What Happens In Vegas (2008) 8/10

Starring : Cameron Diaz, Ashton Kutcher, Rob Corddry, Lake Bell
Director : Tom Vaughan
Running Time : 95 mins

Joy McNally (Diaz) and Jack Fuller (Kutcher) meet in Las Vegas, get very drunk and wake up to find that they’ve got married. Not wanting to stay married to complete strangers, the two decide to immediately get a divorce as soon as they get home, until Jack wins $3 million dollars, and the two start fighting over the money, whilst a pissed-off judge gives them a decision to either attend marriage counselling or lose the money.

This was actually a very enjoyable movie, although it did feel one sided in favour of Diaz over Kutcher. The bitter petty squabbles soon escalate out of control and make for both an entertaining and frustrating movie which does sometimes make you want to slap the main actors, but also has you sympathising with them at points.
