What Happens In Vegas.....

How often have you been to a romantic comedy and there is way too much drama and not nearly enough comedy (Baby Mama) and you leave the theatre sorely disappointed? The let down will not occur with "What Happens In Vegas..." Even down to the last few moments, the movie will deliver chuckles. I saw a sneak peek of the movie tonight and thoroughly enjoyed the 99 minutes in the dark.

The story line is simple. Type A girl gets dumped, slacker guy gets fired, they meet, hook up in Vegas and win $3 million on a slot machine after they have drunkenly married ..... that is in the first 15 minutes of the movie and there's still a lot of movie left to be watched and enjoyed.

The movie is predictable but cleverly written. The humor at times is dry and subtle and then there are moments of in your face laughs. Cameron Diaz and Ashton Kutcher deliver nice performances with the assitance of a great supporting cast.

By the way, bravo to the promotion department, when they created the previews/commercials they did not show all of the best parts!

This is absolutely a full price movie!
