What Happens in Vegas

So, I hadn't wanted to see this because Cameron Diaz kind of bugs me (something about her nose ...). But I picked it up yesterday anyway, thinking it might be mildly funny and needing a laugh. Plus, Ashton Kutcher is cute ... so ...

Summary: Joy got dumped and her BFF convinced her to go to Vegas. Jack got fired and he convinced his BFF to go to Vegas. They're both from NYC, and live completely different lifestyles. They meet, they get really, really drunk, and end up married. As they are breaking up, he plays a slot on her quarter at her machine and wins 3 million dollars. She claims it's hers and they end up in court, where the judge freezes the money and sentences them to 6 months "hard marriage," including couples therapy (thank you Queen Latifah!). Of course, being a chick flick, you know how the story ends ... but ... It was *hilarious*. Hubby heard me laughing in the bedroom and came to investigate ... and watched most of the rest of it with me. Score, a semi chick flick without anyone DYING, which hubby liked too? WOOOOOOOOOOO!

So there ya go. Two thumbs up. Of course, if you have a problem with Ashton Kutcher having his shirt off or Cameron Diaz in a bra and panties (and her girl friend in them in a different scene), then you shouldn't watch it ...

She bugs me because she can't make her acting look believable and natural... so I guess I'm saying she can't act.

This sort of reminds me of "Just Married".... which Kutcher was also in...

she was actually pretty good in this one ... but ... yeah.

I don't think I saw that one. Brittany something or other was in that, and she bugs me too. hehe
