Description: In New York City, Joy Ellis McNally, a high-strung equity trader played by Cameron Diaz, is dumped by her fiancé, Mason, during a surprise birthday party she organized for him. Meanwhile, Jack Fuller Jr., an easy-going carpenter portrayed by Ashton Kutcher, is fired by his father. Both are heartbroken and, along with their best friends, decide to take wild trips to Las Vegas to escape their troubles. Joy and Jack cross paths when a computer error assigns them the same hotel room. After resolving the mix-up and receiving upgraded rooms and club coupons, they spend the night partying and drinking, ultimately ending up married. Realizing their mistake the next morning, they plan to divorce. However, before they can do so, Jack uses a quarter Joy gave him to play a slot machine and wins a three-million-dollar jackpot. Joy claims she is entitled to half the winnings since they are married. They return to New York to file for divorce, but the judge orders them to live together for six months and attend weekly marriage counseling sessions with Dr. Twitchell. If they cooperate but still wish to divorce after six months, they can split the money. If either fails to comply, the funds will be tied up in litigation. As they navigate this arrangement, Joy and Jack devise increasingly elaborate schemes to undermine each other, from canceling counseling sessions to staging seductions. Jack even returns Joy’s engagement ring to her ex-fiancé without her knowledge. “What Happens in Vegas” is a comedy about love, luck, and unexpected turns.
