You gotta hand it to crap director Jon Turteltaub (The Sorcerer’s Apprentice, National Treasure). It takes some kind of talent to get Oscar winners Michael Douglas, Robert De Niro, Morgan Freeman, Kevin Kline and Mary Steenburgen together for a comedy and then give them nothing entertaining to do. Four aging pals go to Vegas to celebrate the
last single guy finally getting married—to someone half his age. It’s one contrived, surprise-free, stupefyingly unfunny sit-com bit after another. For what it’s worth, these veterans looked like they were having fun. The audience looked like it was not. (103 min)
