Old Dogs Film Critique
Walt Becker’s 2009 comedy Old Dogs probably has let me down the most out of all the movies that I have seen lately. From the previews I had a lot of high hopes that this movie would be good with both John Travolta and Robin Williams leading the way. However, I didn’t like how Robin Williams played the more serious of the two while the wild and funny role was played by John Travolta. Williams has always been the funnier of the two by far and it really hurt the movie that he wasn’t chosen for the role in this movie.
The movie tried to help add to the comedy by adding other comedy stars like Matt Dillon, Bernie Mac, and Seth Green to the cast but the small role playing of the characters couldn’t do enough to help the movie come out of the slumps. Maybe kids like this movie more than I did since it felt like it was directed more towards getting the attention of little kids before the adults but I wasn’t a fan of it. With so much potential this movie is a major let down in every aspect of the movie from the story line to the jokes. One of the biggest disappoints of 2009.
