      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.

      Emilliano Jr S One of the Disney's worst. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 09/10/23 Full Review omotest G Williams and Travolta are fine actors, but their careers have taken a turn for the worse in recent years. This comedy, starring the two of them together, is no exception. It's nice to see big-name actors being amusing. (It's probably the only place you'll ever see Travolta with a drawn face.) However, their hilarious energy doesn't play much of a role in this film. As is often the case in comedies with gorgeous actors (Meet the Fockers. I don't care about the rest.) the producers are so convinced that the movie will sell that they even adopt silly ideas without thinking too hard. Rita Wilson as a hand model who gets her hand caught in the trunk of a Volvo, two people getting bear **** on their faces, Seth Green getting hugged by a gorilla - did you like any of these gags? (They're all silly ideas. I do like Seth Green getting hugged by a gorilla, though.) The gorgeous actors are buried under these unimaginative laughs. The first part of the film may be fast developing and fun. But since the theme is children, the fast pace is lost and the focus is primarily on the child and their lives together. The child interferes with work, the child sends e-mails to clients without permission, the child switches places on medications that have strong side effects, the child, the child, the child ... the child ... the child ... the child ... the child ... the child. Kids don't do much interesting stuff. In this kind of movie, if the kid gets sick of it, it's no longer good enough. Williams and Travolta's hilarious energy and the other great actors are buried in the film's silly gag ideas. And the kids, who don't do much of anything funny, are too depressing. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 07/07/23 Full Review Williams and Travolta's hilarious energy and the other great actors are buried in the film's silly gag ideas. And the kids, who don't do much of anything funny, are too depressing. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 12/24/22 Full Review Audience Member Underrated movie. A good time with Travolta and Williams. Fun family movie Rated 3 out of 5 stars 12/09/22 Full Review Audience Member This Disney comedy was great. Robin Williams, John Travolta, Kelly Preston, Seth Green, Lori Loughlin, Ella Bleu Travolta, Conner Rayburn, and the rest of the cast did a great job in this movie. The story of the movie was entertaining and humorous. It's about taking care of children you never knew you had in a funny way. If you haven't seen this movie yet, check it out sometime. Don't listen to the bad reviews this movie got, those people have terrible tastes in movies. It's a great movie for an entire family. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member I don't care what other people say I laughed my butt of at this movie. I know I am late to the party on this one but movies are about entertainment, not critics and I was very entertained. that's all you need to know. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Nell Minow Movie Mom Rated: D Feb 18, 2012 Full Review Ben Kenigsberg Time Out Rated: 1/5 Nov 17, 2011 Full Review Adam Woodward Little White Lies The jokes are played painfully safe and not even the fleeting presence of a few a name faces detracts from the sheer inanity of the plot and outright creepiness of the film's central pairing. Mar 22, 2010 Full Review Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com Irritatingly unfunny. Rated: 1.5/4.0 Sep 18, 2020 Full Review Micheal Compton Bowling Green Daily News It all plods along to a familiar happy ending that is supposed to leave its audience feeling warm and fuzzy. I'll admit the ending made me happy, because it signaled the end to this miserable movie. Rated: F May 11, 2019 Full Review John Hanlon Big Hollywood A cringe-worthy crude comedy that has more bark than bite. Rated: 0.5/5 Sep 17, 2012 Full Review Read all reviews
