Thanks in no small part to Kline and Steenburgen, "Last Vegas'' has its moments. When they're not on-screen, beware of half-baked ham and hypoglycemic shock.
Top CriticA mild geezer comedy full of jokes that might have sounded tired at a "Dean Martin Celebrity Roast," the movie has no reason for existence and nothing much to recommend it.
The comedy remains a presence throughout, but "Last Vegas" has a serious purpose, and the resolution of the men's journey of realization is anything but corny.
Musters enough laughs to be passable, if not memorable. And that's thanks to Morgan Freeman's showmanship.
It's the actors, plus an exuberant Mary Steenburgen as quick-witted lounge singer Diana, who make the movie more than a middling copycat.
Alternately trashy and teary, marginally funny, occasionally cringe-inducing.
Where action movies are equated with popcorn, Last Vegas is comfort food. It's not terribly good for you, but it sure tastes good.
One gets the distinct impression that we're looking into the future at Grown Ups 5, albeit with actors who have too much dignity to fart, sneeze and belch at the same time.
It's better than it looks.
"Last Vegas" is an early-bird special of a movie. Ninety minutes in and out. Who needs an all-you-can-eat buffet when what you really want is a little song, a little dance, a little seltzer down the pants?
Thoroughly predictable, no more than mildly amusing, and utterly maudlin when it veers into sentimental mode.
Hard to believe that four actors as storied and honored as these never shared a screen before now. Imagine the movie (they) could've made together in younger, hungrier times. Now hold that thought because Last Vegas isn't that movie.
Luminous, funny, self-deprecating and appealingly self-confident, Steenburgen patently purloins the movie from her co-stars.
Yes, it's uneven, more jokes miss than hit, and it winds up taking easy dramatic shortcuts from the more interesting avenues that the script presents, but it's thanks to the lead quartet that the comedy is as engaging at it is.
As far as sitcom-cinema goes (and the movie does truly look terrible), you could probably do worse than this -- probably because most sitcom-cinema casts don't allow Robert De Niro, Michael Douglas, Morgan Freeman and Kevin Kline to share the screen.
