Plots(1)
After surviving a plane crash, 21-year-old Lamb Mannerheim is beginning to realize that the world is much bigger than her small, God-fearing Montana town. Armed with a big, fat insurance payout and a checklist of untried sins, there's only one place for her first taste of temptation... Las Vegas! Now this wide-eyed, innocent girl will have to navigate the bright lights, seedy bars and dark alleys of "Sin City." And, with the help of a few new friends, Lamb just might survive her strange adventure and discover what it means to really live. (official distributor synopsis)

I can't help it, but there's just something about Russell Brand that I always find compelling. Maybe it's his voice, his British origin contrasting with his appearance like an American rock star. I don't know. He's just enjoyable to watch, even in such an average comedy with a "serious" message. It's a bit of a shame that the movie tries to hammer you with its message in the end. I keep thinking it's quite nice that it's not just a shallow romance, even though we still end up with a happy ending.

I was saying to myself that this comedy might belong among those that are criticized on this site but actually provide quite decent entertainment. But that didn’t happen. In spite of the fact that Julianne Hough in the role of Lamb Mannerheim begins her acting performance with a fairly decent explosive monologue in the middle of the church about how she survived a plane crash, cashed in her disability pension, and under the watchful gazes of the entire church, started to rant how God is a bastard, if he even exists at all. After her loud monologue, she calmed down, took a golden credit card and traveled to Las Vegas to enjoy life a little. Unfortunately, this movie was made by some religious American, so the wild party was cut short in the moment when she found God in her soul and realized that spending all her money in Las Vegas wasn’t a good idea. Too bad. Russell Brand would have been totally able to help her with that.
