Last Vegas

Last Vegas

Rating 6 out of 10

I love Las Vegas.  Got married there nearly twenty years ago.  Have an old college friend that lives there so I go as often as I can. I generally attend and mostly like movies that have to do with Vegas.  This is a mostly harmless fun little movie with a cast of yesteryears A-list actors.  Many of the jokes you see coming and fifteen minutes into the film you can guess what's going to happen.  Doesn't matter.  It's an entertaining ride.

Movie starts with four young boys growing up in NYC.  Best friends.  Defending each other against bullies. Getting into trouble.  Fifty years later the boys are now long in tooth and gone different ways but still in touch.  Billy (Michael Douglas) is the successful one that is getting married to a woman less than half his age. He wants his old friends there when he gets hitched for the first time in Vegas.  Archie (Morgan Freemen), Sam (Kevin Kline) and Paddy (Robert De Niro) come along although Paddy is reluctant to do so.  First night there they meet aging but still pretty lounge singer Diana (Mary Steenburgen) who then tags along.

Lots of old people jokes.  Some corny ones too.  As I said it's a harmless mostly well acted movie.  Good rental.
