Critics Consensus

With Old Dads, Bill Burr shows signs of promise as a filmmaker -- but they're largely muffled by his fitfully funny screenplay's reliance on tired jokes about generational divides.

Audience Says

If you're a Bill Burr fan, then Old Dads' brand of culture clash comedy should be good for plenty of solid laughs.

The writing sometimes collapses into overkill, but sometimes it is precisely on point.

Rather than challenge himself, Burr instead uses the film to adapt his schtick into a three-hander bro comedy addressing the generational divide regarding modern mores and language.

A boorish and obnoxiously vulgar comedy that, since it can’t claim any other great distinction, might well have been expressly written to break the all-time record for use of the f-word in the major studio movie.

It’s well-made, if nearly entirely predictable, and because Burr essentially just transplanted his stand-up set straight into Jack’s mouth, it’s often laugh-out-loud funny.

To even call Old Dads a movie feels like a gross overstatement as it hardly meets the requirements to be considered one. Instead, it is like a series of recycled stand-up bits that Burr has already done better before. Here, he just bombs over and over.

Bill Burr looks like he's doing stand-up during most of it. Bobby Cannavale is hilarious in a very broad, crazy, zany kind of way...

Freaking hilarious. True to our day and age. A bit predictable but that’s the genre of the movie: an easy going comedy with no filters

This movie had three different plots running at the same time. The writing was chaotic and it just did NOT flow. I love Bill Burr and his humor, but there was not much of it throughout the movie.

All around pretty fun movie, especially for Netflix standards.. This movie is definitely worth a watch! Don't let critics negative reviews sway you away.

I think it’s an alright movie. I love Bill Burr as a comedian but I always have to take him with a grain of salt. This movie is just very political and most of the takes seem very “old head- right wing”. Very old school, overused jokes and takes. Some parts had me laughing , others had me rolling my eyes. Some of it seems pretty forced to fit the narrative. If you don’t like Bill Burr , this movie is definitely not for you. I am part of younger millennial, elder gen z demographic and although I found a lot of the jokes refreshing and funny, I also found my self viewing this as if my grandpa made a movie on his political views.

This movie pissed me off. It's so boring, and the ending is just straight up infuriating. Once again, bad job, Netflix.
