This is a feel good movie. It is The Hangover movie for the over 40’s. And I loved every moment of it.
It is full of acting royalty. Michael Douglas, Kevin Kline, Morgan Freeman and of course Robert DeNiro.
And the script is outstanding. It is funny without having to resort to being
crude or disgusting such as the sequels to The Hangover film.
I cannot say who the demographic is for this film as the age
range in the cinema varied from about eight years to 80! This is not what I would call a family film,
but it is certainly much milder than some of the other options out there at the
moment.
The story is a familiar one. One guy of four friends is getting married in
Vegas and they have to throw him a bachelor party. (Stag do to us Englanders!).
It is an adventure of a weekend but with heart and soul –
which Bridesmaids and Hangover do not have. Maybe I am just getting old. But I loved this film. It was a predictable story but with fantastic
performances, fantastic script and heart – I cannot recommend it highly enough.
It is a fantasy film – Because a 20 year old pretty young
thing would never go with a married 60 something guy unless he was a
millionaire and single. Also how many of
you get free accommodation in Vegas? Yeah,
thought so. It is pure fantasy but ideal
for a wet January weekend.
Go cheer yourself up and see this. It will be a refreshing change from Mandela,
The Railway Man and 12 years a slave.
