Reviews
The 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.
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.

What happens in this seriously flawed would-be romantic comedy is Nothing Much.
It's less obnoxious than Fool's Gold, less forced than Made of Honor and less formulaic (well, by a sliver, anyway) than 27 Dresses.
Should have stayed elsewhere in the state of Nevada. How about those mountains where they are supposed to store the nuclear waste?
Ultimately, What Happens in Vegas resembles a drunken night in Sin City; when it's over, you don't really remember what happened except that it wasn't good.
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.
isn't the end-all, be-all of comedies this year but it's got some good laughs.
Two fresh stars elevate the material into solid entertainment
The screenplay is awful, the direction is bland and the performances are beyond redemption.
The formula is too contrived and the chemistry not enough for any genuine sparks to fly
Kutcher has talent and potential. It has been his misfortune to attach his star to people who aren't up to the quality of his talent. He has time to correct this, but the clock is ticking.
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
