Review of What Happens in Vegas (2008) by Rev.rikard — 16 May 2008
Okay, I knew it was a date-movie before purchasing the tickets. I expect fluff, some comedy and predictability. Sometimes I am surprised by a film in this genre; but not this time. I will admit that it began with enough energy to spark a little hope I might leave surprised.
However, it ran out of gas after the first half hour and coasted to an ending so predictable a pre-adolescent could write it. What saves this ilk of film is that entertaining twist and elbow-in-the-ribs ending.
The movie was void of both. I did find myself contemplating one serious matter: How long did it take for the Queen to learn her lines? She can be an amazing, mesmerizing presence in film and yet, they probably shot her scenes in one afternoon.
She could very well have been the comedic shot in the arm the film could use.
