"The good:- some nice historical shots of las vegas during its golden age- sammy's musical / dance numberthe bad:- comes across as just a pure star ego project (which apparently it was)- silly dialog- lots of non-value added characters (remember this was a full employment project for frank's buddies)bottom line:the folks giving this movie 4-5 stars have definitely drunk the nostalgic rat pack cool aid. i honestly think they are reviewing the idea of this movie, rather than the film itself. if you not one of these fans, then i would recommend - wait for the original to appear on late night tv- get the 'remake' - much better"
"This is one of the most interesting series made. The version that made it on Sci-Fi channel a few years later with commentary should go onto the DVD. I really wish someone would get this out soon... the feel of the society portrayed here becomes more like reality. The Bush II era in a post-bin Laden/WTC world has takes on the atmosphere of politics as in Fathers vs. Friends in the world of this series more and more."
"You are crazy if you don't get into your car and drive to the nearest theater that is showing this film on Dec. 7th. I would say that this is the biggest hit of the year. Not only for the reasons of the cast; which is by far the strongest we've seen in a while. The plot is interesting and keeps you engaged for the whole time the movie is showing. There isn't one slow moment in the film. The storyline is great and I would recommend this movie to anybody at all. You can take any age person to this as there are no scenes than would be innapropriate for anybody. I would say congratulations to the crew of this film for making the biggest blockbuster of the year."
"The performances in this movie where bad but so is karoke so who now's maybe they were supposed to be.I think the Maria Bello and cabby relationship was really the only weak one of all the four pairs.This movie get's 3 star cause it could have been better but then again it could have been a lot worse. Ps I still can't believe Gwyneth could sing"
