Last Vegas

If I was a director, I’d rather shoot nothing than these harmless banal flicks blatantly advocating positive values, which would end up with a “TV film” label if it wasn’t for the expensive cast. The four acting aces are of course super likable, but the story’s too lame for words. (16.01.2014)

I love these types of movies when it’s painfully obvious that the American filmmaking elite has only made a movie to spend some of the excess dollars in their budgets by the end of the year that they’ve got left from making other movies. Nothing happens in the movie at all. Some ace actors get together to play blackjack in Vegas, they drink some twelve-year-old Tullamore Dew and suddenly the end credits start rolling, everyone gets up and goes to their families.

An enjoyable and cheerful comedy that is sure to entertain. The three leads are spectacular and everyone fits their roles like a glove. Despite not being the target audience, I had a decent time and even laughed a few times. Yeah, I'm satisfied. 70%. (22.01.2014)

Having four Oscar-winning aces in one film doesn't necessarily mean that it will be a success, because even a perfectly cast film can always fail on a dull and uninteresting script, which is exactly the case with Last Vegas, which despite the presence of those renowned actors failed to engage and entertain me enough to give it a decent rating. And when the genre is supposed to be a comedy that doesn't even make you laugh enough, something must really be wrong, which is a shame for a film with such acting potential. A film that gambled on a sure thing, and in the end it pretty much blew it (12.02.2014)

It's clichéd and predictable, but I still enjoy these films that look at old age with a bit of perspective. Moreover, with such an amazing cast, where I didn't even realize Kevin Kline is nearing seventy, I was simply thrilled. I laughed, I had fun, and I had a pleasant evening overall. That’s pretty much it, but sometimes that is enough. (19.03.2014)
