Billy (Michael Douglas), Paddy (Robert De Niro), Archie (Morgan Freeman) and Sam (Kevin Kline) have been best friends since childhood. Billy has been a bachelor all his life, but now is about to marry a woman half his age, so he puts the group back together to head to Las Vegas for the wedding. But while they’re there, they figured it was only right to throw Billy an epic bachelor party. But the guys are older now, and even with the infatuation with a lounge singer (Mary Steenburgen) trying to settle them down, they do their best to rip up the town. But old hurts, and Billy’s secret that he’s been holding all these years are about to do in the whole gang.
This is a really funny buddy movie. This is the senior citizen version of The Hangover, much to my delight. These guys are really funny, and the script is so rich with back stories and side tracks that it’s always interesting and really funny. These guys do their best to have a good time, and watching them try so hard is really funny. This also reminds me a bit of National Lampoons Vegas Vacation because there’s some really funny misunderstandings and side treks on the journey to the wedding day. All in all the brilliant comedic actors each play their part to bring it all together for one of my favorite ensemble casts of all times. This is a really funny trip to Vegas for the silver haired gang, and one you ought not miss now that it’s available on DVD.
