What Happens in Vegas (2008)
Given that I don’t normally like Cameron Diaz and I can never stand Ashton Kutcher, I’m not the target audience for the romantic comedy What Happens in Vegas. I watched it for Queen Latifah, but she doesn’t have so big of a part that I could block out the rest of the film.
Cameron and Ashton meet in Las Vegas and after a drunken night of debauchery, they wake up wearing wedding rings. Of course, they immediately want a divorce, but the judge won’t grant one. Judge Dennis Miller is a romantic at heart (or just wants to teach them a lesson) and insists they go to couples’ counseling and live together for six months before refiling suit. That’s where Queen Latifah comes in; she’s the marriage counselor.
Even with a supporting cast of Krysten Ritter, Jason Sudeikis, Lake Bell, Rob Corddry, Zach Galifianakis, and Treat Williams, I didn’t enjoy this movie. It’s just another light piece of fluff, and it won’t harm you if you want to rent it, but it’s a good idea to root for the leads. I just can’t bring myself to ever root for Ashton Kutcher. Just look at the promotional poster, for goodness sake – why is he pointing?
