What Happens In Vegas (DVD) > Reviews

Advantages: It's relatively short.
Disadvantages: Misjudged writing, sloppy direction, phoned-in performances.

...ninety-nine minute running time and what there is feels laboured. The character comedy doesn't work because the parts are under-written, the slapstick is unoriginal and the situation comedy forced. There's also a little matter of timing, as in Vaughan doesn't have any. He allows jokes to run on too long so they cease to be funny and pre-empts them too much so they go off like damp squibs when they eventually arrive. Casting is also a problem as the ... Read review

Advantages: Cameron Diaz is cute, funny Vegas scenes
Disadvantages: Predictible and boring

What Happens in Vegas....probably should have stayed in Vegas!! For anyone who has been to Vegas or knows about it, then you are probably familiar with the well know saying, "What Happnes in Vegas, stays in Vegas". It is uttered by the millions of people of a certain age who hope that the things they get up to in Sin City (drinking, one night stands to name but a few) are not to be repeated to people back home. Given the nature of this phrase ... Read review

Advantages: Cameron Diaz, comedy
Disadvantages: Not for everyone

...some friends. After looking through what was on that day, we went for What Happens In Vegas, because it sounded like my type of film. It was a good choice. I went in expecting to really like the film; Cameron Diaz is one of my favourite actresses, the trailer had made it look really entertaining and funny and people who ha seen it before us had thought it really great. The Storyline. Joy McNally, played by Cameron Diaz, is a workaholic perfectionist ... Read review

Advantages: Cameron Diaz, hilarious comedy!
Disadvantages: none, okay maybe the certification

...Now if I complied to what I've just said about my thoughts on him in this film, then he would automatically become one of my favourite actors, however I cannot imagine him playing someone who is quite the opposite such as a geek or a nerd, he just would blatantly refused to do such a thing. However he might or might not grow on me, but I very much doubt that he'll be one of my favourites, it could happen but I very much doubt it Cameron Diaz plays ... Read review

Advantages: Fun, Good Cast, Nice Romance
Disadvantages: Silly, Shallow, Nothing New

...to raise a laugh. Luckily, What Happens In Vegas does have a few off-the-wall moments that feel more free and improvised and these feel a lot fresher and funnier. The main problem with What Happens in Vegas is its script; it doesn't know what it wants to be - a mean screwball comedy or a mushy lovey dovey one, and the mix doesn't work. The two elements cancel each other out and the shallow character development makes it hard to connect with anyone ... Read review

Advantages: Funny, entertaining, good for a Saturday night.

...the knot. The next day, realising what they've done, Joy and Jack get into an argument, Joy takes out a coin, Jack sticks it in a slot machine, and presto… Jack hits the mother-load! Unfortunately for him, the coin belonged to Joy, and she wants the cash. Taking their case to court, Joy and Jack plead their case in front of a not-so-understanding judge who decides to make an example of them - the verdict? They've got six months to work it out ...

Advantages: Feel good movie - fast moving quips -
Disadvantages: Totally predictable.

...their characters and of course what happens to the money in the end. Opinion This film got off to a promising start for me because one of the main characters is called Jack. I love characters called Jack. Jack Bauer, Captain Jack (pirate), Captain Jack (Dr Who), Jack T Colton (prizes for which film he was in!!), I think that you get the picture. The film got off to a fast start, with Joy being dumped (in a very embarrassing manner) and ... Read review

Advantages: good fun story, great acting, some good funny moments
Disadvantages: None from me and hubby

I had wanted to see this film for quite some time now so when I was able to get the DVD for a bargain price I snapped it up. I have read a few bad reviews on it but I still wanted to make my own mind up about it. At the start of the film we meet Joy who is a very efficient business woman and has to have a plan for everything. Also we meet Jack who has just been sacked from his fathers business and is the complete opposite of Joy and loves being ... Read review
