TV director Tom Vaughan helms this romantic comedy which stars Cameron Diaz, Ashton Kutcher, Lake Bell, Rob Corddry, Treat Williams, Dennis Farina, and Queen Latifah. Rated PG-13 for some sexual and crude content, and language,including a drug reference the film is one hour and forty minutes long.
Two strangers, Diaz and Kutcher, awaken together to discover they've gotten married following a night of debauchery in Sin City, and one of them has won a huge jackpot after playing the other's quarter. BGF Bell and lawyer and Best Bud Corddry pitch in to help as the newlyweds devise ever-escalating schemes to undermine each other, get divorced, and get their hands on the money – only to find themselves falling in love amid the mutual backstabbing. Along the way we meet Willams as Kutcher's demanding father, Farina as Diaz's demanding boss, and Latifah as a court appointed counselor assigned to make sure the couple actually try to make their marriage work.
Have you seen this story before? You bet. Do you know how it's going to end five minutes after it starts? Right again. Will that make any difference in how much you enjoy it. Not in the least. What we have here is a very familiar story, and a well matched cast that looks as if it's enjoying itself, going through their paces in a way that provides for an entertaining romantic comedy. Critics will not care for this film but I'm betting the viewing public will like it just fine.
