VarietyJoe Leydon
This two-seated star vehicle for top-billed Ashton Kutcher and Cameron Diaz wrings a respectable number of laughs from a formulaic scenario about attracted-opposites who bicker and back-stab their way toward happily-ever-aftering. Read full review

L.A. WeeklyJulia Wallace
The stars, despite having only a fraction of the charm and talent of classic sparring-but-meant-for-each-other duos, know how to mug for the camera and well up on cue, and somehow that turns out to be enough to carry this trifle. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesCarina Chocano
Hokey and forced as it is, What Happens in Vegas eventually settles into a rhythm, maybe because Diaz and Kutcher actually look like they have fun together. Read full review

The A.V. ClubScott Tobias
Complain all you want about the affable slobs in Judd Apatow comedies; at least they're not tools. Read full review

TV Guide MagazineKen Fox
Cameron Diaz is the ideal guy's gal and Ashton Kutcher is, well, a guy. Together, they're a zero. Read full review

USA TodayClaudia Puig
It's a story that feels familiar at best, hackneyed at worst, which is surprising and disappointing, as director Tom Vaughan also made last year's "Starter for 10," a charming British coming-of-age comedy. Read full review

The overwhelming sensation of deja vu is exhausting and disorienting. You really HAVE seen it all before. Read full review

Portland OregonianM. E. Russell
After the initial charm wears off, the whole thing gets check-your-text-messages dull. Read full review

Bland enough to make millions as culture edges closer to oblivion. Read full review

New York Daily NewsElizabeth Weitzman
While Diaz and Kutcher make their clichéd characters as likable as possible, you can bet on this: Any movie named after an already-stale ad campaign isn't likely to gamble on the unexpected. Read full review

SalonMary Elizabeth Williams
As it is, it's too restrained, too often -- too eager to gallop toward postcard sunsets on the beach when tequila shooters and lap dances are what the moment calls for. You'd think the combination of Diaz, Kutcher and Vegas would be good for at least a little sexy, silly fun. But don't bet on it. Read full review
