Last Vegas



Starring four legends like you've never seen them before, Last Vegas tells the story of Billy, Paddy, Archie and Sam (played by Academy-Award winners Michael Douglas, Robert De Niro, Morgan Freeman and Kevin Kline), best friends since childhood. When Billy, the group's sworn bachelor, finally proposes to his thirty-something (of course) girlfriend, the four head to Las Vegas with a plan to stop acting their age and relive their glory days. However, upon arriving, the four quickly realize that the decades have transformed Sin City and tested their friendship in ways they never imagined. The Rat Pack may have once played the Sands and Cirque du Soleil may now rule the Strip, but it's these four who are taking over Vegas.

This was a very, very enjoyable movie about friendship and growing old. The movie is pretty much just as formula as you would have expected from the trailer, but the four actors all provide plenty of laughs and their friendship portrayed onscreen was completely believable since they all played off of each other so well. My biggest fear going in to this was that it would turn out to be a dramedy with someone's health becoming an issue or something. My fears were not answer and this comedy didn't swerve down that road.

I would definitely recommend people checking this movie out. It really was a lot of simple fun at the movies and I liked it very much.
