There is an tired old saying that “What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas”. In fact that’s probably one of those sayings that you hear around the water cooler on those days that you need to stir things up or when you are talking about things not all that related to work to get your mind of the daily grind!
Needless to say that I didn’t know what to expect from this movie. You watch the previews and think to yourself, this combo, does it really work? Can you make a movie out of this plot line?
Now for those who know me, and for those who don’t, I’m a huge fan of these types of movies–Romatic Comedies. There is just something about them that just makes you want to watch more of them.
Surprisingly enough, and without spoiling this movie for those would-be goers, I was pleasently surprised. Although throughout the movie, it seems like the game that they played was a bit out of portion to what it was that they were after? After all, the premise of the movie is that these two who made a foolish act in Vegas realizing that they had nothing in common with each other, now were drawn to each other by $3 million dollars. But consider this, she is a broker, and he is the son of a man who own’s a wood working business (not exactly sure there, but regardless he owns the business) , is $3 million dollars or even half of that $1.5 million dollars, worth going through all of that pain and suffering if you really don’t like each other? Also would you feel comfortable knowing that you had to share the same area as someone who might take advantage of you? I think from a movie perspective, they perhaps could have made the pot a little more appealing, say $10 million dollars or something like that.
All in all, this was a cute movie, be it though I think the ending was rather weak and certainly left you wanting for more. Might also be one that you let go to DVD as I don’t see this as a must-see box office movie.
