Billy (Academy Award -winner Michael Douglas), Paddy (Academy Award -winner Robert De Niro), Archie (Academy Award -winner Morgan Freeman) and Sam (Academy Award -winner Kevin Kline) have been best friends since childhood. So when Billy, the group's sworn bachelor, finally proposes to his thirty-something (of course) girlfriend, the four head to Las Vegas with a plan to stop acting their age and relive their glory days. However, upon arriving, the four quickly realize that the decades have transformed Sin City and tested their friendship in ways they never imagined. The Rat Pack may have once played the Sands and Cirque du Soleil may now rule the Strip, but it's these four who are taking over Vegas.

Four of the old gang survived to old age. Billy (Michael Douglas) proposed marriage to a woman half his age. She accepts, and now it is time for the rest of the gang to throw a bachelor party. Where else but Las Vegas? Will the curmudgeons see their final day or show us some unexpected moves?
Even though the writing is on the wall, we get to party hardy with the gang as the story plays out.
This is a good example of when everything goes well. The actors are all winners and do not outperform the characters. There is drama, pathos, and comic relief. We have fancy digs and tasty women. Speaking about women, no one told me that Mary Steenburgen, in the persona of a singer named Diana, was the linchpin that holds the focus of the story.
