That picture up there is the official one-sheet for the upcoming romcom What Happens in Vegas. If we went by this poster, the movie looks like one of those cheek-pinchingly happy romcoms full of Vegas weddings and matrimonial bliss. But this is the movie where Cameron Diaz and Ashton Kutcher fall to the huge Las Vegas cliche -- hitting Sin City to forget their problems, while getting drunk and getting married.
The twist -- they play a slot machine as they decide to dissolve the marriage and win $3 million, so splitting up isn't so easy. They're sentenced to 6 months of "hard marriage" by a judge who freezes their winnings. It's just so romantic! Both of them act like asses to the other, and then, oh my god, they realize that they're meant to be! They fall for each other! Yeah, I'm being really hard on this, but c'mon -- Ashton is notorious for his bad romcoms, and the trailer is just a melange of stereotypes and over-done jokes that doesn't seem to offer anything fresh. Cameron and Ashton get hitched on May 9.

This guy Kutcher is the most annoying actor on the planet. How people can watch him is beyond me. He has zero talent!

If there was ever a single image that screamed to me,
"YOU WILL HATE THIS!"
That has got to be it.

I understand the annoyance of having to put up with not only another smiling-toothy movie with Cameron Diaz, but yet another predictable romantic comedy. But...unfortunately there are still a bunch of women that eat this stuff up on their "girls nights out". Just looking at the poster makes me want to watch a gritty indie just to redeem myself for looking at it.

Ashton has that same idiotic grin on his face 24 hours a day.

This seems like just another stupid version of "Just Married" i thought ashton was trying to prove that he was more dimensional, that he could do more then just comedies..i think the typical we just got married now we hate each other flick is a bit overdone at this point, im not watching this crap i barely stayed awake during the other one... =/
