Old Dads is a 2023 American comedy film directed by Bill Burr and starring Burr, Bobby Cannavale, and Bokeem Woodbine. The film follows the story of three best friends who become fathers later in life and find themselves struggling to adapt to a changing world.
They are friends, they have a company in common, they are older and, in addition, all three are “mature” parents facing a new world of millennials and new customs.
IF you’re in your forties and think this world has changed too much already, this movie will tickle your fancy.
This from a 40-year-old who thinks this world is too soft.
Review of “Old Dads”
A comedy, definitely, for 40-somethings. A comedy about time passing and how mores have changed and how those of us who were raised on Clint Eastwood movies see this modern world as too soft for our tastes.
A film written, directed and played by Bill Burr, to whom you can give all the blame on whether you like it or not. Personally: it is very funny and the film, despite being a family film, has its funny moments, especially in the character of Burr himself, who knows how to play the role, make us laugh and, above all, make the audience like him.
“Old Dads” is a simple comedy that, beyond its plot, uses good performances and the complicity of the viewer for some jokes that, although they are out of period, you will find more than refreshing for being, precisely, a film taken from the period with characters taken from the period.
If you consider yourselves a little out of time, this film will amuse you.
Our opinion
Within the family comedy genre, it’s pretty hooligan in general terms and has its moments.
To have a good time this Friday.
