Critics 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.

3/5

The combined verve Diaz and Kutcher bring to the table saves a routine time-killer from being entirely forgettable.

What happens in this seriously flawed would-be romantic comedy is Nothing Much.

The screenplay is awful, the direction is bland and the performances are beyond redemption.

1.5/5

A dreary combination of The Break-Up and I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry, all the best bits of this film can be seen in its trailer.

What happens in Vegas? The same stuff you've seen in every B-grade romantic comedy for the last 50 years.

It has the potential for a clever idea with the money and all like a Billy Wilder type comedy but it falls victim to unfunny gags and when it does try to be serious it just becomes cliche and does all the tropes you'd expect. The editing and pacing aren't good. The opening just bounces aorund very sloppy between the two and once they get married stuff just happens and 90% is flat or unfunny. Than once it starts being serious and actual development happens it's just standard stuff, very predictable, and nothing done particulary good. The second half is strongerbut only because it gets more focused and the bar is pretty low. Everything else is ok at best. The two leads got some decent chemistry but are weighed down by the unfunny material and basic direction. It's a pretty typical 00's romcom for better or for worse. Diaz is defintely the stronger of the two for sure. Ferina's not bad and probably the best thing acting wise for what it's worth. But still skip it.
