Label: Review, Comedy, Romantic,HollywoodWhen I was going to watch this movie I expect the worst, I think this is just a typical yet predictable Hollywood comedy. What Happens in Vegas IS a typical yet predictable Hollywood comedy. However at least it's better than my expectation (Remember, I expect the worst).
Ashton Kutcher as Jack Fuller a carpenter who was fired by his own dad meet Cameron Diaz as Joy McNally who was dumped by her fiance, stumble into marriage during a drunken weekend in Las Vegas. They were supposed to do divorce peacefully but due to the $3,000,000 won by Jack with the quarter of Joy, the two must figure out a way to share it since they are still legally married.

May contain spoiler:
Like I said, this is a typical yet predictable Hollywood comedy, but it's also a funny and entertaining movie. The fight of Jack and Joy is the highlight of this movie, and it is the funniest moment in this movie. Now you can pick the most likely ending: a. One of them win the money; b. They both lose the money; c. The money no longer important, because they love each other. If you ever watch Hollywood comedy, you should know the answer. What Happens in Vegas is funny at the funny moment, and not funny at the (supposed to) romantic moment. Sometimes mariage comedies should just stick with trying to be funny. (reviewed by DL/ 2008)
