Life long friends deciding to risk it all for their loved ones

I can relate! I see myself along with my besties at a ripe old age, risking it all! We do crazy things now, I can only image what we’ll be willing to do later in life! At 21 years old we thought it would be funny to celebrate that my best friend and I got home at 2am. We stuffed our pockets with confetti and as my husband lay there sleeping we starting hooting and hollering as we threw the confetti at him…. he wasn’t amused! Another time we took a girl’s trip to Atlantic City, ran out of money, had my husband wire us money (this was way before tech). We then spent that and on our way home we scrapped change from the floor of the car to pay the tolls on the way home. We didn’t have any change left at the last toll and got an IOU (again before tech). To this day we always have fun. Having fun, laughing, and letting go keeps you young! 
I was invited to NYC for the premiere of Going In Style at the SVA Theatre and the after party. 
I have gone to premieres but this one was special, it was an honor to be among so many Hollywood Legends! Each have played characters that have made a moment in time freeze for me. There are lines from movies that they each made famous and are still quoted today. One that I use often is, “Get busy living or Get busy dying!” ~ Morgan Freeman
Going In Style will add to the lines that will be remembered. 
Ann Margaret will teach us that life does not end at a certain age!
GOING IN STYLE – See It In Theaters Everywhere April 7
Oscar winners Morgan Freeman (“Million Dollar Baby”), Michael Caine (“The Cider House Rules,” “Hannah and Her Sisters”) and Alan Arkin (“Little Miss Sunshine”) team up as lifelong buddies Willie, Joe and Al, 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, in director Zach Braff’s comedy “Going in Style.”
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.
Legendary Cast
Starring Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine, Alan Arkin, Ann-Margret, Joey King, with Matt Dillon and Christopher Lloyd
Donald DeLine, producer of Going In Style, was asked how he was able to get all these legends in one film. He said he still wasn’t sure. Morgan Freeman added in, “He promised to pay us, it was good money!”
The After Party
A wonderful celebration was held at the La Sirena with food galore from amazing appetizers to a full course buffet. The food was amazing and our wine glass was always full! The cast mixed with guests and then spent time celebrating with family and friends. I also got to spend some time with some amazing friends; Zippy, Dina, and Holly! 
I have to add that I got to have a conversation with Christopher Llyod and he is as nice as every character he played. I was waiting for him to break out into Doc or Jim but he was Christopher and so happy to be at his party. Ann Margaret was just as beautiful in person as on screen and 100% class act. It was an honor to be in their presence!

OMG, that is so cool! I can’t believe what an opportunity that was. I’m jelly like Smuckers!
How amazing is that?! I can’t even believe it. I am thoroughly looking forward to this movie just for the cast. I can’t believe you got to be in their presence.
This movie looks awesome. I am really looking forward to seeing it.
Wow, it’s so cool that you were able to hear from the actors themselves. I think this might be a movie I see on a date night!
What an awesome VIP type experience! This movie looks great and the cast could not be any more perfect.
This looks like such a cool VIP event. And what a great movie this will be.
What a fun event! This looks like a movie my father-in-law would thoroughly enjoy! Great actors, too.
I just can’t get over the number of movies that are coming out. All of them are very good movies, including this one Going In Style. I am happy for your experience of being able to meet the cast. That must have been so exciting!
That sounds like a great movie to see! Sounds like it was a fun event to attend as well.
Totally cool! I get invited to those movie premieres all the time. But it always ends up in NYC or LA, and I’m here all the way in Washington, DC so I never make it. BTW, I saw the trailer of the movie.. it looks fun!
This looks like a fab movie! Wow, what an honor to get to be among some of the greats!
I am honestly jealous. so many of these actors are on the top of my favorite list.
That’s a fun even to have attended. It’s cool that Matt Dillon is in there. I haven’t seen him in a movie in forever!
I think its amazing you got a chance to go to the red carpet screening for this film. I havent heard of it until I read this blog but now I am actually interested in watching this. Reminds me a little bit of that movie The Bucketlist! You were amongst legendary actors and actresses I am excited for you and thanks for the amazing recap!
