Movie Reviews: Last Vegas
Screen legends Robert De Niro, Michael Douglas, Morgan Freeman and Kevin Kline star as four old friends looking to fulfill some sort of nostalgic dream of a bachelor party in Las Vegas.
Overall, most critics weren’t too kind to the old movie sages.
Chris Packham of the Village Voice says:
"The characters are totally passive -- money, drinks, women, and unexpected acclaim shower down on these elder-bros like Werther's Originals from God's own cardigan pocket, completely unearned by the characters or the screenplay."
Ignatiy Vishnevetsky, writing for AV club, wasn’t impressed either:
"Reality-bending silliness-or even a good gross-out joke or two-would be preferable to the stale, corny jokes this movie tries to pass off as comedy."
Owen Gleiberman of Entertainment Weekly:
"I steeled myself for the moment when these four would fall into what-happens-in-Vegas high jinks."
