Last Vegas

Plot: Four old friends in their 70s are reunited when one of them gets married to a girl in her 30s.

Review: Now going into this movie I was a bit skeptical because lately movies starring Robert De Niro don't turn out so good (Righteous Kill, Little Fockers, etc.). But surprisingly, Last Vegas does work out. Basically it's like Michael Douglas, De Niro, Morgan Freeman and Kevin Kline are all starring in a Hangover movie. One of them pops the question to a 30 something year old and promptly invites them over to Vegas for a bachelor party. There are some very funny scenes. Michael Douglas plays Billy, the leader of the group who has been fighting with Paddy (Robert De Niro) for years. Morgan Freeman and Kevin Kline are pretty funny in these roles. Freeman usually does serious movies from The Dark Knight trilogy to Olympus Has Fallen. Kevin Kline really hasn't been in much these days, his days of acting were in the 80s. But Last Vegas certainly is a funny film and basically if you like the Hangover movies, you'll like Last Vegas!
