Linbeymusol Wonderful character development!

Softwing Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Phillipa Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

maoenjoyhappy Old four best friends since their childhood reunite again in Las Vegas to throw a bachelor party such as playing casino and taking part in a bikini show as a judge, for Billy who is going to get married with around 30-year-old. However, a relationship between Paddy and Billy is poor since 58 years before…What I felt first is how gorgeous the casts are. They have good chemistry though their character is respectively different. In addition, their hilarious and comical conversation and behaviors make us laugh the whole way through. Their relationship is amazingly heartwarming. I have an inseparable best friend since elementary school and we quarreled and shared many both memorable and unwanted memories. Honestly I believe that getting old is unfavorable and feel even scary; however, I changed my mind that if I have friends like four of them, aging is not that bad thing. I do hope to laugh at each other with my friends, talking silly and trifle things after getting older as ever.

A_Different_Drummer Hollywood loves hi concept, loves anything shot in Vegas and loves anything with an ensemble cast especially if they are older and you can get them cheap.So this was a film they were going to make anyway, regardless of the viewers or the critics, so may as well try to enjoy it.Your humble reviewer, with over 1000 reviews on the IMDb, grew up with these guys so the experience was not as painful as it could have been. Can't say the same for anyone born after 1990 -- they might not see the magic.My notes: Mary Steenburgen is the only cast member who escapes the carnage. Dignity is her middle name, or should be. In her early 60s she is getting good roles, like this one, and her character in Justified. De Niro made a decision to try comedy some years back and he succeeds, sort off. Freeman could read the phone book and make it interesting. Kline could read a menu and make it funny. Douglas is a little lost in this film, and is mainly playing a self-caricature.All we can do is hope this is really is the last Vegas, because a sequel would be dangerous enough to alert Homeland Security.

Dave McClain I've heard this movie described as "the Hangover with senior citizens" and its four stars as "the Mount Rushmore of Acting". Both descriptions are apt. "Last Vegas" (PG-13, 1:45) brings together four men (Michael Douglas, Robert De Niro, Morgan Freeman and Kevin Kline) whose average age was 71 at the time of the film's release, and who have a combined 300+ movie and TV credits to their names over careers that total about 200 years and who, as a group, have racked up over 25 Golden Globe noms (with several wins) and about 15 Oscar noms (with several more wins). These actors have starred in such iconic films as "The Godfather, Part II", Sophie's Choice", "Taxi Driver", "Driving Miss Daisy", "Wall Street", "A Fish Called Wanda", "Fatal Attraction" and "Independence Day" as well as under-appreciated gems like "The Game", "A Bronx Tale", "Seven" and "Grand Canyon". Attention should be paid.In "Last Vegas", four childhood friends get together in Sin City to throw a bachelor party for the ladies' man of the group, the last of them to finally get around to getting married. The set-up is similar 2013's "The World's End", complete with one attendee who, due to an old grudge, had to be tricked into joining the reunion. As the four men air their grievances, remember the past and worry about the future, they're working their way through a weekend in Vegas in which they make new friends (of varying ages) and figure out how to party "like it's 1959", although the calendar is working against them.This movie, with these four acting legends, and ably supported by Mary Steenburgen, Michael Ealy, Romany Malco and Roger Bart, is a good bit of fun. Jokes about aging abound, but just as those gags are about to go stale, the film shifts gears to focus more on the drama that has developed among these four men, yet still manages to work in a few more laughs here and there. It's a pleasure to see these four cinematic legends share the screen and it's obvious that they're having a great time playing these characters. There are a couple interesting plot twists along the way, which culminate in a resolution that is predictable, but heartfelt. "Last Vegas" is funny, but could have been funnier, interesting, but could have been more interesting and well-acted, although not quite award-worthy, earning, from me, a "B".

phoenix 2 Four old friends meet in Las Vegas to throw a bachelor party for one of them. So, the theme and the main idea behind the movie is quite interesting, even though the jokes are few and depth non existence. The story has many layers with the wedding in the middle to feature as the trigger for parties but for revelations as well. There are some twists here and there that keep the movie fresh and the interest high, but Last Vegas is not The hangover, even though sometimes it seems like it tries to be. It is more about friendship and old age that can be misunderstood (the hotel clerk makes that quite obvious). Nice performances for the four (five) main characters and nice shots from the city. So, 3 out of 10 for Last Vegas.
