Watch Last Vegas For Free

Wow! Such a good movie.

Better Late Then Never

A waste of 90 minutes of my life

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

This movie deserves mad respect. You have four legends in the main roles and they work so well together. I mean the concept isn't new but they do it so well. Their self-deprecating style of humour stops it from being a geriatric wannabe film and instead makes it cool. It's very The Hangover but I personally found it more funny.One of my favourite parts of the movie is the beginning where you get to see the mini versions of the four friends. The resemblance is uncanny. On the flip side, the one thing that unsettles me is the love triangle storyline. It's trying to be selfless but instead it just makes me sad. Other than that it's a great movie.

Last Vegas (2013): Dir: Jon Turteltaub / Cast: Michael Douglas, Morgan Freeman, Robert De Niro, Kevin Kline, Mary Steenburgen: An elderly version of The Hangover only it totally lacks the laughs and clever writing of that great comedy. Title regards the conclusion of youth and innocence. Michael Douglas stars as the centre piece of four friends that go back to childhood. He is getting married to a woman thirty years his junior and he contacts his friends for a weekend bachelor party in Vegas. Robert De Niro plays an estrange friend who resents Douglas because he failed to attend his wife's funeral. This resentment runs deeper before the conclusion reveals deeper pain. Morgan Freeman is on pills is monitored by his son so he must sneak out undetected. Kevin Kline plays the fourth wheel whose wife gives him an envelop that contains a Viagra pill and a condom. While he does have an uncomfortable encounter with men in drag, it is obvious that he will not cheat on his wife even when the opportunity presents itself. The female roles are unfortunately underwritten and placed as props for romantic clichés. The cast is wonderful but the screenplay is as bland as the lights going out in Vegas. The Hangover is brilliant but here it doesn't quite hit the laugh factor. Director Jon Turteltaub has done better films such as While You Were Sleeping and National Treasure: Book of Secrets. He doesn't totally miss here thanks to a great cast and a theme of age and friendship. Big fans of the actors will be curious but Vegas is always better with the Wolf Pack in the dawn of the boozing. Score: 5 ½ / 10

Last Vegas' main tagline is that it stars five Oscar winners of roughly the same generation: Robert De Niro (Godfather II, Raging Bull), Morgan Freeman (Million Dollar Baby), Michael Douglas (Wall Street), Kevin Kline (A Fish Called Wanda), and Mary Steenburgen (Melvin and Howard).Still as Wild Hogs and Old Dogs demonstrated, packaging together a random bunch of aging legends as the sole reason for greenlighting a comedy ranks up there with a Transformers sequel, splitting up the last part of a trilogy, and ironically titling a horror film Not Another Teen Movie in blatant commercialism.However, the actors of Last Vegas have a certain chemistry with one another that takes away any of your cynicism in ulterior motives. Mary Steenburgen, who has been marketed in the last decade or so as a senior citizen who's still got it, really gets to show off her mature sex appeal opposite aging casanovas like Kevin Kline, Robert De Niro and Michael Douglas. Similarly, Morgan Freeman and Kevin Kline have a relaxed demeanor here that movies with thicker premises might not allow. That it's set in a city where excess and blatant commercialism are the norm allows the film to pass through the tropes of a romantic comedy with a wink and a smile but the story twists and turns a little to buck the unexpected. Thumbs up.

I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. I wish there were more scenes of the characters as children. I am not in the age bracket of the actors, but could compare my own friendships with theirs. I love when movies show and even promote realistic relationships.I hate how Paddy didn't get the girl and was even told that his wife only stuck with him because his first choice said no. It left a bad taste in the mouth. There should have been at least 2 older ladies in the film. one for each of them! I loved Morgan in this film also. Very funny. You will find there are some great one liners in this film.Age is just a number... for everything EXCEPT true love. You can start something new everyday. A new business venture, going back to study, travelling, you name it! But there is something very endearing about couples who choose to grow old together or with someone of their own generation. I think Billy and men like Billy (was), ARE fearful of growing old. And then some are just straight up jerks! All in all, a great film to watch with friends.
