Perhaps the most intelligent thing about this film, even if it is yet again about Vegas, is that it casts Cameron Diaz and Ashton Kutcher 8211; two actors great to look at and known to throw themselves body and soul, literally, into comedy.

The problem is the film, which neither has a body nor a soul. A trite storyline about a couple that finds itself married after a drunken binge one night in Vegas, richer by US 3 million the morning after, and fighting over who keeps it seconds later, is made worse by a judge who believes in 8220;marriage as an institution8221; and orders them to stay together for at least six months to try it out.

Joy Cameron Diaz and Jack Ashton Kutcher spend the time doing everything from stealing toilet seats to bathroom doors to peeing in the kitchen sink to racing each other to the marriage counsellor appointment, as the judge has otherwise threatened to seal up 3 million in litigation. And that8217;s the best the scriptwriter can come up with, not bothering to add anything in the dialogue department.
