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.
Theatrical Release:09-05-2008
Synopsis: Cameron Diaz and Ashton Kutcher star as strangers who wake up a married couple after a crazy night in Las Vegas in director Tom Vaughn's (STARTER FOR 10) feature film. Joy (Diaz) is the type of... [More]

Reviews for What Happens in Vegas
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
a funny movie about the sexes that doesn't diminish either gender in its execution--a tougher task, obviously, than one would presume.
07/12/09
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
02/01/09
Another predictable romantic comedy, one that insists that spending time locked into an unhappy marriage doesn't breed contempt, but sows love. [Blu-ray]
08/23/08
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.
08/22/08
This derivative rom-com works best when the leads are exacting revenge on each other.
07/19/08
The combined verve Diaz and Kutcher bring to the table saves a routine time-killer from being entirely forgettable.
06/07/08
I only wish they’d have spent more time drunk and in Vegas in the whole movie. Alas…
06/06/08
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.
06/04/08
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?
05/29/08
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.
05/27/08
During the screening, I tried to come up with as many synonyms for the word "excruciating" as I could.
05/27/08
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
05/26/08
(Vegas) isn't a horrible film but it is not worth spending your money on to see in theatres.

It Happened One Drunken Night
05/21/08
...one of those bird-brained contrivances that would be over in no time if any of the characters had a lick of sense...
05/18/08
Pleasantly forgettable.
05/16/08
It's a sure bet you'll realize "What Happens in Vegas" is a by-the-numbers romantice comedy within the first 15 minutes.
