<br /> <br />This is a movie with the feel of an old fashion Disney movie, but designed for the modern expanded definition of family. Seven years ago Robin Williams got divorced. His buddy, John Travolta takes him to South Beach where Williams meets a girl, gets drunk, gets married, then has it annulled. However Williams still has feelings for his one night wife and after 7 years writes her a letter. They meet and he finds out he is the father of her two children. Through a series of circumstances, Williams agrees to watch his estranged kids for 2 weeks. Travolta aids Williams as they attempt to play dad with disasterous results. The jokes are a bit trite and much of the humor is slap stick. Most adults will find something to enjoy in the film while they watch it with their kids. The theme of the movie is that friends, love, and family are the most important things in life and together we can work through anything.
This DVD arrived in perfect condition and rather a fast delivery. I would always buy from this seller in the future. The movie is nothing buy laughs. Great cast. Perfect family movie that will make all just laugh so much. Good to buy with this seller and also about the lowest price on the market.
This movie, although chock full of great talent, was a sad misfire. The parts of the movie that made me laugh were few and far between, however, when I did laugh, I just couldn't stop! There were maybe 3 scenes that were just fantastic. I can't imagine what happened to the rest of the movie! <br /> <br />I thought the family dynamics a bit hard to explain to little ones. I thought the mother being incarcerated for 2 weeks was difficult as well. Robin Williams has never disappointed me so I thought I was in for some fun, despite the difficult family layout, however, it wasn't worth the 10 minute explanation I had to go through. <br /> <br />Disney should stick to animated movies and leave the divorce, single guy out on the town and other such topics for the sitcoms and drama shows on reality television. <br /> <br />
This movie has 2 of the most talented Men ever.How could they make a film like this?Travolta kept bragging how talented his daughter was in the movie,and she hardly speaks a word,and the scenes move so fast your head is spinning.There are so many great films staring John Travolta and Robin Williams.This is not one of them.
In the insufferable and unwatchable "Old Dogs," John Travolta and Robin Williams play longtime Manhattan business partners who've been best friends since high school. One's a superannuated swinging bachelor (I'll let you guess which); the other's a divorced commitment-phobe who suddenly discovers that he's the father of two fraternal twins from a woman (Kelly Preston) he briefly married, then got an annulment from, seven years earlier. Now that the kids are in his life, Williams is learning what it means to be a daddy - movie-comedy style, that is. <br /> <br />I guess there must be an audience out there for these dumbed-down daddy-day-care scenarios, featuring grown men who are more childish and immature than the kids they`re involved with, but, frankly, I don't get the appeal. Suffice it to say, the script - a gruesome combination of painfully contrived setups, unfunny jokes, teeth-grinding sentimentality and stunningly desperate slapstick routines - feels as if it were written by a not particularly gifted third-grader; the direction is low-grade and cheesy, and the acting consists of little more than nonstop mugging for the camera. It even employs the oldest family-comedy standby of them all: a cutesy dog for cutaway reaction shots that are somehow supposed to make the whole thing even more side-splitting and hilarious than it already is. (And, in deference to their careers, we hesitate to even mention that Bernie Mac, Ann-Margret, and Matt Dillon drop in for some ill-advised cameos, which I`m sure they`ve since come to regret). <br /> <br />This may not be the worst movie ever made by either Travolta or Williams, but it's certainly right down there vying for the title. An embarrassment for all concerned, the pooch included.
