Here is an excellent review of “What Happens in Vegas” starring Cameron Diaz and Ashton Kutcher by Variety’s Joe Leydon.

“Some trend-conscious wags won’t be able to resist describing “Vegas” as Judd Apatow Lite, since it’s about a self-involved slacker who becomes more directed and/or responsible as a result of his relationship with a more mature woman. But, really, that set-up already had whiskers long before Apatow became a brand name.

“In fact, the roots of this new pic can be traced back to 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”

There is nothing like seeing a good old-fashioned, trendy comedy.
