Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

My parents made me watch this movie and I pretty much hated everything about it. The characters were all very bland and are very forgettable. The performances go from pretty bad to just fine, which makes for a very uninteresting movie. The plot was predictable and it didn't feel like the director was really passionate about this story and wanted it to be told. The music is either something you could find on a royalty free website or just some pop song. The cinematography nearly all of time was very dull with only a few interesting shots and some with good shot composition. The dialogue is just very tame and like most things in this movie, unforgettable. But the main problem with this film is probably the comedy. I only chuckled about twice during this movie as most of the jokes were predictable or obnoxious with most of them just being " ha old people shouldn't being doing those things but they are." Overall this movie is pretty bad, boring and bland and I would not recommend. 2/10 with some interesting shots every twenty minutes and a good moral sprinkled in there.

When ive seen the cast and the trailer i though that this movie was going to be a failure but i was wrong. Popular actors like Robert deNiro, Morgan Freeman and Michael Douglas made this movie an intriguing one. The story is simple, comic and sometimes things like this happen in real life. It was like a ride and like you've atended to the party, I feeled good and liked what i watched. It was like watching a teen movie about true love in a comic way but portrayed by old people and made us realise that friendship lasts forever even they got separated across the country. It had turn-overs and very funny scenes, I recommend watching it with friends nonetheless

From the director of '3 Ninjas' and 'Cool Runnings' comes 'Last Vegas'! Those may or may not sound like good pedigree (I'm ignoring 'National Treasure' on purpose), but it doesn't really matter how good a director you are when you have an all-star cast of Douglas, De Niro, Freeman, Kline & Steenburgen. Even Ferrara ("Turtle") & Malco are good in supporting roles. Needless to say, 'Last Vegas' is, to a degree, 'The Hangover' for old people.It has funny moments throughout, with some great laughs in places, but there's also a fair bit of time spent wasted with parties, girls in bikini's (it is Las Vegas, after all) and some drama between De Niro's & Douglas' that wasn't really necessary. My main gripe would be that these sentimental moments add on an unnecessary 20min to the movie.The story is very simple and quite predictable, but what you can't quantify is the way the four lead actors just work well together. I think special mention must go to Kline who has some of the best lines and laughs, but the four of them together, quipping and joking at/with each other, is great to watch.

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.
