a funny movie about the sexes that doesn't diminish either gender in its execution--a tougher task, obviously, than one would presume.

REVIEWS FOR WHAT HAPPENS IN VEGAS
What Happens in Vegas has mediocre direction and a strained screenplay, so how can it be any good? What carries the film is its two stars. If Ashton Kutcher bothers you, you'll probably hate What Happens in Vegas. If Cameron Diaz leaves you
Feb 1, 2009
Another predictable romantic comedy, one that insists that spending time locked into an unhappy marriage doesn't breed contempt, but sows love. [Blu-ray]
Aug 23, 2008
As far fetched as the idea of guy disgust as the ultimate aphrodisiac may seem, Cameron and Ashton as the designated lovebirds keep the kinky marriage shocks and surprises coming. Move over Knocked Up. A Sex And The Sin City Vegas jackpot.
Aug 22, 2008
This derivative rom-com works best when the leads are exacting revenge on each other.
Jul 19, 2008
The combined verve Diaz and Kutcher bring to the table saves a routine time-killer from being entirely forgettable.
Jun 7, 2008
I only wish they’d have spent more time drunk and in Vegas in the whole movie. Alas…
Jun 6, 2008
From seeing this movie and talking to several moviegoers, I discovered that there are two kinds of people: people who like Ashton Kutcher, and people who don't.

Should have stayed, not in Vegas, but elsewhere in the state of Nevada. How about those mountains where they are supposed to store the radioactive waste?
May 29, 2008
Both Kutcher and Diaz are in full-on desperation mode, straining in each scene to prove they can still be relevant, showing flashes of the charm that made them famous in the first place.
May 27, 2008
During the screening, I tried to come up with as many synonyms for the word "excruciating" as I could.
May 27, 2008
attempts nothing novel in its retelling of the couple who don't realize that they are perfect for each other, aside from positing an unsavory new popcorn topping
May 26, 2008
(Vegas) isn't a horrible film but it is not worth spending your money on to see in theatres.

It Happened One Drunken Night

...one of those bird-brained contrivances that would be over in no time if any of the characters had a lick of sense...
May 18, 2008
Pleasantly forgettable.
May 16, 2008
It's a sure bet you'll realize "What Happens in Vegas" is a by-the-numbers romantice comedy within the first 15 minutes.
May 16, 2008
Like many Vegas weddings, this mean-spirited "romantic comedy" only makes sense if you're drunk.

May 16, 2008
Hardly a massive gamble, Cameron Diaz and Ashton Kutcher play a safe romcom hand you can tolerate.
