Movie Review: What Happens in Vegas
It's laundry night... time for another movie. This time it was What Happens in Vegas, a movie about a couple of polar opposite personalities (Ashton Kutchner and Cameron Diaz), that mistakenly get married (in Vegas), win a $3 millon jackpot, are are then forced to live with each other (rather than get divorced) using one of the lamest plot devices I've seen in a long time. Instead of making the best of a bad situation, the two relentlessly antagonize each other, finally split apart, and then (of course) figure out they are soulmates. The fact that Diaz is starring in this movie made me think that the movie is very similar (in plot) to Shrek I guess, in that they are both movies about two primary characters that despise each other but eventually end up living happily ever after. However, Shrek is infinitely more clever.
The movie is not completely stupid (and does have a few laughs), but
this isn't material that doesn't rise above TV sitcom type of stuff...
e.g. it is forgettable. I'm sure I'll not be able to remember most of
the movie by this time next week.
