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.
