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

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

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.

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

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

Diaz and Kutcher restore the original, ebullient meaning of 'sex comedy'. They're fun to watch, which is a rare thing in this Zellweger, Clooney, Kidman, Gosling, Apatow world.

This film is not the equivalent of brain surgery, but it is entertaining.

If you can ignore some rather silly moments and focus on the credible relationship between Jack and Joy, this will be reasonably entertaining.

I can't recommend it as a must-see date night getaway, neither will I discourage audiences looking for a little bit of mindless rom-com fun. And given the likable nature of the film's two stars, this trip to "Vegas" coasts by on just enough charm to make

Lucky for viewers, it's easy to laugh while watching this romantic comedy, mostly because of the comic skills Kutcher and Diaz bring to their performances.

Seacoast Newspapers (NH/Maine)

Wants to be liked so badly it's afraid to do anything that might actually make you respect it in the morning. In that sense, it works. It's a 99-minute PG-13 airplane movie good for a few chuckles and another notch on Rob Corddry's widening comedy belt.

Great counter-programming to Speed Racer and will probably ensure work for Ashton Kutcher until TV Land tries to launch a That 70s Show reunion special.

What Happens in Vegas contains enough unbridled silliness to salvage its lowbrow high concept.

Here's a romantic comedy that is goofy, highly implausible, sometimes over the top, often in bad taste, and resolutely empty-headed. In short, it's the best example of its genre to appear on the screen this year.

By being a smidge smarter than the average date movie, it makes the first-time meeting, the battle of the sexes and the bumpy course of true love entertaining despite overfamiliarity.

Though likely not a film you'll remember a month after seeing it, it does hit most of the right notes for a good date flick.
