What to Know

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.

alan g Two of the worst actors in Hokeywood teamed together. Neither can act, has any charm, or talent. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/23/24 Full Review Rich S The category in "Final Jeopardy!" is Box Office Bombs and the question is "how do you make Cameron Diaz as unlikeable as possible?" The answer is: you pair her with the king of douchebags, Ashton Kutcher. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 09/10/24 Full Review Face R One of my favourite rom-coms of all time. Definitely doesn't deserve the hate it gets. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/22/24 Full Review Laura L A 5-star romantic comedy! Joy McNally (Cameron Diaz) and Jack Fuller Jr. (Ashton Kutcher) meet in Vegas where they accidentally married. And because he got a USD 3,000,000 jackpot with her quarter, the judge decided that they must give a 6-month trial to their marriage before divorcing and deciding who gets the money. What follows is a comedy with games and traps, which they settle for each other to get the divorce and to keep the entire sum of money. It's a journey in which they learn about each other and themselves. Still, they get a divorce. But then... I let you discover what happens next. Don't miss a great laugh! Enjoy the movie! P.S. Those of you, who gave 1-star to this comedy (and to other movies), would you PLEASE TRY to be a little bit more ENCOURAGING with people watching movies and, in this case, have a great laugh, rather than discourage them from enjoying some quality time. THANK YOU! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/24/24 Full Review CHUD S A perfect movie to put on for a date to not watch so you can do other things. Easy ice-breaker any night; "Hey what do you want to do tonight?" ; ; " Wanna watch What happens in Vegas? " WINK WINK Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/09/24 Full Review erika l somewhat normal romcom, not amazing but i did enjoy it. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/06/24 Full Review Read all reviews
