What's The Story
Jack and Joy, two strangers who head to Vegas to drink and gamble away their separate troubles, end up creating a gigantic shared problem when they wake up married. To complicate matters, Jack then wins a $3 million slot machine jackpot using Joy's quarter. A sadistic judge freezes the money (and the annulment) until the two can prove that they've tried for six months to make the marriage work. It's an all out war as they fight over the fate of the millions, but a funny thing happens on the way back to the courtroom. Actually, a whole lot of funny things, hence the term "comedy." But one is, they fall in love.Three Good Reasons
- 1There's something about gorgeous girl-next-door Cameron Diaz... and pairing her with puckish Punk'd prankster Ashton Kutcher is a surefire recipe for slapstick fun.
- 2What wouldn't you do for $3 million? Everyone loves a "get rich quick" story, especially when it has two charming rivals stooping to new lows in pursuit of the American dream.
- 3Her Majesty, the incomparable Queen Latifah, makes an appearance as the couple's marriage counselor. If she can't talk some sense into them, then no one can.
