What Happens in Vegas 2008

What Happens in Vegas

Critics Consensus

What Happens in Vegas has a few laughs, but mostly settles for derivative romantic comedy conventions and receives little help from a pair of unlikable leads.

Audience Reviews for What Happens in Vegas

  • Apr 26, 2014
    Even though I knew what was going to happen, I enjoyed it.
    Red L Super Reviewer

    An exhaustive comedy, that with silly humor and immature characters, especially Jack Fuller (Ashton Kutcher) a good looking guy, but that has a childish behavior, have luck in attractive women (a very cliche kind of character) and act like a real fool with Joy (Cameron Diaz), instead trying to be more nice, no matter how wrong she is and vice versa. Dispite have good comedians like: Rob Corddry, Jason Sudeikis and Zach Galifianakis, the awful screenplay doesn't give an opportunity, to they give more funny to Tom Vaughan's movie, that it's a bad and unfunny version of The Hangover, Sour Grapes and Love Stinks. Unsurprising and a true lost of time "What Happens in Vegas" it's one of the kind of movie that make some members of audience say: "What Happen in Vegas, should being in Vegas and nobody have ever make a movie about this." Rotten.

    Cliche romantic comedy formula didn't good, only laughed at the random Asian co-worker through out the entire film, I had to keep checking my watch. No doubt, it's painful to watch, the "Couple" looked great together, but the story didn't last.

    What Happends in Vegas has its moments of laughter and fun, but not enough to make uo for its predictability and laziness. Even Ashton Kutcher and Cameron Diaz can't save a movie this cliche.
