Ashton Kutcher and Cameron Diaz are charming and hilarious as two strangers who get hitched in Vegas - and must live together by rule of a judge. These two stars have great chemistry together and it's hilarious to see them go at each other with fury.
Jack is a carpenter who slacks off alot, and subsequently fired from his job. Joy is a stockbroker who is very coordinated and uptight, and is subsequently dumped by her fiancee. Both heartbroken people decide to go to Vegas, where they meet and drunkenly get married. When they wake up they discover how much they hate each other.
Jack steals Joy's quarter and puts it in a slot machine, and wins $3 million. They argue over which should get it, and then a judge sentences them to forced marriage for 6 months, and if either person is deemed not working on their marriage the other gets the money. They both scheme of ways to get the money, and the results are hilarious.
This is a huge twist on the average romantic comedy, and is a romantic comedy in reverse, sort of. It is driven by how much they hate each other, but in general, it still follows the typical formula for a romantic comedy. It is very funny though, with a hilarious ending. It's a new genre, in a way: A chick flick that the guys will enjoy even more than the girls. B

most of the chick flicks i've seen with Ashton Kutcher have been pretty good... there's this one and then A Lot Like Love is another example
