Last Vegas (12A) 105 mins **
This greyer Hangover throws up images that fall
somewhere between the emblematic and the mildly depressing: Michael Douglas
squiring a woman three decades his junior, Kevin Kline and Morgan Freeman
prowling the Strip to the sounds of Rizzle Kicks, Robert de Niro in Crocs.
While these four are guying each other, Jon Turteltaub’s comedy proves genial
enough, even gentlemanly in its circling of local chanteuse Mary Steenburgen.
It’s when Last Vegas attempts
something more raucous that it takes a tumble: as onscreen noses are wrinkled
at the one bikini-clad partygoer approaching the leads’ advanced years, one
starts to feel the toes curl, or possibly empathetic rigor mortis setting in.
Last Vegas opens today in cinemas nationwide.
