Don't go by the reviews - or even the trailers - for this one. It is lots better than either will tell you. I expected a stupid movie, and this is not at all what this movie is. Sure, it's got it's "stupid" parts. But those are few and far between the hilarious antics these five old friends (and their families) go through. I laughed out loud. A lot. Over and over.

These five guys have been closest of friends in a small New England community since childhood. They have all gone their ways, but still have a strong bond. The glue that holds them together is the big basketball championship they won when they were 12, and the coach they all adored. Upon his death thirty years later, they all converge at the funeral with their respective families. They continue from the funeral to a cabin on a lake in the same area where they grew up, spending a week together....spouses, kids, and even a spare mother-in-law and family dog.

It's fun and funny, heartwarming and thoughtful. You really believe that these guys are friends, that the wives and kids bond with each other, and you wish you were one of them, along for the ride. Loved it.
