money, and a judge orders the bickering couple, who are seeking an annulment, to stay together and work things out. Romance follows. Diaz is strident, Kutcher is wasted. I will say Diaz's gal pal (Bell) is hot, and I wouldn't mind spending time with her in Vegas. Unfortunately, she isn't the star. I will add I have been to Vegas 30 or 40 times over the years, always on business, and I was not at all impressed with the film's portrayal of that city.
