    Get ready for real fun
    Following a wild night of too many drinks in Las Vegas, Cameron Diaz and Ashton Kutcher, wake up to discover that they are married in this funny and colorful romantic comedy…

    But after a huge, disputed win at a casino, the neurotic newlyweds end up in court fighting over the grand prize…

    To try to make things work, the weary judge (Dennis Miller) freezes the money and sentences them to "six months hard marriage" to make them learn how to live together as man and wife, and maybe, eventually, they will really fall in love…

    Diaz and Kutcher work together well on screen… They are appealing, and they bring some really comic moments… Their performances make us smile…

    Some of the supporting cast showed off their talent and managed to steal a few genuine laughs...The movie is enjoyable, and director Tom Vaughan did a decent job
