James A i really liked the bill burr's character Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/11/24 Full Review David W Both sides of these reviews have valid points but simply saying “this captures the generational divide” falls short of what goes on in the movie. Bill Burr is actually more subtle than one might expect in his ability to show that there are both positives and negatives with every generation. By going to the extremes, like so many people seem to do, we lose the best of both worlds. By contrasting them so starkly in the beginning and finding the balance at the end, Bill Burr shows us a picture of someone who can embrace both sides of arguments and gives us a breath of fresh air in a world that is so divisive. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 09/27/24 Full Review matthias s "Old Dads" is exactly what you'd expect from a Bill Burr movie, and that's both its strength and its weakness. Burr's signature comedic style shines through, and if you're a fan of his stand-up, you'll enjoy the film's humor. It feels like an extension of his personality, with rants and irreverence at the forefront. The film made me laugh out loud a few times, but the plot itself is thin and doesn't go beyond surface-level exploration. It almost feels like one of Burr's shows stretched into a movie, and it probably would've worked better as a sketch series on TV. Still, I was entertained, and the pacing kept things moving. While it may lack emotional depth or a strong storyline, it delivers what you'd expect from Burr: blunt humor and unapologetic jokes. For Bill Burr fans, it's worth watching for the laughs alone. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/20/24 Full Review Ed R I wish I could give this 0 stars. Horrible comedy. Terrible plot. Would not recommend. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/16/24 Full Review Audience Member Burr manages to make a strawman out of a dead horse and then promptly beat the poor animal's remains into a bloody, lifeless pulp. Riddled with clichés and stereotypes, Old Dads attempts to paint those in younger generations as overly-sensitive caricatures, painting himself as a crotchety old man who can never shut his mouth, with the very same brush. Burr tries desperately to write himself as some sort of hero of a passed-by generation but completely fails to hit the mark, instead coming off as an angry and ignorant man, completely unwilling and/or incapable of listening to somebody that doesn't already entirely agree with him. He tries to make a mockery of those younger than him, all while completely glossing over the fact that folks his age felt the exact same way about his generation when he was young. Not a single second goes by where he isn't reminding you of the supposed gap between his generation and those younger than his, all while creating exaggerated and unrealistic scenarios. Scenarios that would be equally mocked by 90% of those who belong to the very generations he's trying so hard to tear down. Everything he attempts to mock is perpetrated by characters who feel like they were based of angry Tweets, and not any actual real person Bill has actually met or spoken to. With the exception of a few rare laughs, none of which stem from his very tired and overplayed brand of generational humor, Old Dads proves Burr to be a one-trick pony, entirely incapable of writing a joke that isn't attempting to debase another person. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 09/04/24 Full Review Faiz A Best movie to describe the difference between our generation and So called Gen-Z Generation.
