What Happens in Vegas… (2008)
Ashton Kutcher works out.
Cameron Diaz works out too.
The two star in What Happens in Vegas…, a cliched comedy about getting drunk and married in Vegas, hitting a slot machine jackpot, and having to work on the marriage to earn their share of the $3 million jackpot. It had its moments. Moments of hilarity and moments of tedium.
Kutcher, of TV’s That ’70s Show and The Butterfly Effect, didn’t really show much acting prowess in this role. It’s just a more grown-up version of his character from the show. Cameron neither. She’s the same character she played in Charlie’s Angels. While she’s been in superior roles in the past (A Life Less Ordinary, Any Given Sunday), …Vegas didn’t really give her the chance to shine. It just wasn’t that kind of movie.
Dennis Farina was in here. Typecasted, but funny nonetheless. As was Michelle Krusiec, who I really liked in Saving Face. Queen Latifah had a small role as a marriage counselor, and Treat Williams played Kutcher’s dad.
As screwball comedies go, this one wasn’t bad. But it was cheesy.
most of the chick flicks i’ve seen with Ashton Kutcher have been at least halfway decent, A Lot Like Love is one example
