I had a hard time buying anything about this comedy, although it had a few fresh and funny moments. Mostly, though it is stale and unoriginal, while going for the lowest common denominator form of humor.

Well I don't watch films like this normally as from the trailer, I can see that I'm not going to like it. I was right and wrong. What Happens in Vegas is not a terrible film, nor is it a very good one at that. It suffers from lack of orginality and uniqueness. While the plot is slightly orginal at the beginning it falls under the preditcablity plot and you end up feel less satsified than you might have buying the ticket to see the film. While it seems interesting enough the film, for me it …

Not As Horrible As Most People Say

It’s not as bad as critics and most audiences claim it is. I think this is one of those movies that became a victim of group think. Don’t get me wrong–it did have forced humour (that either worked or didn’t) and characters making stupid decisions right after another–but none of it is meant to be taken seriously.
