In the summer of ’65, four friends make a mad dash to Vegas to get married before midnight to avoid facing the Vietnam draft.

So they are 2 couples, and it's a speed race. I like it, but for those who are not familiar with the story It could be useful to specify that they are 2 couples in my opinion. I Still think that if it's a comedy, they could be 4 boys that travel to vegas as many couples did to avoid the draft but they have to find the girls too. Very difficult and more heroic!

>>>But, many husbands were drafted.

IF they married after August 26, 1965 (in which case they no longer qualified for the marriage deferment).

But, many husbands were drafted. You should put it that they get married in Vegas and flee to Canada to avoid the Vietnam draft.

Best to make it about one guy if the story ends after the marriage goal.
However if this story goes on after the marriage goal or is planned for a sequel better to have 4 guys. Look at Big Wednesday where there are four friends 3 try and dodge the draft 1 fails and is forced to enlist and 1 enlists on his own merits.
The group dynamic creates a dramatic premise when the friend that was forced to enlist dies and the one who wanted to enlist returns home.

I'm not sure if this story extends beyond the marriage goal or not but it sods like a good premise the logline needs clarification as to the exact end point of the story. Also as mentioned above by Lee and DPG it also needs clarity regarding who the group of friends are exactly.

Hope this helps.

Good point, Lee Brooks. Is it about 4 guys trying to get married to 4 girls or 2 couples? And why not just focus on 1 guy trying to convince and transport 1 girl to Vegas before midnight? If it's 4 guys, then there is the danger that the audiences emotional investment (cathexis) in the final answer to the dramatic question becomes divided 4 ways instead of concentrated/invested in one couple for maximum dramatic effect (catharsis).
