"You'd think the combination of Diaz, Kutcher and Vegas would be good for at least a little sexy, silly fun."

No, I would actually consider it exactly what your review described. A crappy, depressingly awful, generic romantic comedy that will be in and out of theatres very quickly.

Maybe her uglier cousin, walks about on 4 legs?

Ahh, maybe it's a typo.

...it's a wonder this didn't go straight to DVD. C'mon--can anyone really see Diaz and Kutcher having romantic chemistry? And the characters seem to genuinely hate each other, which pretty much kills any "love/hate" sparks.

death marched into an airplane propellor than Ashton Kutcher and Cameron Diaz.

woman ever decide to stay with, let alone marry, a jobless slacker? Oh yeah, the sex is supposedly better for women if they marry down the food chain. Don't believe it! That, and other myths about how successful women can't find a suitable partner, continue to be perpetuated in the movies. Thank you, Hollywood.

"while America may be headed to food and gas shortages, we do not lack for wedding-based romantic comedies"

This is exceptionally good news for Salon's designated wedding-based romantic comedy critic.

Otherwise, this review doesn't suck nearly as much as I expected it to.

seen this film and I don't intend to. I'm no snob, but it does sound truly horrific. Better things to spend my money and time on.

What I was curious about was: who wrote this garbage? Turns out it's someone named Dana Fox. Who? Googled the name and this article came up among others:

http://www.propeller.com/viewstory/2008/05/05/screenwriter-dana-fox-aims-for-the-holy-grail/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.startribune.com%2Fentertainment%2Fmovies%2F18464214.html&frame=true

Read this interview... and weep. The woman has the brains the size of a walnut - is it any wonder she writes brainless movies? (she also wrote "The Wedding Date" with Debra Messing - haven't seen that one either but it too sounds awful.)

It's very disturbing to read that in order to get guys to go see a romantic comedy with their girlfriend/wife, producers will hire a male writer to add some slap stick, fart jokes, etc. It's called "a guy's pass". It's the "targeting the males 18-34 demographic" talking again.

A very small percentage of scripts get made into movies in Hollywood. So how do films like these get the coveted "Greenlight"? Guess you have to either sleep with someone or know someone's uncle or hairdresser or just have money so you can call yourself a producer.

There are so many great stories to tell, but without good writers we will continue to see crappy unfunny comedies like "What Happens in Vegas".

And let's face the facts: it doesn't matter if the screenwriter is a woman or a man - evidenced by Dana Fox's lack of talent.

Sad.

Ashton Kutcher is very nice to look at and so is Diaz. Now I may be biased because I have a little crush on the former, and kinda wanted to see this.

But here is what killed it for me:

Another formulaic story about a loser/slacker and a high strung anxious perfectionist overworked girlfriend? The Hollywood money truck pulled up and people forgot that stimulating and unique are both crucial for a movie.

Or wait, is it whatever makes the most money by sheer dumbness... oh, I mean numbers.
