What Happens In Vegas (DVD)

...It's actually quite hilarious. Here's what the basic plot is about? See if you can guess the ending. ===The Plot=== Joy McNally (Cameron Diaz) is a stock broker who has just been dumped by her fiancée, Mason. She decides to take her best friend on the honeymoon to Vegas instead. Jack Fuller (Ashton Kutcher) is a furniture maker, who gets fired… by his own father. With nothing going for him, his best friend drags him to Vegas. Now in Vegas the foursome ...
...is Silence Of the Lambs, What Happens in Vegas isn't for you. Same goes for the likes of Face/Off or anything that involves violence or action or anything like that. If you're a 10 Things I Hate About You or Coyote Ugly fan, you'll love this film. It's actually, dare I say it, funnier than 10 Things I Hate About You. It's got a pretty awful plot, which I swear was taken from Just Married and season 6 of Friends in some way, but the laughs between ...

Review of What Happens In Vegas (DVD)

what happens in vegas This film will not be a great film, that would entice me to watch in a year or two time and laugh my head off. This movie has the show references of 'friends' and perhaps other movies that are unknown to me. what happens in las vegas? Obvious answer in that people get drunk, they get married, and they gamble. You knew that already. Interestingly enough the film does not revolve around vegas all that much, most of the show setting ...

This is where jack meets cameron diaz joy who is a commodities trader on a trading market similar to the nasdaq exchange. joy who is equally frustrated and ...

Review of What Happens In Vegas (DVD)

...we get an overview of what a wonderful city New York is. "I could be brown, I could be blue, I could be violet sky," and with that you wonder how they'll manage to make Diaz and Kutcher bump into one another -- afterall they are both leading incredibly different lives. Joy McNally (Diaz) is a stockbroker engaged to a grumpy businessman who has $30,000 to splash out on rings when he doesn't even really intend to marry Joy, and this comes as a shock ...
...usually more to them than what were shown in promotions. These include an all out party in the Fuller's martial apartment where Joy has got her friends to try and get Jack to cheat on her, so then Joy would be entitled to the entire $3 million. Queen Latifah makes a good appearance as the marriage councillor, Dr Twitchell, and the movie is genuinely funny. There is also positive messages to the movie (in a sense) where Joy meets Jack's parents, and ...

Review of What Happens In Vegas (DVD)

...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 ...
...the cameras and that's exactly what he does as Jack. He's slobbish and scruffy, but really can't act so there's no depth to his performance. He also suffers from dodgy timing, so isn't very funny and has no chemistry with Cameron Diaz, making a mockery of their relationship. The supporting cast seems to be an exercise in miscasting. Rob Corddry plays too straight as jack's best friend and lawyer Hater, making the character come across as a real ...

Review of What Happens In Vegas (DVD)

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 then ...
...need an escape and so what better place to go than Vegas!! Now I am a big fan of Vegas and for me there was not enough of it shown in this movie. I think to emphasis the basis of this movie they needed to show more of it and more of the night that these two characters had together. Basically they meet in Vegas and get drunk. Their night is shown from a series of little flashbacks which were funny, (dancing on tables, falling over etc) but I would ...

...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 ...
...and I have to wonder what she would be like in a serious role or as the evil one. Ashton Kutcher also plays his role quite well, I haven’t seen him in anything else so I cant really comment, but apparently he was really good in Just Married. They are supported by Lake Bell and Rob Corddy, the best friends. Queen Latifah also makes an appearance as the therapist who’s trying to get them to make their marriage work. Also, although there wasn’t actually ...

...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 ...
...her wonderfully. Now, I know what you're saying, and that is about the fact that I said that I couldn't imagine Ashton to play someone totally opposite. But surely you can agree with me on Cameron Diaz and say she definitely can play who the hell she wants as she would just make that character. And if you don't agree with me, think about her being Natalie in Charlie's Angels, and then think to the film "The Holiday", or even "There's Something About ...

...one upmanship and trickery! What Happens in Vegas is an amiable and silly romantic comedy that suffers from a damp script (based on a fairly ridiculous premise), a constant mean spiritedness and limp direction - but is helped by a fun cast, a nice pace and a surprisingly emotional/romantic finale. It's all stupid stuff and the feud between Joy and Jack grows old really fast, but there are some chuckles to be had and the romantic tension between ...
...whole lot more. What Happens In Vegas is actually quite funny in short bursts, the physical comedy is crude but well done, Cameron Diaz is the loose-limbed life and soul and the secondary cast (especially the talented Lake Bell) are hilarious. There are some really fun scenes towards the start of the movie and one sequences, which involved Joy on speed, is extremely well done - but after a while the antics get more and more elaborate and more and ...

...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 with the help ...
...absurd upon us - therefore, what we have here is a movie that is actually fun to watch. Ashton Kutcher, not may favourite actor (putting it nicely), managed a believable performance while abstaining from the ridiculous, while as Cameron Diaz, as usual, came across as somewhat ditsy but thoroughly loveable. True, there are a few scenes that grate on the nerves, a touch of nastiness that is far from funny and is somewhat of a turn-off, but a bit of ...

...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 Jack ...
...about this film is that it doesn't pretend to be clever or something that it is not. It is just a funny hour and a half, with lots of great one liners. I don't usually like Cameron Diaz very much, but she was very funny and portrayed an uptight regimented person really well. She was perfect for this role and I can't imagine anyone else who could have acted this role as good. I enjoyed watching Ashton Kutcher in Cheaper By The Dozen also and think ...

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 a ...

== WHAT HAPPENS IN VEGAS == === A FILM ONLY REVIEW === I know that they are very predictable. But I do love a good romantic comedy. As I generally enjoy films Ashton Kutcher and Cameron Diaz so I was quite enthusiastic about watching ‘What Happens in Vegas’. Wall Street workaholic Joy McNally (played by Cameron Diaz) was a successful woman who loved to plan, she planned everything, she planned what she was going to plan. One of the things that ...

Elsewhere, Jack Fuller (played by Ashton Kutcher) , whose refusal to finish anything has just got him sacked from his father's company, by his father himself. Joy and Jack each get a talking to from their friends Hater, (Rob Corddry) and Tipper (Lake Bell). This talk ...

...at their relationship ? Watch What Happens In Vegas to find out! The minute I saw this film advertised I had a feeling it was something I was going to enjoy watching. I wasn't disappointed either! There are certainly a lot of laughs to be had! I simply , laughed from beginning to end. This movie definately isn't real-to-life , but I found it a pleasure to watch whilst 'escaping to another world' after a hard day at work! The whole 'Las Vegas thing' ...

Joy McNally (Cameron Diaz) has just been dumped by her fiancé, and Jack Fuller (Ashton Kutcher) has just been fired from his carpentry job at his fathers (Treat Williams) business. Joy for a gift to her fiancé bought two tickets to Vegas, which her best friend Tipper (Lake Bell) convinces her to use. Jack is led to Vegas by his best friend Steve (Rob Corrdry), who suggests that ...
...here's a chance to see what you should do. The film is a joy to watch, with a lot of entertaining scenes which will have you laughing, and with great performances from both Kutcher and Diaz, it is a winner. Something to watch, at least once. It is a romantic comedy so the story line is predictable, but the humour makes up for the lack of story line.

It turns out that this is one of the most spectacular films I've seen this year! The characters were so clear, each with their own strong background and story. Of course, they were fantasically played by the superb cast too. The plot of this story was quite unique in terms of other films, however I did feel that it slightly ...
