What Happens in Vegas is a romantic comedy released in 2008, directed by Tom Vaughan and starring Cameron Diaz and Ashton Kutcher as the main characters, Joy and Jack, respectively. The movie is set in Las Vegas, Nevada and follows the lives of two strangers who meet each other by chance and decide to indulge in a night of fun and partying in sin city.

Joy McNally is a workaholic who has been recently dumped by her fiancé, and Jack Fuller is a slacker who has just lost his job. Joy and Jack end up winning a jackpot of $3 million after spending a drunken night together, but cannot agree on how to split the money. This leads to a series of hilarious events that force them to stay married for six months and attend couple's counseling sessions in order to receive their half of the jackpot.

As they try to make their fake marriage work, Joy and Jack slowly begin to learn more about each other's quirks, habits, and personalities. Along the way, they make some important discoveries about themselves as well. For example, Joy learns to relax and enjoy life more, and embrace the idea of taking spontaneous risks. Jack, on the other hand, learns to become more responsible and plans for his future.

One of the most memorable moments of the movie is when the couple attends a marriage counseling session together. The counselor, played by Rob Corddry, advises them to try to get to know each other better by finding out what their partner's "love trigger" is. This leads them to a series of silly and comedic events, as they try to figure out each other's love trigger by conducting various experiments.

The movie's biggest strength lies in the chemistry between the two lead actors. Cameron Diaz and Ashton Kutcher have excellent comedic timing and their banter is a joy to watch. The movie also features a talented supporting cast, including Rob Corddry, Lake Bell, and Queen Latifah.

In addition to its comedic elements, the movie also touches upon some important themes such as the nature of relationships and the difference between being in love and being in a committed partnership. Joy and Jack's relationship is not perfect, but they begin to understand that it takes hard work and dedication to make a marriage successful. They also come to realize that sometimes, what they thought they wanted isn't actually what they need.

Overall, What Happens in Vegas is a lighthearted and entertaining romantic comedy that is sure to put a smile on your face. Its charming characters, hilarious situations, and heartwarming message make it a perfect choice for a fun night in with friends or a date night with a loved one.
