What to Know

Critics Consensus

Its cast tries hard, but Old Dogs is a predictable, nearly witless attempt at physical comedy and moral uplift that misses the mark on both counts.

Adam Woodward Little White Lies 03/22/2010

This is only 90 minutes but it felt like five hours. None of the characters were likable and the story was nonsensical. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
