What happens in Vegas

We held a preview for this flick and absolutely loved it! Cameron and Ashton play two strangers, down on their luck who end up meeting while partying in Las Vegas. The next morning they wake up to find themselves married! To make things even more awkward, one of them ends up hitting the jackpot and winning $3,000,000 from a pokie machine, but using the other's coin. It's a hilarious ride as each tries to trick the other out of the money, mixed with a sweet love story.
