What Happens In Vegas

In the city of New York, high-strung stockbroker Joy (Cameron Diaz) is dumped by her fiance, while laid-back carpenter Jack (Ashton Kutcher) is fired from his job. Emotionally distraught, they both travel to Las Vegas where they meet in a hotel room that had been double booked. After clearing up the misunderstanding at the reception, they proceed to engage in a night of partying and never ending fun, resulting in the two getting married in an inebriated ceremony. Soon after the fog lifts, they decide to divorce, at which time Jack takes a quarter from Joy and drops it into a slot machine as she walks away. As he is leaving with the slot machine still rolling, he hits a $3,000,000 triple-jackpot. They were supposed to go on their own way but due to the $3,000,000 won by Jack with the quarter of Joy, the two must figure out a way to share it since they are still legally married. Once back in New York, a judge declares that the couple cannot divorce until they attempt to co-exist for six months, while being monitored by a marriage counselor weekly. They will be permitted to keep half the winnings from Las Vegas if they cooperate. If either party does not, their fortune will be confiscated. As the newlyweds devise more and more cunning schemes to undermine one another and keep the other's share, Jack and Joy ironically find themselves in a position they didn't expect...
