“It owes the canon nothing.”
The movie pursues immediacy and audience pleasure without begging institutions to certify its worth.

Put Last Vegas on trial.
Two incompatible taste archetypes. One film. Read the arguments, then issue a completely binding cultural ruling.

It moves efficiently through the moment but offers little reason to keep arguing once the credits end.
