What happens when you take four major Hollywood stars and put them together for a comedy? You get a pretty entertaining film, which is the case of ‘Last Vegas’, a film that stars Michael Douglas, Robert De Niro, Morgan Freeman, and Kevin Kline as a group of friends who get together for a bachelor party in Las Vegas when Douglas’ character is about to get married. The film really benefits from its four leads. They have great camaraderie and the moment they all get together is when the film really starts to have a lot of hilarious moments. Kline in particular is probably the standout of the film. He’s actually the youngest of the four and yet ironically his character sort of feels like the oldest. But of course, De Niro, Freeman, and Douglas are also great as well. On the surface, this may seem like a less raunchy version of ‘The Hangover’ and in a sense, it kind of is. But at the same time, it’s still really funny, even if at times it’s a bit corny. It’s just really cool to see these four Hollywood legends on screen together; that’s something that I doubt we’ll ever get to see again. If I had any complaints, it was that at times the film kind of feels a little bit too much like a commercial for Vegas mainly just because of certain shots highlighting the sights and sounds of Sin City. Still, in the end, ‘Last Vegas’ is a pretty enjoyable film made even more so by its quartet of leads.
Rating: 4/5
