What Happens in Vegas

by SDTC Intern Whitney

Director: Tom Vaughan

Actors: Cameron Diaz, Ashton Kutcher, Queen Latifah

In a Nutshell: A newly unemployed Jack, (Ashton Kutcher), and a broken hearted Joy, (Cameron Diaz), share a crazy drunken night in Vegas, and wake up married. The morning after, they agree to immediately split and get an annulment. But when Joys quarter hits the $3 million jackpot on the slot machine Jack was playing, things get complicated. When brought into court, they are sentenced 6 months of marriage counseling, and until they can resolve their issues they arn't allowed to be divorced and their new fortune is frozen. The two move into Jack's apartment and grudgingly try to coexists. Joys corporate go-getting focus clashes with Jack's sloppy house-keeping and his lazy ass days at home playing video games. As a result, their therapy sessions with Dr. Twitchell (Queen Latifah) are out of control and are far from ruling in their favour. Over the six months the couple struggle with marital issues, fight dirty to try and win the money and in the end they fall in loveeeee.
Three Words to Describe: Flirty, predictable but cute.

Annoying Qualities: A little too same ol', same ol'.

This Film Made Me Feel: Although possibly with catastrophic results, this film did make me want to jump to Expedia.com and book a flight to the city of Sin, get wasted, tie the knot with Elvis impersonator preaching the vows and then wake up in a shit box motel lying naked next to strange cowboy from Tennessee. Even just for the story ;)

Verdict: I did enjoy this movie - and left the theatre with a goofy smile and the desire to find someone to love! (How lame am I?)
I'd label it a chick flick simply because of the plot - however, it has some funny moments that your metro sexual cuddle friend may dig.

Go See this Film with: some girlfriends who also appriciate Ashton Kutchers sexiness. Grrr. (will Demi Moore ever age!!)
