    #265moviereview Filmsky 📽️ OLD DADS Older dads try to deal with younger people’s sensibilities. I love Bill Burr’s standup & looked forward to this. Unfortunately, while funny in parts, it shouldn’t be divisive because it just is not the movie it should have been. It just drags SKIP IT 2/5

    Just got off the phone with my dad after piecing together what actually happened. My dad: I'm watching that Old Dogs movie with our pal Burnsy. [Me, on the case for 15 min] Me: Do you mean Old Dads with Bill Burr? My dad: THAT'S WHAT I SAID!!!

    Holy crap, I usually like Bill Burr's stand up and I think he's a solid actor, but I could only make it like 20 minutes into Old Dads before noping out. That dialogue had all the charm of a Ben Shapiro joint and everything else felt like a early 2000s TV movie.

    My partner didn't believe me when I said the #1 movie on Netflix was a thing called OLD DADS until I showed them the title picture online. "Did you want to watch that," Pardner asked with some trepidation? "Fk no. I don't even want to watch the trailer." And so that's how OLD DADS made us laugh.

    Just wasted nearly 2 hours of my life watching Old Dads. I laughed a whole 3 times and was embarrassed for the guy who wrote the movie The entire time. Turns out it was Bill Burr so I guess I shouldn't be surprised it was reactionary drivel

    I'm not a film buff. I enjoy a lot of films that most people think aren't much good, so with that in my mind.. I thoroughly enjoyed watching "Old Dads".. Haven't laughed like that in a long while. Thank you Bill Burr 👍🤣🤣🤣

    Burr clearly proves my point. I never thought he was funny, Old Dads being a great example, terrible movie with flat humor, until he started punching up and standing up for the marginalized. Then he blew it all in Riyad and hasn't recovered because he feels victimized. So "cope" is pure projection.

    I don't think my reach is attached to any hook. I ain't seen any of his stand-up, just watched/read a few of his interviews and the film Old Dads which he wrote & directed. I also know that the guy's been on Rogan 12 times, but not since 2020. You think you know for certain. Fine.

    Acting was boring, by the numbers and uninspired. The script was apparently written by AI. Inputs included: Stereotypical grumpy old men + Diversity + Safe boring jokes + Predictable ending. I really wish I hadn't wasted my time.

    Absolutely. Oligarchic. At the same time there’s an aspect of (some) gen x dudes that they have recruited to strengthen their (disinformed) side that feeds into the whole domination rapey vibe aspect, linked to the manosphere culture of shows like Joe Rogan, and reflected in the movie Old Dads.

    It's not uncommon for critics and audiences to have differing opinions on movies, and it's understandable that you may not agree with the harsh reviews of a film that you found to be enjoyable. Your positive perspective on the movie highlights its strengths in humor, entertainment value, and storytelling. It's great to hear that you found the film to be funny and hilarious throughout, keeping you entertained and engaged from start to finish. The comedic elements and the portrayal of older dads…

    366 Days of Film. Day 139 - Old Dads. "How old do you think I am?" "49." "How do you know that?" "The neck". A trio of old dads clash with modern sensibilities and come unmoored. If you know Bill Burr, you know this film. Laugh out loud in parts, maudlin in others, a good way to pass a couple hours.

    I recently watched Old Dads. It was okay, it felt like a low tier Judd Apatow movie. Overall it's a decent start for Bill Burr as director and I'm curious to see what types of movies he makes next.

  • Louisa Moore - Screen Zealots @screenzealotsTMDB reviews · Nov 3, 2023

    R-rated comedy “Old Dads” is not particularly bad and not particularly good, but it is entertaining, disposable entertainment. Directed and co-written by comedian Bill Burr, the film has some funny (if sometimes stale) jokes and a watered-down premise that makes it mostly a throwaway. In other words, it’s your typical mass-produced Netflix movie. Best friends and business partners Jack (Burr), Connor (Bobby Cannavale), and Mike (Bokeem Woodbine) became fathers later in life. The trio finds that…

    I have no idea how Bokeem Woodbine, who did an absolutely incredible job in Fargo, got attached to this Old Dads movie. I made it exactly 21 minutes in and shut it off and I will pretty much watch anything.

    I'm conflicted. I totally resonate with Bill Burr's character in Old Dads. But then I also get the hippie teachers and gentle parents in the same film. I feel like I'm a generational Alcibiades.

    Bill Burr has a white wife in the film Old Dads because he thought it would be bad optics to be Bill Burring at a mixed child.
