In Ashton Kutcher and Cameron Diaz you have two stars who can make this sort of romantic comedy in their sleep. They also bring such likability that it can paper over the cracks if perhaps the script or the characters are lacking a bit.However both these factors cannot save the fact that this is a dud film, that produces very few laughs, and wastes its stars.I cannot recommend it.

This Cameron Diaz/Ashton Kutcher romantic comedy really just isn't too good. It's not all that entertaining or funny, which really is the most important thing with movies like this, if a film like this isn't amusing or funny then there is nothing else to make it good. The lackluster writing and jokes that fall flat is very unfortunate because I think that the premise to the movie is interesting and has some actual potential to create a funny movie people can have a good time with, but instead of trying to make it humorous and enjoyable, they phoned it in. Cameron Diaz's acting is actually decent, she isn't bad, it's just that she isn't really given much to do. Ashton Kutcher has never been one of my favorites, and that didn't change after seeing this film. I don't know why some people have said in the past that he's charming in films, I don't find anything really charming or attractive about him, especially not in this movie. He plays a very crude disgusting guy here. Standing on the kitchen counter-top, unzipping his pants and pissing in the sink..... Oh and then opening his sweat pants and dumping a bowl of popcorn in his crotch. If that is what this movie thinks is funny then you know you're in trouble. The only saving grace this movie had was Cameron Diaz, she is cute and sweet in a lot of scenes and that is good to see, but the humor is so non-existent and Kutcher's character is so unlikable. 4/10.

The start of the movie is very interesting, it was both typical and not typical for a romantic comedy. And when they want the divorce, the scheming between Joy and Jack is fun and sometimes even clever. This movie might have everything you'd want from a romantic comedy, but that doesn't necessarily make it good. There are elements and plot points so typical in this movie, all the originality feels very insignificant. This movie seems to have almost every typical trope possible. Then again, who would watch a romantic comedy, expecting some real unique masterpiece? So if you want a stupid romantic comedy to watch with someone special,this might be your movie. But don't watch it expecting it to be brilliant, this movie is the same with almost every one of the romantic comedies. This movie just isn't worth it.

I let curiosity get the best of me on this one. I had to find out what Rob Corddry, Zach Galifianakis, and Dennis Miller were doing in a romantic comedy based around America's most overrated hotspot to visit: Vegas. This whole movie was essentially a two-sentence-long plot about a couple of crazy people who are dumb enough to get a shotgun wedding in a drunken haze, win a bunch of money, fight about who's money it is, go to court to get ordered to spend six months together or else forfeit the money, and find that even though they hated each other, they start to fall in love. Cosmo BS. They use the same horrible examples as millions of other romantic comedies (ie. Whining "You keep leaving the seat up" and "I can't sleep in your disgusting bed.") and it just shows how dull these movies really are. Basically, the movie was just a validation for Ashton and Cameron to continue "working" as "actors." She does the WORST fake emotions I've ever seen in an actress BTW. The brief jokes by the aforementioned Corddry, Galifianakis, and Miller were not even enough to pick up the scenes they were in. The director pretty much made it clear that "you're watching an Ashton and Cameron movie only, and as long as you're watching, you're stuck in their simple- minded world." Don't bother.
