Poorly Reviewed 2008 Rom-Com Surges into Netflix Top 10
Key Points
  • A 2008 rom-com with harsh reviews has surged into Netflix's top 10 rankings
  • The film has a 25% Rotten Tomatoes score and was called 'awful' and 'derivative'
  • It stars Cameron Diaz and Ashton Kutcher in a Las Vegas wedding mishap story

The movie, 'What Happens in Vegas', currently ranks as the seventh most-watched film on Netflix's platform, according to multiple reports. Enthusiasts have disregarded reviewers to transform the film into a streaming triumph. Critics were unkind upon its release, with the movie garnering merely 25 percent on Rotten Tomatoes and being labelled 'awful' and 'derivative' by reviewers.

The film is a 2008 production featuring Cameron Diaz and Ashton Kutcher as two New Yorkers who encounter each other during a raucous evening of revelry in Las Vegas and awaken with no recollection of having wed. The characters realise they've secured a substantial casino jackpot, but their scheme to divide the winnings and part ways is thwarted by a stringent divorce court judge. Audience response has been positive, with the movie described as an amusing and frequently poignant underappreciated treasure.
