Not enough good ideas for a full sitcom means probably not enough good ideas for a full movie, Tom Vaughan, director of What Happens In Vegas.

See, the thing is, it doesn’t really stay in Vegas. That’s the whole point of the film. Genius? No.

Dana Fox wrote this gag-fest solo. If any of you happened to go out into theaters and see Fox’s previous effort The Wedding Date with Grace from Will & Grace (that’s how little we care about that actress), we ask to please set down your mouse, push back your chair and go rent some movies.

The fact that more than half of the trailer gags aren’t funny doesn’t help our predictions for what is sure to be further proof that Cameron Diaz can’t open a movie.

The one gag that works for us is Kutcher not knowing that the “hot girl party” is a trap, only because we’re fairly sure we’d have the same reaction to a hot girl party.

But then we thought: does that make you as stupid as Ashton’s Kelso character, who seems to be at the root of most his romantic comedy parts?

And then we thought: yes.

And then we hated ourselves and inexplicably became jealous of Topher Grace who managed to step away from that show with a career.
