Awesome Last Vegas released on DVD!

With ample time to travel the globe, it’s no longer just exploring the hidden gems of Australia, or a luxury cruise in the South Pacific that tickles Baby Boomers’ fancy. A new survey has revealed that Baby Boomers are proving that age is just a number, with many creating ‘before I kick the bucket lists’ to fulfil during their golden retirement years. One of the top items? Travelling into space aboard Richard Branson’s Virgin Galactic.

The study, commissioned by Universal Sony Pictures Home Entertainment to mark the release of heartwarming comedy Last Vegas, also found that despite their taste for exploration, younger Australians are still judging a book by its cover, with half of grey nomads claiming that the younger generation are substantially underestimating the resourcefulness and willingness of their elders, to live life to the fullest.

The survey reveals Baby Boomers are a generation of Adventurers – open to new experiences and more intrepid in comparison to their younger counterparts. Nine out of 10 (90%) have a passion for adventure, whether it’s space travel, living abroad for an extended period of time, or acquiring a new hobby, Baby Boomers are thirsty for the new and exciting.

There is an ongoing stereotype that older generations are over the hill and are living life in the slow lane – but the truth couldn’t be more opposite.

The guys in Last Vegas are still trying to figure out the secrets to life and the key to success just like the rest of us.

We may have a few more smile lines and grey hairs, but our mental age is far younger than our physical age. We’re just as mentally fit and open to experiencing new things as everyone else.

So many of us are passionate about adventure and travel so we shouldn’t stop ourselves from giving life a go and doing all of the things we’ve always wanted.

After working tirelessly to secure a good future for their children and live a comfortable life, boomers are now letting their hair down and celebrating life like never before. Spending their children’s nest egg on ticking off their bucket list, Baby Boomers are creating experiences and memories which are more akin to the behaviours you’d expect to see from their children, and for some, even their grandchildren!

Last Vegas is available on Blu-ray, DVD, Digital and UltraViolet from June 12. It stars awesome over 60s actors including Morgan Freeman, Michael Douglas, Robert DiNero, Kevin Kline and John Turteltaub.
