The popular expression, “What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas” conjures up a veritable jackpot of shed inhibitions, insane indulgence, and gleeful debauchery. And if you can remember any of it, you probably weren’t there. But what would happen if a few crazy--okay, hugely inebriated--moments in Sin City not only didn’t “stay” there but also followed you all the way back home and threatened to turn your life upside down? That’s the setup that explodes into a series of outrageous consequences for
two sexy, if wildly mismatched, strangers in the comedy What Happens in Vegas. For charismatic party guy Jack Fuller (ASHTON KUTCHER) and buttoned-up commodities trader Joy McNally (CAMERON DIAZ), a rowdy weekend coincidentally shared in Las Vegas should have, by all rights, ended up being little more than a random blur. That is, if these two vacationing New Yorkers didn’t have a signed marriage license staring them in the face to shockingly remind them of the giant misstep they took while feeling no pain, Vegas-style. Stacking the deck, not only did Jack and Joy tie the knot after tying one on, but later scored a mind-blowing three million bucks in a slot machine bonanza. Well, Jack won it with Joy’s quarter. At the machine she’d already been playing. Or was it the other way around? And
whose loot is it anyway? |
