What Happens in Vegas (2008) [PG-13]-- W.I.P. Scale™ Rating: $12.75
Review-lite: What could be better than Cameron Diaz and Ashton Kutcher together in a romantic comedy? How about if the romantic comedy actually lives up to its genre and is both hopelessly romantic in a modernly entertaining way and filled with great comedy that stoops only a little bit into the realm of gross out stuff. Well, that's What Happens in Vegas, a film about two people bound together unexpectedly by a huge slot machine jackpot who ultimately must decide if their one night of Las Vegas bliss will transport them toward a life of love, laughter, and bliss. With less predictability and more heart, this film written by Dana Fox and directed by Tom Vaughan roars past its contrived cousins of the past few years delivering a fresh, funny, and adorable film.
