Movie Review ~ Last Vegas
(Edited)
Image
A decidedly pleasant film that works thanks to four actors with four different styles, where viewers will find moments they can relate to and that will elicit a half-smile or even a hearty laugh.
The script is nothing special, nor does it pretend to be. It avoids complicating things and goes for the easy (and recognizable) option, filling its running time with a handful of well-crafted scenes, even if they are scenes we have already seen in similar films with different actors.
The story, despite not exactly shining for its originality, introduces us to four friends who have known each other since childhood. Over the years, each one has gone on to live their own life, and after a long time, now well into their later years, one of them gets married and plans to have his bachelor party in Las Vegas with his lifelong friends. The first few minutes are introductory.

They don't offer anything particularly good, but they are necessary in part to establish the plot. After about 20 minutes, the good stuff starts, the story itself and their trip to the city of gambling.
From here on, things gradually improve, without ups and downs or boring sequences, until reaching the climax that represents the final part.
We see several lively parties that anyone would like to attend at least once in their life, as well as spectacular girls, good music, and fun for the protagonists, which is what it was all about.
The film works best when it tries least to be funny (Mary Steenburgen and Michael Douglas dominate that part). “Last Vegas” will delight older viewers, instilling in them a kind of false optimism typical of all that bright falsehood of Las Vegas that Jon Turteltaub skillfully captures on film.

In short, “Last Vegas” is an enjoyable, entertaining film. It's a good way to spend an hour and 40 minutes of distraction and, if you like the genre and the plot, you can even have a pretty good time with the exploits of this quartet of experienced men.
I would recommend it to everyone, but you have to know what you're getting into so there are no surprises.

I almost put it on my list after reading that they all had different styles but then again thank you for such a detailed review. It made me realize I'm not so much a fan of such genre so I'll keep my distance.

It's a matter of taste, but it made me laugh a few times and I thought it was acceptable. Thank you for reading my review.
