You people make us sad. Seriously.Kim Hollis: What Happens in Vegas, the Cameron Diaz/Ashton Kutcher romantic comedy, fell only 31% in its second weekend. This $13.8 million outcome gives it a running total of $40.3 million. Why do you think it's doing so well?

Tim Briody: When men were given the choice by their wives/girlfriends to see either Made of Honor or What Happens In Vegas, they chose the less esmasculating option.
Reagen Sulewski: Vegas is as "hip" and "cool" with the general public as it's been since Rat Pack days, whether that's really deserved or not.
