LAST VEGAS

Finished this script by Dan Fogelman.

Story's about four senior citizens that go to Las Vegas and rediscover their vitality.

I was so impressed with CRAZY, STUPID, LOVE, I went back and read this script by Fogelman.  There must be two Dan Fogelmans.  LAST VEGAS is trite, boring as hell, and dry as a bone.  No laughs to be found here at all.

First off, who's going to see this?  The leads are all in their late 60's.  Do we really want to see them hanging around a pool at the Palms casino?  Are we going to laugh when they try to pick up 20-year old hotties?

This is a bad concept.  Normally, I would give something like this twenty pages before I toss it.  However, since Fogelman wrote it, I read the entire thing.  Wish I had tossed it.  Total waste of time.
