7 Dias para Vegas

This Van Patten family project is based on a true incident that happened to star Vincent Van Patten back in the 90s. He did actually make a bert he could walk from Los Angeles to Las Vegas in 7 days. vince wrote the script allegedly based on some Hollywood characters he knew. They must have been some colorful bunch.

That's the strength of 7 Days To Vegas, the colorful characters that creator Vince Van Patten drew. The film is structured a whole lot like the Martin Scorsese classic Casino. As that is a real favorite of mine I couldn't help but like 7 Days To Vegas.

The villain of the piece is Ross McCall a full of himself director with a big bankroll who likes to take chances. He doesn't have even surface likability, but the money keeps people hanging on and he's a good gambler.

The climax belongs to brother James Van Patten. I won't say more, you have to see it to believe it.

This is one good enjoyable almost caper like film.

Briefly speaking, watching the first 90 percent of the movie was truly painful. It began quite well and got me interested but then all started to fall apart as more and more stupid proposals and agreements were made. It just didn't make any sense and I felt like the main character was constantly taken advantage of and just abused. Numerous plot twists didn't make it easier either. But finally, the ending scenes made it worth watching. I was pretty surprised and I enjoyed it. Difficult at first but enjoyable in the end.

I've wasted an hour and a half on worse things. It had potential. With better acting and writing this would have a shot. Decent premise.

What a fun film! I actually watched it twice which I never do. It's funny and I thought very well written. I found myself laughing out loud in some of the scenes. I loved the ending, but no spoiler info out of my mouth. I liked this film from start to finish! Bravo!!

I thought there might be something worthwhile to see, based on the reviews, so I watched this whole, sorry movie. (at least there were some shots of the desert, which I like :) ) The acting is generally bad, and the plot is just not that believable. They tried to be a combination of "Oceans 11" and maybe "The Hangover", but didn't succeed in providing the entertainment of either. In typical Hollywood fashion, ample F-bombs were included, and a few semi-nudes; neither adding to the plot or value of the movie. Don't waste your time watching this. I can't believe it got funded!
