Virag's Movie Reviews: Last Vegas (2013)

This movie was not as astoundingly awful as I thought it would be, but only because the bar was a little too low.  Douglas and DeNiro didn't even try; DeNiro is the king of phoning it in once the check clears, and Douglas looks like a disturbing, rejected alien concept from the 1960s Star Trek show.  Morgan Freeman and Kevin Kline, on the other hand, did some decent work here with the weakest of material, and Mary Steenburgen sure looked happy to have the gig.  Last Vegas is even yet still another flick murdered by the hella-stupid PG-13 rating.  Since these guys weren't in a tween movie or superhero story, the PG-13 forced the material into the worst sort of immature presentation.  Last Vegas looked and felt like an overlong pilot for a sitcom.
