Well, you know what you are going to get, right?  The previews clued you pretty quickly that this is The Bucket List meets The Hangover.

So, no discussion then of plot or character development.  Is it funny?

Well, certainly the potential is there in a cast that includes some of Hollywood's heavy hitters- Michael (looking like Kirk) Douglas, Morgan Freeman, Kevin Kline and Robert DeNiro.

Certainly, we know what to expect, and looking at the resumes (especially DeNiro, who has been doing a lot of these types of movies in recent years), you still can't say anything for certain.

The answer is "Yes".  It's very funny.  Clearly, it's because of the cast, but credit to the writers for putting snappy one-liner after last.  The plot is very predictable (and you know the guys are going to judge a bikini contest, throw a party, etc), but things move in such a way that you never get bored on the trip to the final destination.

One of the better comedies I have seen in awhile, and it lives up to its full potential (It really could have been terrible, you know?)
