From Product Description:

John Travolta and Robin Williams star in Old Dogs, the hilarious family comedy that will have you howling. Two best friends have their lives turned upside down when they're unexpectedly charged with the care of seven-year-old twins while on the verge of the biggest business deal of their lives. The clueless bachelors stumble in their efforts to take care of the children, leading to one debacle after another, with a gorilla and some pecking penguins -- and perhaps to a newfound understanding of what's really important in life. Featuring a riotously funny supporting cast including Seth Green, Kelly Preston, Matt Dillon and Lori Laughlin, Old Dogs is a laugh-a-minute comedy filled with heart.

Bonus Features Include Deleted Scenes, Audio Commentary By Director Walt Becker, Producer Andrew Panay And Writers David Diamond And David Weissman

From Amazon.com:

Who says you can't teach Old Dogs new tricks? Robin Williams and John Travolta are the old, single "dogs" in question, reveling in great chemistry as lifelong pals who've together grown a successful marketing empire--but who have somehow managed to avoid ever really growing up. The cast, featuring Travolta's real wife, Kelly Preston (who, with costar Rita Wilson, reveals just how fine a comedian she is, and how the screen really sparkles when she's on it), and his real-life daughter Ella Bleu, is top-notch. Other great performances include Bernie Mac, a sultry Lori Loughlin, Matt Dillon, and a dynamite Seth Green as a mini-mogul in training. The plot revolves around the Old Dogs' suddenly needing to care for twin 7-year-olds (the heretofore unknown children of Williams's character, Dan) and finding that they learn as much from the kids as vice versa. Moans Dan to Travolta's Charlie, after awkwardly tucking in the kids for the night at Charlie's bachelor pad, "I just shook hands goodnight with my daughter." Old Dogs is a fun family film that's appropriate for ages 8 and up, with enough jokes and great timing to please grownups too. --A.T. Hurley

OLD STYLE COMEDY FUN

08/29/2010

<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.

Great for a Laugh

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.

Disappointing

08/23/2010

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 />

Not a good Dog to Watch

08/19/2010

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.

a new low in any number of careers

08/19/2010

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.
