What happens

What Happens in Vegas (stylized as WHAT HAPPENS IN Vega$) is a 2008 American romantic comedy film directed by Tom Vaughan, written by Dana Fox, and starring Cameron Diaz and Ashton Kutcher. Its title is based on the Las Vegas marketing catchphrase "What Happens in Vegas, Stays in Vegas". The film follows New Yorkers Joy McNally (Diaz) and Jack Fuller (Kutcher) meet inadvertently in Las Vegas, party so heavily that neither remembers getting married, and win a casino jackpot prize, but their simple plan to get a quick divorce and divide the money is complicated by the divorce court judge's ruling. What Happens in Vegas had its world premiere in London on April 22, 2008, followed by a Los Angeles premiere on May 1, 2008. It was theatrically released in the United States on May 9, 2008, by 20th Century Fox. Despite negative reviews from critics, the film was a box office success, grossing $219.3 million worldwide against a production budget of $35 million. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
