Career woman Joy heads off to Las Vegas to cheer herself up after being very publicly dumped by her boyfriend. Fate leads her to meeting amiable slacker Jack and the new friends soon enjoy a boozy evening. Later that evening, rather drunk, they end up getting hitched.
As reality dawns the next morning, the duo plan to divorce as quickly as they married. But Jack wins a massive amount of money, after putting one of Joy's coins in a slot machine. Their squabble over the money leads to a judge freezing the assets and sentencing them to make a go of their marriage - for at least six months.
Tom Vaughan's romantic comedy also stars Queen Latifah as the marriage guidance expert who tries to keep the couple together.
