The Last Laugh

Of course I'm going to watch a movie starring Richard Dreyfuss and Chevy Chase. And I wasn't disappointed. It was funny with a message, but not so bleak as say "The Bucket List". I totally enjoyed this, yet another, movie about not getting older, but being old. I never think I'm going to enjoy these movies, too close to home, but this one was outstanding to me because of Richard Dreyfus. He always excels, whether in a dramatic role or a comedic role such as Bob in "What About Bob". He is wonderfully believable in this as a former standup comedian. Chevy is mostly the straight guy, and good at it, but I miss his goofiness. One restaurant scene allowed him some schtck and it was hilarious. The writing was excellent; the jokes didn't fall flat except when they were supposed to. And who doesn't like a good road trip? Could have done without the lengthy musical scene - nobody sings very well in it and it felt out of place with the rest of the story. Loved the cameo appearances by some great, old, comics who are still very much relevant today. Another good, watchable flick from Netflix.

I will keep this very brief as there isn't a great deal to say.

The cast were great, the plot was well meaning with a warm and fuzzy feeling.

The only thing that really lowers the score for this movie is how a LOT/MOST of the scenes are just mashed together and it really makes the story look messy, sometimes actors deliver a line in such a way that you can tell they simply cut a 3 minute scene down to 44 seconds. That's all though.

All in all, it's a nice and easy to watch movie, just try and forgive the bad editing and you'll be fine

This film tells the story of two old guys who goes on a comedy tour.

The story is engaging, the Jones are good and I line the characters in the film. Even though there's a sad subplot, the film still maintains a light atmosphere, with hope and friendship shining through. I enjoyed the film.

If you were wondering, what is Richard Dreyfuss up to? Well here's the answer. And it's nice to see him once again. And whatever your feelings are towards Netflix, you have to acknowledge that they do try and push and help artists fulfill their projects. So him paired up with Chevy Chase is really quite something. Add a few other actors of that generation but also a few younger ones for good measure and you get a decent comedy.

Actually the ending is quite something and may be able to get you going emotional. I know I did and it really achieved something. It is never too late for certain things and your goals are always something worth seeking out ... Sentimental? Yes. Great actors? Also yes - now it only depends on your personal taste ...

Past memories of stars I grew up with and how I remembered them in all the great movies they stared in. Sort of a blast from the past which I quite enjoyed seeing them act again from a long absence on the BIG SCREEN. It was great to see Andie MacDowell, Richard Dreyfuss and Chevy Chase (and many uncredited actors) in a wonderful movie that shows a people can still act and do a wonderful job at it. I hope many other viewer find it as enjoying seeing these actors make it big again an also see some amazing country side and with some pretty good jokes on the side. Great actors.... but how they have aged since I last saw them in recent movies.
