Entertainment : 'Las Vegas' brings old favorites to Palace screen

I’ve been repeatedly stopped on the street and in the Fareway aisles by Palace patrons anxiously awaiting the arrival of “Last Vegas!”  Clear your calendars, everybody – this “Wild Hogs” meets “The Hangover” comedy adventure hits our silver screen on Friday, November 15 through Thursday, November 21 at 7 pm, and Monday, November 18 at 2 pm.

Four friends, portrayed by blockbuster superstars Michael Douglas, Morgan Freeman, Kevin Kline, and Robert De Niro, organize a final bachelor fling in Vegas for their single friend the night before his wedding.  What could possible go wrong?

This movie runs 90 minutes and is rated PG-13.  There’s been a lot of press the past few weeks surrounding the growing trend toward more violence in PG-13 films.  A PG-13 rating is always of concern to me, however usually due to the borderline sexual content. 

“Last Vegas” is no exception.  Kids-in-mind.com gives this senior citizen romp high ratings - meaning lots of sex, violence, and profanity.  I do know it was originally rated R, which means they probably took out one F-word and called it good.  Adults, enjoy a raucous evening out, but leave the kids at home.

Due to the high interest generated by “Last Vegas,” I recommend purchasing your tickets in advance.  You may stop at the box office any evening to buy your tickets for a later date, or reserve your seats online at www.vintonpalace.org.

Special thanks to Art Fine, who expertly penned “In Depth” for me throughout the past two months while I took a break to devote my energy to the high school musical.  I know you all missed my clever and insightful reviews that are more prediction than review, but it was nice to take a break.

See you at Sin City!
