Comments about ‘'Viva Laughlin' is way off key’

Its important to note for the skeptical (though this might not allay any reservations) that the songs are not original compositions, but pop tunes spanning the last 40 or 50 years. Viva Las Vegas and Blondies One Way or Another are some notable ones. The characters dont lip synch or merely singthey sing along with the original track, so you can hear both at oncean interesting and confident stylistic choice.



Cast is also great. Lloyd Owen, a british actor with a long career behind him plays the lead, and hes got just the right amount of smarmy confidence and, when the story calls for it, abject fear. And, somehow, they got Hugh Jackman (Wolverine from Oklahoma!) to play the bad guy! Melanie Griffith makes an appearance as well.



Viva Laughlin is totally ridiculous and extremely fun to watch. It reminded me a lot of the early seasons of Nip/Tuck, only without the mean-streak and pretentious aspirations. Oh, and with singing.

I think the reviewer is being too kind. I'm not sure what show Jake was watching but the premier I watched stunk so bad that if the show didn't make it to Sunday wouldn't surprise me.
