Critics Consensus: The cast of Last Vegas keep things amiably watchable, but the film is mostly a mellower Hangover retread for the older set.

It's a celebration of something the movies never celebrate anymore: being old.
The film, directed by Jon Turteltaub, has an easy but mediocre charm.
The actors perform with multiple safety nets and the closest the film ever comes to taking a risk is having Freeman dance to a cover of Earth Wind & Fire's "September."
"This is the like "The Hangover Part 43."
It's bad enough when Hollywood casts women over the age of 30 as grandmothers-in-waiting. Now we have to endure an onslaught of famous veteran actors complaining about their hips.
A preholiday trifle that's mildly risqué and a lot sentimental.
The movie is fine. It's funny, but not hilarious. It's touching, but not poignant. It's well-acted, but not brilliantly so.
An autumnal memory celebrated by actors who are close to the December of their years.
There's something to be said for the big studio comedy that works. Last Vegas more than fulfills its promise.
Confused morals aside, the sexual content and routine humor are only the least of the reasons audiences should skip this film.
Overall, the feel of the movie is relaxed and Turteltaub does a good job of breaking the mould of onscreen senior citizen stereotypes. This Old Boy's Club still knows how to party!
The product placement is jarring, the view of women dispiriting, and there's no doubt that such an illustrious foursome, even in their senior years, should be capable of something a great deal better.
When i first heard that these four actors were going to be in a movie together, i thought it was going to be legendary and i got exactly what i wanted from this film. It's true and dazzling five star entertainment with some of the best actors around. One of the funniest, freshest and most enjoyable movies of 2013. It's an utterly wonderful, laugh-out-loud funny and heartfelt film featuring for the first time together Robert De Niro, Morgan Freeman, Kevin Kline and Michael Douglas. These four are a dream team, they have such outrageous and brilliant chemistry and character development together. These great actors still got it, and shows the older they get, the better they get. These four Oscar winners make this film one of the big events of the year. A buddy movie that will appeal to younger and older audiences. An excellent movie that has true heart and magic in it. I truly and utterly loved it from start to finish. Director, Jon Turtletaub has crafted his best piece of work in years since Phenomenon. A hilarious and tremendously entertaining great time at the movies. This is pure fun that no one could pass up.

You would think a film like this, that rips off of almost every Hollywood comedy for it's story, (mainly "The Hangover") that it would be very dry and forgettable, but it has many heartfelt moments that surprised me, and a group of old guys saying they are "too old for any of this stuff anymore" and "we need to appreciate life more" seems too much, but it's not. I really enjoyed watching "Last Vegas." It's not the greatest film in the world and I may be tired of seeing these actors over and over again, but they do the best with what they are given, and it is a pretty funny turnout. It's written well enough as far as comedies go, and the performances are great of course, making it a fun ride. "Last Vegas" would be a good recommendation if you are drinking with a bunch of people and want to throw a movie on.
*** Whenever someone would ask me about this movie(even though I hadn't seen it) I would describe it as "Hangover with old people". That isn't exactly wrong, but it's not right at all. What should be a stupid geriatric comedy with lots of Viagra jokes is actually a very funny, touching comedy. The stars really make this movie better than what it should have been. The premise is simple. 4 old friends(as in been friends for 60 years) reunite in Vegas for a bachelor party/wedding weekend. The friends are played by Michael Douglas, Robert De Niro, Morgan Freeman, and Kevin Kline. These 4 are just awesome, even in their old age. They also have great chemistry. You can really believe that they have been friends all these years. The movie is sometimes silly and has the typical drama, but it works. It really does. Kind of like how I expected "Grudge Match" to be awful, this really goes above expectations. Good flick that I'm sure people of all ages(especially the older crowd) will enjoy. On a side note, I watched this using a new service called M-GO, and I gotta say it worked great! If you haven't tried it out(it's on roku's), give it a shot, gets the Everett seal of approval.
Amusingly superb Movie with a few of the greats, it would be a great coming of Age movie if they weren't already in there 60's!
