De vuelta a Las Vegas

Fun feel good movie that with a stellar cast and just the right amount of heart. It's the perfect vehicle for these old school comedy legends and the script gives each an opportunity to showcase their comic talents. Wesley Snipes is the stand out as the ring leader of the crew and Spence Moore proves to be a true leading man. The Kevin Hart cameo is hysterical and I love everything Tiffany Haddish brought to the film. Perfect film for streaming if you want to have some big laughs. And the love story is sweet if you want a good date night flick. Didn't want it to end and would love to see a sequel one day. Definitely check it out!

When I ask any film I ask myself one simple question, was I entertained? Yes I was. This has me laughing all the way through. The negative reviews are just people who are too serious in their film watching. It's a ridiculous comedy that's just meant to be stupid funny and it is.

The ensemble cast is on point with their roles. Gary Owen is one of my favorite comedians and though he plays his typical role in a black film, he still kills it. Wesley Snipes does who in this like he did in Dolemite's My Name. Tiffany Haddish mainly plays narrator telling the story of her son Merlin and his dream of becoming a Las Vegas magician and like all dreams, he gets hilariously sidetracked. Just watch and enjoy it for what it is, a silly comedy.

Merlin's quest for fame as a magician in Las Vegas takes an unexpected twist in this intriguing proposal. The idea of turning a weekend in Vegas into a movie venture, avoiding the typical Hangover narrative, suggests creativity. Envisioning a Black Full Monty with the talented kid from All American brings a unique angle. The stacked cast, coupled with director Chris Spencer's connections, hints at a promising project. Debuting at the Martha's Vineyard Film Festival in 2023 adds an exciting goal. In a comedy drought, this concept stands out-a refreshing and funny prospect to get us laughing again. 🎬😄

This is not Magic Mike... that part of the story line is the pretext at this romantic Afroamerican comedy. The rhythm is good. No down time. Made my laugh out loud lots of times as much from the bad suggestive dance moves then from the flow of Afroamerican slang especially by women to describe sex, the male member or to insult one and other. Being a white single 60's French Canadian man... it seems to me that it was too much not to be stereotyping? But then again maybe not... As it was funny. And like it a good romantic comedy true love does blossom at the end... in a frenetic last scene. One scene toward the end seems to have needed more writing...

Back on the Strip features one of my favorite actors in Weslie Snipes but even his role in this is far from saving it. This latest comedy failed to come up with a compelling story or provide tons of laughs. Instead what we get is something that is flat, forced, and should have never been made. It's a shame as well because Weslie Snipes was in this along with Tiffany Haddish. I only rememberd laughing a couple of times and really wanted to turn it off early but I powered through. I really wish Studios would do more oversight on what movies they are green lighting before releasing. Back on the Strip gets a low 3 stars out of 10 from me.
