A standard romantic comedy (complete with obligatory ending chase scene), but the reason it gets the extra half a star is because of some hilarious moments and one-liners with Ashton Kutcher. Not a great movie, but a fun one to watch.

This is a movie that was written in a board room. Get two stars who have a "buzz" about them, and stick them in a movie where they are romantic for no good reason. The entire premise of the movie was not only impossible, but it was totally void of the ability to suspend belief. There is no reason to go into the details point by point why this couldn't happen, the real crime here is that each character in the movie is a caricature of the character. No one and nothing seems real including the court room scene. This movie has no depth, no message, no insight into meaningful dialogue to reveal something about people. If it weren't for the stars attached to this movie, no one would have seen it, no one would have heard it, and it is highly unlikely it would have ever gotten made.

I usually like most movies, but have to say this one was really a dog. The acting was very high school,, although the supporting characters weren't bad. The whole premise of the movie is a bad joke - and it's all been done before. Really - getting drunk and marrying a stranger in Vegas? Been done before. Not funny the millionth time. Then there was all the little jokes, like her showing him how to keep the toilet seat in the down position.. Again, done before a million times on bad television shows. And the entire premise of the judge ordering them to live together as man and wife.?? yes,, done before. It's the same premise as the Jerry Seinfeld show when Jerry got his own TV show based on the premise that he is in a car accident and the judge sentences the guy to be his butler. Every joke in this movie is old. Wow.

The start of the movie is very interesting, it was both typical and not typical for a romantic comedy. And when they want the divorce, the scheming between Joy and Jack is fun and sometimes even clever. This movie might have everything you'd want from a romantic comedy, but that doesn't necessarily make it good. There are elements and plot points so typical in this movie, all the originality feels very insignificant. This movie seems to have almost every typical trope possible. Then again, who would watch a romantic comedy, expecting some real unique masterpiece? So if you want a stupid romantic comedy to watch with someone special,this might be your movie. But don't watch it expecting it to be brilliant, this movie is the same with almost every one of the romantic comedies. This movie just isn't worth it.
