Vigaristas em Hollywood

Someone says that if you reunite some old actors to make a comedy you will find with a piece of crap, a bad movie with tons of bad jokes, bad lines and lousy performances. This is not the case. If you avoid fart and sexual jokes, that's a point to count it, since almost every Hollywood comedy from the last decade just repeat that formula. This days it's hard to find in a comedy a masterpiece, and this is not one of that category, but is a pretty decent one, and is genuine funny and worth to watch.

Robert De Niro make a good old failure Hollywood B class movie producer in search of a last great movie, as those criminals the look for a great last job, and that comparison is good enough to make you laugh. His character is ridiculous enough, without exagerate the tone. Morgan Freeman make a great mafioso type of bad guy, even when his character is secondary. Tommy Lee Jones is great as an almost retired old western actor. Zach Braff is just hilarious as De Niro's character nephew's.

All in all, is not a bad movie. Is a good and decent comedy that just make you laugh and forget your problems for a while, make you have a good time. And that is more than many other comedies can do this days. It's a comedy, for Christ sake!

With robert de niro at the top of his lungs, spraying verbal sprout everywhere, and ever so loveable tommy lee jones, has become so overcoming of age, still with a staggering limp and a wink in the eye. This is comedy alla 70's and 80's, and the filming sets reminded me about peter sellers ''the party'' with the signal horn in the intro.

So as the undead speaks still, there are still hope also for the grumpy old man, that gives a recommend for this one, cheesy in the juggularis, but suitable for the good old generation.its the art of thinking and imagination that rules the reign.

I laughed out loud this movie. Love the premise. It's something fun. I understand there's an infamous film on which this was based but this was done by talented people having a good time,. Good comedy in the vein of Rustler's Rhapsody by way of Peter O'Toole's, The Stuntman.

Quite a few laugh out loud moments with some poignancy. Tommy Lee Jones needs to make another western Robert De Niro Morgan Freeman, and the young lady playing the director are terrific. The premise is a little flimsy, but really who cares....it's a chance for some terrific performance performers to get together and entertain us for an evening much like Noises Off and My Favorite Year do. Make no mistake. Those are superior vehicles. Still, this is a lot of fun grab the popcorn. But one main negative to me is the language is too much for the premise, but I was willing to put up with it because I was enjoying the ride.

This comedy is really pleasant to watch. It is light hearted, and it has many big names. I enjoyed it.

Not a great comedy, but certainly good enough for those fans of Tommy Lee Jones and Robert de Niro. Especially Robert de Niro has starred in lesser comedies in the past and however simple this comedy might be, it it still quite enjoyable, without getting big laughs though, because it is more amusing than straight forward funny.

The good: Tommy Lee Jones. If you love this actor (the older generation) then this movie is yet another example of this actor's wonderful CHARISMA.

More good: Robert de Niro and Morgan Freeman act well, (although they do not act at the best of their game), but I still did enjoy those two acting legends very much so. Both actors are not really suited for making comedies, but they are still quite amusing to watch.

The story: Robert de Niro (washed up producer, who only has made flops) is in debt by a gangster (played by Morgan Freeman). Robert de Niro decides to con the insurance by making a movie that will purposely kill the leading actor (Tommy Lee Jones) and reap the insurance benefits of the actor's death. Will he succeed?
