What Happens in Vegas: Review By Rufio

An unexpectedly enjoyable film. While its format is that of the typical Rom-Com formula, its worldview and casting set it apart from many other cliche movies. I loved that the entire premise of the film revolved around them not trying to get out of their mistakes and "win" (keep the money), but actually try and make it work. It encourages the harder road (with more rewarding outcome) versus the easy way out. Dennis Miller's judge character makes a very true judgment on the sanctity of marriage in today's culture and I wish he had a much bigger part (but even in his minimal role, he steals the movie). Ashton Kutcher and Cameron Diaz both play their typical rom-com characters, but their parts fit them well and their chemistry is very believable. The only major mark against it is the constant sexual dialogue and partying scenes (which were relatively tasteful compared to what it could have been). Fun film and well worth the watch.
