What Happens In Vegas is a romantic comedy starring two huge Hollywood stars in the form of Cameron Diaz & Asthon Kutcher.

What Happens In Vegas is rated 12 & has a running ... ...so I was disappointed with What Happens In Vegas as I do tend to like her films. Ashton Kutcher isn?t as well known as his female co-star & is more famous in America than in the UK. He?s famous for presenting the MTV show Punk?d where he sets up celebrities. He?s also famous for being Demi Moore?s toy boy! He?s starred in small & somewhat successful films like; Dude Where?s My Car, Guess Who & A lot Like Love. What Happens In Vegas is the story of ...

I love Ashton Kutcher and Cameron Diaz, and so when I saw this film advertised I was really excited about it. I loved the film Just Married, which had Kutcher in alongside Brittany Murphey, and from the trailers it looked very similar. The film is about a woman called Joy and a man called Jack they've never met but maybe fate wanted to intervene; Joy is engaged to her long term boyfriend, but when she throws a surprise birthday party for him, he ... ...his father making wooden furniture, but when his father sacks him for his lack of work, he too is left with no job, and ultimately no money. Joy and Jack both end up in Vegas at the same time, due to their best friends talking them into a trip to cheer them up, but problems start straught away when the two men are given the same room as the two women by accident and they end up walking in on each other. Once that is sorted, after much arguing and ...

Advantages: Comedy Disadvantages: The dvd extras are almost non-existant.
he saying goes 'What Happens In Vegas, Stays In Vegas'. The two main characters in this movie, Jack (played by Ashton Kutcher) and Joy (Cameron Diaz) wish this was true. After being dumped by her fiancee infront of all of her friends and family, Joy is convinced by her best friend that she needs an escape from her life while she gets her life back on track. In the meantime, Jack has been fired by his own father from his job in a furniture making ... ...he realises that he also needs some time away to straighten himself out. The two groups are on a collision course which sets up a series of events which culminate in Joy and Jack becoming married. Jack then wins three million dollars whilst betting with Joys money. I don't want to ruin the rest of the film but its a cleverly written and heartwarming comedy. Most people would be able to predict the ending within the first ten minutes but its well ...

Review of What Happens In Vegas (DVD)
Advantages: funny, greatcast, good storyline Disadvantages: none
What happens in vegas released in 2008 is a romantic comedy thats more funny then lovey dovey which is just the way it should be. The film offers a good storyline but the thing that stands out most in the film is the cast and more then anything the relationship between the two main characters. The two main characters are played by Ashton Kutcher and Cameron Diaz and these two have great on screen chemistry. The two play in the film characters called ... ...Basic Outline of the story

Film - What happens in Vegas
Stars - Cameron Diaz, Ashton Kutcher
Whats it about - Joy (Diaz) has just been dumped rather publicly by her fiancé. Having bought him tickets to Vegas for his birthday, her friend suggests that they use them in a bid to help Joy get over the break up. Meanwhile Jack (Kutcher) is happy-go-lucky bloke who gets fired by his own dad, and decides to make himself better by, you guessed it……..going to Vegas with his best ... ...the best they could with what they were given, however it didn't cover up a really weak script and lack of imagination. The characters were all one dimensional (I can barely even remember either of the best friends) and it was all a bit boring to me by the end. There are much better comedies out there so wouldn't bother with this one unless you happen to be a huge Cameron Diaz or Ashton Kutcher fan.
There isn't really much else to say about this ...

Went to see this at the cinema 2 nights back and could not wait to write a review. This is another brilliant Romantic comedy of the year starring Ashton Kutcher and Cameron Diaz,, Its about two people who wake up from a drunken night in Vegas to only discover they have gotten married.
They both meet up in the casino and agree that it was a mistake and they should get a divorce asap but when Ashton Kutcher wins the jackpot winning three million dollars ... ...eventually they end up in court for a divorce hearing but the judge is sick of people getting married in Vegas and sentences them to 6months marriage and freezes the cheque.
But along the way the pair fall in love and after the divorce end up remarrying its a very good film full of laughs and recommend any one to go to cinema to watch or just wait for the dvd ...

Advantages: very funny, good acting Disadvantages: quite predictable
Although criticised for being predictable, I thought this film was really quite enjoyable, Ashton Kutcher who plays Jack meets Joy (Diaz) and then after a night out in Las Vegas (and Afew too many!) The couple end up married and $3million richer. Unable to get a divorce straight away the pair have to battle through with their marriage for a few weeks to see who keeps the money. Jack's care-free attitude contrasting with Joy's organised character ... ...opposite eachother and both look good on camera. My favourite part about this film has to be the hilarious relationship between Jack's best friend Hater and Joy's best friend, the two do not get on at all and some of the antics they get up to in order to annoy eachother had me laughing out loud. This film exceeded my expectations and managed to bring out both the romantic and comical side brilliantly, with a moving ending and amusing moments throughout. ...
