PG13,1hr 39min Released: May 9, 2008 Directors: Distributor: 20th Century Fox Starring: DVD Review by Sean Axmaker, Special to MSN Movies "What Happens in Vegas" is that high-strung broker Cameron Diaz and happy-go-lucky slacker Ashton Kutcher go on a bender, end up in a quickie marriage, and win a jackpot while legally wed. Now they're stuck with one another because the first one to bail leaves behind a small fortune. You know, of course, that this means war. Variety critic Joe Leydon writes that the film recalls the "screwball comedies of the '30s and '40s. The big difference -- well, OK, one of several big differences -- between 'Vegas' and those fast-paced comedy classics is that 'Vegas' actually becomes more enjoyable as it tamps down the over-the-top helter-skelter of its early scenes." Rob Corddry and Lake Bell play the respective best buddies, and Treat Williams, Dennis Farina and Queen Latifah co-star. The disc comes with all the usual accoutrements: commentary (with director Tom Vaughan and editor Matt Friedman), a breezy staged interview between Diaz and Kutcher, a few light featurettes, and the interactive drinking game "Bottoms Up." Skol! Also available in Blu-ray. | ||||||||||||||
