Billy (Michael Douglas), Paddy (Robert De Niro), Archie (Morgan Freeman) ja Sam (Kevin Kline) ovat olleet ystäviä lapsuudesta saakka. Kun ikuinen poikamies Billy vihdoin kosii kolmekymppistä – tietenkin – tyttöystäväänsä, nelikko ottaa suunnaksi Las Vegasin tarkoituksenaan palata nuoruutensa päiviin vielä kerran. Saavuttuaan perille he joutuvat kuitenkin pian huomaamaan, että vuosikymmenet ovat paitsi muuttaneet Sin Cityä myös koetelleet heidän ystävyyttään tavoilla, joita he eivät ole osanneet kuvitellakaan. Tulossa on legendaarinen reissu. (Finnkino)

If I was a director, I’d rather shoot nothing than these harmless banal flicks blatantly advocating positive values, which would end up with a “TV film” label if it wasn’t for the expensive cast. The four acting aces are of course super likable, but the story’s too lame for words.

I love these types of movies when it’s painfully obvious that the American filmmaking elite has only made a movie to spend some of the excess dollars in their budgets by the end of the year that they’ve got left from making other movies. Nothing happens in the movie at all. Some ace actors get together to play blackjack in Vegas, they drink some twelve-year-old Tullamore Dew and suddenly the end credits start rolling, everyone gets up and goes to their families.

It's terribly cliché, terribly predictable, but I still can't help it, these movies where they take a slightly detached view of old age just work for me. Moreover, with this amazing cast, when I didn't even realize Kevin Kline is close to seventy, I was simply thrilled. I laughed, I enjoyed myself, a pleasant evening spent. Nothing much more, but sometimes even this is enough.
