Last Vegas is a watered down version of The Hangover with a shot of Grumpy Old Men. Last Vegas is about the reunion of four friends, now in their 60's, and high jinks that ensue. The friends who refer to themselves as the "Flatbush Four" reunite to have a bachelor party for the last bachelor of the group, Billy. Billy, played by Micheal Douglas, the aging playboy is faced with his mortality at the funeral of a friend and on a whim proposes to his latest girlfriend, who is half his age. The rest of the gang go to Vegas to support him but also to escape the misery of their current situations. Sam (Kevin Klein) is revved and rearing to go on the Vegas vacation from his retirement hell in Florida. As an added bonus, Sam's wife gives him a going away present - a little blue pill and a condom. Archie (Morgan Freeman) who suffered a stroke and is in the care of his overprotective son, is more than willing to "party like it's 1959" but must sneak out of the house to do so. The foursome is completed by Paddy (Robert De Niro) who has become bitter mourning the passing of his wife.
