 3/4 |
a funny movie about the sexes that doesn't diminish either gender in its execution--a tougher task, obviously, than one would presume. Full Review |

|
2.5/5 |
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 Full Review |

 1.5/4 |
Another predictable romantic comedy, one that insists that spending time locked into an unhappy marriage doesn't breed contempt, but sows love. [Blu-ray] Full Review |
||
|
|
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. Full Review |

B- |
This derivative rom-com works best when the leads are exacting revenge on each other. Full Review |
||
|
3/5 |
The combined verve Diaz and Kutcher bring to the table saves a routine time-killer from being entirely forgettable. Full Review |

|
4/10 |
I only wish they’d have spent more time drunk and in Vegas in the whole movie. Alas… Full Review |
||
|
1.5/5 |
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. Full Review |

|
0.5/4 |
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? Full Review |
||
|
2.5/4 |
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. Full Review |
||
|
1/5 |
During the screening, I tried to come up with as many synonyms for the word "excruciating" as I could. Full Review |
||
|
2/5 |
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 Full Review |
||
|
3/5 |
(Vegas) isn't a horrible film but it is not worth spending your money on to see in theatres. Full Review |

It Happened One Drunken Night Full Review |

2/5 |
...one of those bird-brained contrivances that would be over in no time if any of the characters had a lick of sense... Full Review |
||
|
6/10 |
Pleasantly forgettable. Full Review |
||
|
2/4 |
It's a sure bet you'll realize "What Happens in Vegas" is a by-the-numbers romantice comedy within the first 15 minutes. Full Review |
||
|
1/4 |
Like many Vegas weddings, this mean-spirited "romantic comedy" only makes sense if you're drunk. Full Review |

Hardly a massive gamble, Cameron Diaz and Ashton Kutcher play a safe romcom hand you can tolerate. Full Review |
