Not so bad!

Jack Fuller (Ashton Kutcher) has just been fired by his own father (Treat Williams) and Joy McNally (Cameron Diaz) has been dumped by her fiancé in front of their mutual friends. They go to Las Vegas to forget their sorrows. A few hours and many drinks later the two find themselves married each other.
When they wake up to reality they want to divorce but just as they're about to part ways, he wins $3 million on the slots, with Joy's quarter.
A cranky judge (Dennis Miller) puts a spoke in their wheel and sentences them six months of forced marriage together or else forfeit the money. They must visit a marriage counselor Queen Latifah and prove they are attempting to save the marriage. Jack and Joy decide to make the life of the other hell on Earth to force to get out of the marriage and to get their hands on the money with hilarious results. The token best friend roles are played by Rob Corddry and Lake Bell.
Of course the ending is extremely predictable, but what else do you expect from a basic paint-by-the-numbers romantic comedy?
