...has nothing to recommend it but the sight of Ashton Kutcher in a pink boa wearing a yard long glass in a cocktail sling...This one shouldclearly have stayed in Vegas.

Reviews for What Happens in Vegas
Despite the presence of some likable, funny people, it's a painfully unfunny romantic comedy that makes you dislike those same people intensely.
05/08/08
The film gives a transparent spin to the saying that whatever happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, but Diaz and Kutcher bring a surprising sweetness to their generic roles and the story's contrived situations.
05/08/08
What Happens In Vegas is about as silly and pleasant as it needs to be, no more, no less.
05/08/08
I am so tired of these miserable things that pass for romantic comedies these days, thoughtless assembly-line products that recycle the same components in ever-dumber packaging over and over again.
05/08/08
What Happens in Vegas, one of those junky time-wasters that routinely pop up in movie theaters, won’t make you laugh much or at all.
05/08/08
Complain all you want about the affable slobs in Judd Apatow comedies; at least they're not tools.
05/08/08
The overall sour tone and worn-out feel of the movie overwhelm any positive aspects.
05/08/08
So many things, small and large, erode any sense of fun here. The movie looks like crud -- like it, too, stayed up and drank all night.
05/08/08
Top CriticThough a notch above Made of Honor on the tolerability scale, Vegas takes a shot at love with all the romantic know-how of Tila Tequila.
05/08/08
The stars, despite having only a fraction of the charm and talent of classic sparring-but-meant-for-each-other duos, know how to mug for the camera and well up on cue, and somehow that turns out to be enough to carry this trifle.
05/08/08
You can take what happens in Vegas, keep it in Vegas, and keep the rest of the us out of it.
05/08/08
What Happens in Vegas . . . should have stayed in Vegas. Or in New York, where most of this predictable, uninspired film takes place. Or in Hollywood, where such lamebrained ideas are hatched.
05/08/08
What Happens in Vegas is evidence that putting two attractive stars together onscreen is not enough to make a good, or even passable, 90 minutes of entertainment.
05/08/08
Ashton Kutcher has his first real hit movie -- even with the predictable ending.
05/08/08
While watching insipid romantic comedies, I often cling to the comic supporting characters as my life preserver.
05/08/08
Full-contact marital warfare connects with every body part save the funny bone.
05/08/08
Top CriticThe plot is both feeble and ridiculous, but this still delivers more than its fair share of laughs, thanks to terrific comic performances from Kutcher, Diaz and supporting players Rob Corddry and Lake Bell.
05/08/08
With a script that only barely hangs together by the skin of its teeth, this romantic comedy survives on the considerable charm of its terrific cast.
05/08/08
While Diaz and Kutcher work through their stock repertoire of winsomeness, the second bananas steal the show.
