Last Vegas - 03/01/2014
Combine two of my favourite actors with my favourite city on the planet and surely this can't go wrong.
Michael Douglas is getting married to someone half his age, so has a bachelor blow out with his life long buddies, Morgan Freeman, Robert De Niro and Kevin Kline, and where to have this party? Las Vegas!
A Romantic, buddy comedy that focuses most of the laughs at the age of the protagonists, such as too many tablets to take, detachment from modern society and hip, prostate or other age related medical conditions. Throw in an age old complication of rivalry over a previous lover and the plot is complete.
The thing is; although formulaic and predictable, this actually works, and works well.
An easy to watch, very funny (in parts) comedy with great actors.
For me, Morgan Freeman steals the show as usual and Robert De Niro playing Robert De Niro, a grumpy, sour, scowling old man...brilliant!
If you are under 25 stick with The Hangover (but stay away from the terrible sequels), for the over 25's this is a heartfelt and humorous film you will enjoy
One thing for sure, this really made me want to go back to Vegas!
