Critic Reviews

Washington Post | Stephen Hunter

An exceedingly bright comedy that never makes you feel stupid for enjoying its brisk pacing, smart lines, sound construction and superb comic acting, not only from Ashton Kutcher but from Cameron Diaz and well-chosen No. 2 bananas Rob Corddry and Lake Bell.

Entertainment Weekly | Owen Gleiberman

Kutcher, who gives his most energized performance to date, and Diaz, darting between the caustic and shrill, look as if they're warming up to groovy hate sex, not love, which may be why the film goes flat the moment it turns friendly.

ReelViews | James Berardinelli

Sadly, about the nicest thing I can say about What Happens in Vegas is that I didn't hate it - although I suppose that's something.

Los Angeles Times | Carina Chocano

Hokey and forced as it is, What Happens in Vegas eventually settles into a rhythm, maybe because Diaz and Kutcher actually look like they have fun together.

Variety | Joe Leydon

This two-seated star vehicle for top-billed Ashton Kutcher and Cameron Diaz wrings a respectable number of laughs from a formulaic scenario about attracted-opposites who bicker and back-stab their way toward happily-ever-aftering.

Complain all you want about the affable slobs in Judd Apatow comedies; at least they're not tools.

USA Today | Claudia Puig

It's a story that feels familiar at best, hackneyed at worst, which is surprising and disappointing, as director Tom Vaughan also made last year's "Starter for 10," a charming British coming-of-age comedy.

If you don't see where this is going, you've never seen a movie. Sorry it had to be this one.

The Hollywood Reporter | Kirk Honeycutt

Only Diaz shows spark because the actress knows how to simultaneously play nice and be a nasty character, thereby gaining audience sympathy. Everyone else hits one note, and it isn't nice.

Boston Globe | Wesley Morris

When it was over I felt vaguely embarrassed. I wasn't just leaving a movie theater. I was taking a walk of shame.

San Francisco Chronicle | Peter Hartlaub

Who wants to spend a minute on the Strip with the chance that there might be people as annoying as the characters played by Cameron Diaz and Ashton Kutcher walking around?

The New York Times | Manohla Dargis

Because its director, Tom Vaughan, brings nothing of interest to the movie, including filmmaking, there isn't anything to say other than to note its insulting ugliness and ineptitude.

Very cute movie!

"I went and saw this movie with a friend and we both laughed the entire time. Cameron and Ashton are both very good looking and very funny and it was very enjoyable watching them go from hating each other to falling in love. Go see it and I bet you'll laugh!"

must go see

"Cameron and Ashton have great chemistry between them! The movie made me laugh and simle You walk out with a happy feeling."

shellyedson | 05/19/2008 10:22 AM Notify

awesome!

"Don't let those bad reviews fool you from people analyzing the movie too much about story line and acting. They were a great pair and had wonderful chemistry. This movie was awesome! Ashton and Cameron are really hot in this movie. Comedic acting is their calling - Ashton in his usual sexy, dumb self and cameron was beautiful, cool, and confident. It's definitely a must see!! I left the movie theatre with a smile on my face and I might go see it again just to watch Ashton."

Would see this movie a 2nd, 3rd, and 4th time....hilarious!!

"I chose this movie for couple's night out. There were six of us going to see it and everybody was giving a difficult time for picking this movie. We were ALL laughing hysterically. It was so funny...not a single dull moment."

Funny and Cute!

"I thought it was funny, moved along well, and would buy it on dvd when it somes out. Ashton was charming and funny as always. He was especially good looking near the end, when he was dressed up. I'm not a huge fan of Cameron, but she is a unique looking actress who does well in these types of films. The ending was very funny; with her friend and his friend. Lots of laughs in the theatre I was in."

Lame

"Unfunny. Boring. Nobody in the audience laughed."

big26bar | 05/12/2008 05:40 PM Notify

So Bad it gets no stars

"There is absolutely no chemistry between Ashton Kutsher and Cameraon Diaz. Two hot people with not a shred of attraction. This film fails on every level. A shame because in spite of its incredible premise, it had the potential for real sweetness if we cared even a little bit about the couple. This one should have stayed in Vegas."
