Not For The Critical-Eye

If you're a lover of Best Picture and Oscar nominee Golden Globe award winning films, why are you watching this in the first place? What Happens In Vegas to me is just a nice little spend your free time movie that if you're not a total film snob, ANYONE can enjoy. I did find it SO predictable, but at the same time, it was just so cute and charming that I don't see WHY someone would just flat out hate it to death. I thought they did a very good job at making the script stay solid with such a ludicrous plot they were going with and in my eyes that was really challenging to do and they nailed it. Overall this was a very entertaining and fun film that you shouldn't sit down expecting the greatest movie in the world before you view. Give it a try, though it's not everybody's kind of movie, and of course it had a lot of problems, but you can overlook them if you're watching it for the right reasons...
