Shane O Good fun worth a watch , it misers that mark on a few jokes but over all enjoyable Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/20/25 Full Review Russell H He was funny in this but I wish it didn't take itself so seriously at times. Could have been way funnier without a message. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/20/25 Full Review Kilpa E Old Dads is funny. Some critics are taking it too seriously. True, the film doesn't say much that hasn't been said before, but it doesn't need to. It's a steady serving of laughs. The pacing is iffy at times and the runtime is on the long side for a romp, but the length is justified by the three-act structure that sees each subplot through. Granted, this is not the culmination of cinema. The Netflix-style close-up to close-up coverage can get tiring during dialogue. The family drama might feel less conventional if it was allowed to breathe like a stage play, which Katie Aselton and Bill Burr could certainly pull off. As it is, the threat of blandness is still mostly defused by convincing acting. The ensemble cast is solid throughout and the main characters well-written. Miles Robbins is an unexpected highlight as the millennial villain. The Gen Z characters can sound like caricatures, but this is an egalitarian film: no one's safe, and the old dads are often just as ridiculous. Burr delivers regular laughs in the classic comic's role, an asshole version of himself — although Jack isn't a comedian but an everyman entrepreneur with dubiously good mic technique. The script Burr co-wrote sometimes serves as a prop basket for his tirades, but the film knows when he's the asshole. If you look past the f-bombs and coarse hilarity, Old Dads carries a genuinely warm undertone of familial love. Definitely worth a watch, but I'm a biased long-time listener just checking in on ya.

Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/28/25 Full Review Michael Y What a great comedic statement about the growing cultural divide in America. What is even more interesting are the pompous critics who slam the film because it hits too close to their thin skin. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/13/25 Full Review Diogo F When a movie delivers on its promises it can never be a miss. Critics will tell you that this is no cinema classic piece and to them I say "no sh*t sherlock", it's a Bill Burr film. Its great entertainment, good jokes, great laughs and a "I don't give a damn" attitude for people who would feel offended by it... Great! Someone has to!
