So with Last Vegas coming up to dvd release I thought I would do a quick blog just in case you haven't had the chance to see it yet and have been wondering about it.
So it is Directed by Jon Turteltaub, and stars Michael Douglas, Robert De Niro, Morgan Freeman and Kevin Kline.
The plot line is to be honest pretty close to The Hangover except they are all in there 60's and above. But one of them is getting married, and so they decide that one last blow out in Las Vegas is what they need. So yeah, they get up to mischief and cause problems and it is funny, some places laugh out loud funny but not as many as I would have liked considering the cast they had.
Not to mention it is a very slow moving film to start with but it does pick up and that was when I began to enjoy the movie a lot more.
Unfortunately though I don't feel the writer Dan Fogelman really used the actors that are involved to his advantage when it came to it. There could have been a lot more to it than there was and some of the characters weren't very well developed compared to others. Which made it out that some of them were there just because of who was playing them. Like it was trying to be The expendables only a comedy not a action movie obviously.
The acting is good, from all of them which of course it to be expected from such high flying actors as these four. It is just a shame that the writing wasn't really up to scratch, otherwise it would have been a lot better movie over all, and it would have been a bigger box office hit.
