What Happens in Vegas: Look, I know this is the kind of movie you’re supposed to hate if you’re any sort of movie buff, but I didn’t totally hate this.

Despite the hackneyed, predictable plot, it maintains a fluffiness that makes it a great popcorn movie. ★★★ ...

Crash is a movie that can’t accurately be described. There is no start-middle-end like most movies.
