Jack Fuller (Ashton Kutcher) works for his dad and doesn’t seem to take life or his job too seriously, which is why his Dad ends up firing him. Joy McNally (Cameron Diaz) is career driven and perhaps a little too uptight, so her fiancee decides to break up with her. Where do you go to forget about being fired (by your dad no less) or being dumped by your fiancee (at the surprise birthday party you threw for him)? VEGAS!! Jack heads to Vegas with his best friend Hater (Rod Corddry) and Joy takes her closest friend Tipper (Lake Bell). Due to a computer glitch both parties are given the same hotel room. Jack, Hater, Joy, and Tipper end up drinking and partying the night away together. Upon waking, Jack and Joy realize they got hitched the night before. Breakfast starts out cordial, but then the bickering begins. Joy leaves the breakfast table and starts playing on one of the slot machines. Jack follows her and after some more arguing the two agree to a quick annulment. Just before they part ways, Jack plays Joy’s last quarter on the slot machine. Sure enough he hits the jackpot (3 million dollars)! Jack insists that the prize money is all his because he put the quarter in the machine and pulled the lever. And of course Joy says it’s hers because he used her quarter and her machine. The two end up in front of a judge (Dennis Miller) who decides that they need to work on their marriage before he’ll consider letting them out of it. He freezes their money and sentences them to six months of marriage counseling with a court appointed therapist (Queen Latifah) after which he’ll rule on their divorce and more importantly, the cash. As part of the judge’s ruling, Jack and Joy move in together. From then on the two of them try every trick in the book to get each other to violate the judge’s terms and forfeit their share of the money.
There are some great one liners and pretty funny moments. Be sure to stick around during the credits for some extra entertainment! I also think this is Zach Galifianakis’ (The Hangover) first major film, but don’t quote me on that. He of course adds to the hilarity of it all. Sure it’s cheesy and a little predictable, but somehow it’s still tolerable with this particular flick. I’ve caught this movie a few times on cable and found it all in all pretty enjoyable. Check it out for yourself!
