Good story, shame about the actors!

A Customer from SW London, 22nd May, 2008

I rather enjoyed this rather predictable rom com, but the acting was contrived and a few things didn't make alot of sense (Dias gives Kutcher a coin and tells him to email her??? And then .... He slots it in the slot machine and wins the big jackpot: as far as I know, being to Vegas a few times, I have yet to see a casino that would pay out big bucks like 3 mil with just one coin played)Anyway, the people who made the movie obviously couldn't be bothered with the glaringly obvious,smaller details that would have made the story more believable. But what was the hardest to believe was Dias and Kutcher's non existent, total lack of on screen chemistry. Dias is looking decidedly more pumped up in this film (I remember she used to have a really lovely, toned feminine body), and her rather masculine looking body, made me cringe when she turned up on screen with just her lacies on. I think she's just been over exposed playing the same ole dull quirky girl role (but hey at least the audience knows what to expect when they go and see a film with her in it). Kutcher was just slightly better, he actually managed to get the bad, bad boy gone good and serious in the end. Overall, I think the main actors were badly cast. I remember thinking how great Dias female brunette sidekick (Tipper?) would have been in the role. Compared to tired ole Cameron, she's a breath of fresh air! She's very pretty and interesting looking, totally great, and vibrant on screen with a slamming, hot body!Really everything a leading lady in a rom com should be these days. (talent not a requirement.Not these days anyway).

cheeky and lighthearted comedy romance

Picktokyo from from London, England, 11th June, 2008

It is all about impossible incidents. Started from Ashton and Diaz being in the same room in a 5 star hotel in Vegas, getting married overnight (and drunk), and getting a 3 million jackpot from a single damn coin. Then begins the comedy about claiming over the 3 million bucks. Aside from the bizarre incidents, this movie offers a heartwarming and entertaining comedy - not the typical your American Pie. Aside from that, Cameron Diaz really looks at her top in this movie,, with the smokin' hot body that would make any guy drool on their pop-corns! (girls, do be warned)

What Happens In Vegas....

SimonS from from Sheffield, 9th May, 2008

Ashton and Cameron both head to Vegas to let their hair down for a weekend and end up getting very drunk and married! I won't give any more spoilers in this review.....but It's definitely worth a watch. There are lots of hilarious comedy moments in this film. Yes, all the romance side of the story is predictable and cheesy, yes all the characters are the usual romantic comedy cardboard cut outs but Ashton and Cameron actually bring a great breath of fresh air to the screen - their personalities are infectious and they actually have chemistry...... I won't be surprised if they are teamed up again very soon. There were so many funny scenes in this movie too. I enjoyed every minute. Ashton and Cameron both look absolutely fantastic and are likeable in every scene. Go see!

Funny film

TinaO from , 5th March, 2010

Quite a funny film. Cameron Diaz is her usual goofy self (and gorgeous with it as always). A humorous concept, getting married on a whim and in Vegas, and it works.

Good rom-com for the under 25s

PablitoSalsaKing from , 2nd March, 2010

If you want an enjoyable rom-com, where you don't have to think too much, and you're under 25.....then this one's for you. Cameron Diaz does what she does best - looking good and showing off her great figure. Ashton Kutcher gets his top off for the ladies as well, so everyone's happy!
