Film Freak Central

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

Fayetteville Free Weekly

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

Groucho Reviews

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

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.

Spectrum (St. George, Utah)

This derivative rom-com works best when the leads are exacting revenge on each other.

The Age (Australia)

The combined verve Diaz and Kutcher bring to the table saves a routine time-killer from being entirely forgettable.

I only wish they'd have spent more time drunk and in Vegas in the whole movie. Alas...

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?

Phil Villarreal
Arizona Daily Star

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.

During the screening, I tried to come up with as many synonyms for the word "excruciating" as I could.

Killer Movie Reviews

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

(Vegas) isn't a horrible film but it is not worth spending your money on to see in theatres.

It's a sure bet you'll realize "What Happens in Vegas" is a by-the-numbers romantice comedy within the first 15 minutes.

Like many Vegas weddings, this mean-spirited "romantic comedy" only makes sense if you're drunk.

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