A Must See: Last Vegas


This movie, filled with legendary actors like Robert De Niro, Michael Douglas, Morgan Freeman and Kevin Kline, will have viewers laughing and crying from beginning to end.

The story is about a group of friends in their sixties who travel to Las Vegas for a "wild weekend" to celebrate their buddy's engagement.

 Each character in this heartwarming comedy had their own humorous, yet touching story that a lot of older viewers will be able to relate to, like over protective children, grieving widowers and young at heart men who can't seem to find true love.

As I was watching this movie, I kept thinking of The Hangover. It was like a glimpse into the future for Phil, Stu and Alan. One scene in particular brought me back to the scenario in the first movie when the dynamic trio was passed out in their hotel room with a tiger hiding in their bathroom.

But unlike The Hangover, there were not as many extremes. The trouble these friends got into was more relatable which made the movie that much more fun to watch. And like every good movie there was conflict and a surprising twist.

Overall, I felt this was a very creative movie that could not only attract the interest of an older crowd but also spark hilarity among younger generations.
