Three sixty-something friends take a break from their day-to-day lives to throw a bachelor party in Las Vegas for their last remaining single pal.
You enjoy it in spite of yourself.
Any pep in this Pepto-Bismol comedy comes from its game stars making fun of themselves by coffin dodging on the dance floor, judging a poolside bikini contest, and passing themselves off as mobsters.
While it’s as tacky and obvious as Sin City itself, this comedy is watchable thanks to a lively pace and spirited turns from Kline and Steenburgen. An unabashed old-timers’ fantasy.
What sounds like a hangover of The Hangover is actually pretty money. Morgan Freeman even smiles as our OAP stars hit Vegas, baby, and just about maintain their puff to the end credits.
Those keen to see four princes of 80s cinema going through the motions will find their Last Vegas gamble pays off in minor ways.
At least the cast seemed to have a good time.
Tuteltaub's comedy is ultimately too well-mannered and restrained for its own good.
It's when Last Vegas attempts something more raucous that it takes a tumble.
This sometimes improbable comedy hangs on fine performances from its four veteran stars.
Surprisingly funny and enjoyable.
A lost weekend that's unlikely to linger long in the memory.
