I can't express how badly this film was directed. I was not engaged to any part or scene in the entire thing! I really thought it was going to be better than mediocre but I was wrong. Story line was weak. Jokes were lame and not even funny. I didn't feel the "love story" was even in existence with Jason and the photographer. Everything thing was unrealistic!
I feel sad that RD agreed to be in this film.
Ugh. So many bad things. ?
Piece of crap movie. I have seen some bad movies but this is the worst I have seen in years.
shareyup I sure miss the comedies of the 80's . : Airplane, Caddy Shack, Stripes to name a few
shareI remember seeing a 'preview' of this movie -in theaters- earlier this year. The preview was so vile, grotesque, immoral, and awful that seeing this 'preview' alone nearly ruined the movie that I watched after seeing this preview.
The fact that movies like this are being made, and that there's obviously an 'audience' for them...shows how immoral and degraded this country is and how 'ripe for the destruction' this worthless God-forsaken country is.
Who would MAKE a movie like this other than a piece of crap? Who would WATCH a movie like this other than a piece of crap?
A movie like this was 'inconceivable' even 10 years ago much less 30. It doesn't take a 'saint' or 'religious fanatic' to state that something is wrong or vile like crap like this movie -but I have the impressions that everyone in this country is so stupid and God-forsaken that to say that pretty much ANYTYHING is wrong makes someone like me 'controversial' and seemingly a 'religious fanatic' which I'm not.
Whenever I see popular actors like DeNiro in crap movies like this I lose all respect for them and can't see how they ever could have been worth a crap or had any dignity or character, whatsoever...
Granted it hit a low note, but sometimes you just need to see something that isn't a message or a guns blazing or deep thinking. Just my two cents.
shareDe Niro did a movie called What just happened? which beautifully emphasizes how I've felt during watching this.
My biggest disappointment is with the crew over at Collegehumor, how could they not know better, than this screenwriter failing at this one? At a character development 101 level, it says a lot.
I'm pretty sure others have said this in other threads, but I have to let it off my chest: the grandson had a stable life. He was entirely right in telling him off, that he sucks both as a parent and as a grandparent. The problem is, somebody had an idea, made a YouTube video about it as a reaction video, and the writer watched it high. It's what I'd like to say, but to my horror I had to find out this script was 2011's most liked unmade script on Blacklist. It must have been different, or better, or funny, as the end product is terrible.
I can accept, that one's life can be dull and repetitive, but outside of the characters of Tan Pam and the girl played by Plaza were either not developed, or they acted out of character. His fiancée would rather drink rat poison, than to shag it up with his cousin just to create an excuse to not marry her. I felt at times, that more than one person wrote it, or he wrote it sometimes sober, but most of the time high as a kite. I get the dissing of Florida, it was funny in light doses, but there's no way an actual cop would refuse a phone call, or risk that the arrested person is in fact a lawyer. The writer left the question dangling as to who bailed them out, when they were both in jail.
The biggest offense remains the rehearsal dinner, the old man took a gambit of rather hacking the slide show, offending his grandson who clearly said he doesn't want to see him instead of just letting him be.
To compare: The Hangover was in Vegas, and they were let off the hook, but in this movie, the protagonist has a criminal record, that easily leads to disbarment. His grandfather destroyed his life for a fad he had in high school. A romantic comedy requires chemistry, Your Highness delivered on that, despite being in a similar vein. They had none. She had also committed petty theft, interesting character trait for an environmentalist. That's the other thing: the grandson was not forced to think, that their movement was brim full of hypocrites, as if an acrylic juggling ball wouldn't be harmful to just keep it for fun.
It talks volumes, when an actor refuses to do the press tour for a movie, and De Niro did just that, and I don't blame him, Last Vegas was way better.
