MY REVIEW
What Happens in Vegas is just the same old same old romantic comedy that we've seen a hundred times before. The only thing that seperates these movies from one another is the setting and the physical storyline, but they all follow the same predictable formula. I tried watching this movie to see if anything would stand out from the rest, but really I couldn't discover anything unique. You know how this movie is going end, and this exactly the way it ends. I would love to appreciate one of these romantic comedies above all the rest, but I just can't because theres never anything different between them. That's probably why this type of movie, no matter who you cast in them, don't make any money anymore. Even girls are flocking to see them. This breed of film is a dying one.
Ashton Kutcher (TV's That 70's Show) is getting old and growing tiresome for me. He isn't funny, and most of the time he just tries way to hard to get a laugh. Cameron Diaz (Being John Malkovich, The Mask) has been nominated for two SAG awards in her day, so she has proven she can act. But here sadly, she just falls back to her roots of cheap and gimmicky romantic garbage. The only part of the movie I found relatively funny, was Lake Bell (TV's Boston Legal, Over Her Dead Body) which was unexpected. The only time I really laughed in this movie was when she uttered a few genuine funny lines.
Don't take my complete word for it though, I've always been against these types of movies. I still watch them, for your sake, but usually I won't like them. Nothing different here.
*This is the 106th new film I've seen and reviewed this year.
*This film is now on DVD.
