‘Forgotten’ 10-year-old Morgan Freeman movie being rediscovered after landing on Netflix

The 2013 film has been rediscovered thanks to Netflix

A 'forgotten' ten-year-old Morgan Freeman movie has been rediscovered over the festive period after landing on Netflix.

If you're a subscriber to Netflix - let's face it, who's not - then you'll know it can be difficult to know what to put on.

Scrolling through each category and finding something to watch is never easy, so seeing what others are talking about online is always helpful.

The current talk of the town is a 2013 film directed by Jon Turteltaub and stars the like of Michael Douglas, Robert De Niro, Morgan Freeman, Kevin Kline and Mary Steenburgen.

Check out the trailer:

Despite featuring an awful lot of famous faces, Last Vegas has somewhat become 'forgotten' in recent years.

However, that has all changed in recent weeks thanks to it dropping on Netflix.

An official synopsis for Last Vegas reads: "Four longtime buddies in their 60s reunite and try to relive their wild youth at a bachelor party, but old tensions surface and secrets spill."

Since hitting the streaming service, many subscribers have flocked to social media to share their thoughts.

Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, one viewer said: "Y'all watched Last Vegas on Netflix?? It’s actually pretty funny."

A second added: "I’m watching Last Vegas on Netflix… when I say I cannot stop laughing at these old men."

A third quipped: "Netflix must watch; The movie Last Vegas 10/10 with cast, story, acting, comedy everything."

While a fourth remarked: "Watching Last Vegas on Netflix. There’s something about this movie I want to relive."

Despite viewers seemingly loving Last Vegas since its introduction on Netflix, critics were not as impressed when it was released back in 2013.

Mike McCahill, from The Guardian, said: "As on-screen noses are wrinkled at the one bikini-clad partygoer approaching the leads' advanced years, one starts to feel the toes curl, or possibly empathetic rigor mortis setting in."

Film reviewer Richard Crouse penned: "No stereotype is left unturned. Dirty old man, check. May-December romance, check. Advice spewing wise old man, check. Viagra joke, check. It's all here and more, but the movie is content to coast along on the reputations of its stars."

And the London Evening Standard's Charlotte O'Sullivan quipped: "The one ray of sunshine: surely anything with the word 'Last' in the title is incapable of spawning a sequel?"

Last Vegas sits at a rather disappointing 46 percent Rotten Tomatoes score.
