DVD Reviews of What Happens in Vegas (Extended Jackpot Edition + Digital Copy)DVD Review: "One of the Best Romantic/Comedies Ever!" Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this film because I love Ashton Kutcher. I had no idea, however, the movie was this good. His chemistry with Cameron Diaz is excellent, and the script is hilarious and funny, with many surprises thrown in. More than a date movie, it's really a movie about human behavior, and what brings two people, who are polar opposites, together.
The film is about two people who end up in Las Vegas, for very different reasons, and discover one morning they are married after having too many cocktails. When Jack, played by Ashton, puts a twenty five cent coin of Joy's, Diaz's character, into a slot machine, they win three million dollars. Neither wants to be particularly married to one another, as they are so different in many ways, so they sue each other for the money, and thats where the fun begins.
This is probably one of the best romantic comedies I have seen in years, and you don't have to be a Ashton or Cameron fan to like this. What makes the film work is the script, the locations of Vegas and New York, which is shot beautifully, and the sheer chemistry of the leads. Hopefully they will do a sequel to the movie.
The film came in second on it's first week of release, culminating over $200,000,000 at the world-wide boxoffice. A certified hit.
I own all of Ashton's films, and this is one of the best he's ever done.
There are also two DVD releases of the film: the bare bones DVD that has the movie only, and the deluxe 2 DVD edition with a ton of bonuses, including commentary, deleted scenes, and more.
Sit back for ninety minutes, have fun, and forget about your problems and enjoy a fantastic film with two fantastic stars.

Description of What Happens in Vegas (Extended Jackpot Edition + Digital Copy)After the wildest party night of their lives, two mismatched strangers, Jack (Ashton Kutcher) and Joy (Cameron Diaz), wake up in Vegas to discover they not only got lucky ?" they got married! The road to annulment takes a hilarious turn after Jack wins a three-million-dollar jackpot while playing Joy??s quarter and a no-nonsense judge (Dennis Miller) sentences them to six months ??hard marriage.? What follows is an all-out war of the sexes as Jack and Joy go to outrageous lengths to try and cheat each other out of the money. But in the end, they may learn that when you gamble on love, you just might win, against all odds! What Happens in Vegas is a comedy waiting to happen. It takes an old premise (drunk strangers regretting their decision to get married in Las Vegas) and adds in a dilemma (a $3 million slot machine win) that could've been easily resolved. But then again, there would've been no movie if the unhappily wedded couple figured out that splitting the money in half and getting their marriage annulled would've been quick and effective. Cameron Diaz plays uptight clean-freak Joy, who has just been dumped by her fiance. Ashton Kutcher is Jack, a slacker furniture maker who has been fired--by his own dad. Each goes to Vegas to let off some steam. And while they have nothing in common (except being exceptionally good looking) they make out, get married, and fight over the money Jack wins with Joy's quarter. Instead of letting the couple get divorced, a judge sentences the odd couple to half a year of marriage. What happens in Vegas doesn't stay in Vegas, but extends into New York where Jack and Joy live. Both actors have fared well in comedies, especially Diaz in My Best Friend's Wedding. And while Kutcher still has to live down Dude, Where's My Car?, he showed a lot of comedic flair and charm in A Lot Like Love. But the two face an uphill battle here with inane dialogue and a premise that not only is unbelievable, but unlikeable. The two are so incompatible (and immature) they can't even control bathroom time and, in Jack's case, his bladder. --Jae-Ha Kim
