MMNO

Mohter's Day came and I dragged my husband to see Maid of Honor. I was prepared for pre-packaged chick flik drama (my usual). In a series of mix-ups we did a 180 and ended up seeing What Happens in Vegas. Dan's usual.

I am not a huge fan of the dumb-fun* genre by Ashton Kutcher and Cameron Diaz. At least lately. I mean did anyone actually see "Miss Guided?"

So, the theaters had pulled a switcheroo, I was wasting my only MMNO**, the seat was sticky, and some teenager's hat was blocking my view to a movie I didn't even want to see. I didn't even like Vegas when I when I went myself!....This was going to be dumb.

But from the moment the movie started until the second it ended I was laughing. Out loud. So what if the movie was conceived by the Las Vegas Visitors Convention. Of course it was dumb but also very, very FUN. I think I could even give Vegas a second shot.***


*I do like Diaz but pretty much only in Something about Mary and In Her Shoes. I also feel like Kutcher was funnier in That Seventies Show. So Vegas was a total surprise hit for me.
**Mom's Movie Night Out. This was the first one in 1.5 years. So you can see why I didn't want to waste it.
***I went to Vegas for work in 2001. I put together a trade show for 48 hrs at the LVCC Hilton and came home.
