“going in style” $100 visa giveaway!

Going In Style

Thanks to Warner Bros. Pictures for sponsoring this post. All
opinions are, as always, 100% mine.

Three of my favorite actors are starring together in a new movie, and I can’t wait to see it!

Oscar winners Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine and Alan Arkin team up  in director Zach Braff’’s Going in Style, a comedy about lifelong buddies who decide to buck retirement and step off the straight-and-narrow for the first time in their lives when their pension fund becomes a corporate casualty. Desperate to pay the bills and come through for their loved ones, the three risk it all by embarking on a daring bid to knock off the very bank that absconded with their money.

Amazingly, this sounds like a very timely story and one that we will likely all be cheering.

This movie resonates with me on so many levels — not that I’m planning on holding up any banks, let me make clear for anyone searching my internet history!

Going in StyleI love the idea of old friends making outrageous memories together (a certain night at BlogHer comes to mind here) and I love the fact that age doesn’t stop these guys from their adventure. In fact, it might even encourage them.

  14. Can’t wait to see GOING IN STYLE. Love Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman, and Alan Arkin! They always make me laugh! I was reading that in the movie, they didn’t think they were retirement robbing, just getting their money back from the Bank and then giving any extra money to people who needed help. This is a modern day “Robbin Hood” movie. Can’t wait to see it! Please pick me, I would love to see this movie in style! I believe I have been a member of your website since 2010 or 2011.
