Editor's Review
There are two types of comedies: ridiculously funny and just plain ridiculous.
In Old Dogs, you have John Travolta, a reasonably funny guy. He's done comedies before (Look Who's Talking and Wild Hogs) and I'd say he did a good job of tickling a funny bone or two.
Then you have the ultimate comedian, Robin Williams. Though Williams has starred in numerous dramatic movies, comedies is where this man belongs and there he thrives.
You would think that by putting these guys together you'd get good comedy.
You're wrong.
You actually get great rolling-on-the-floor, laugh-till-you-cry comedy.
Being great friend off screen certainly helped when the studio put these guys together. Watching them play off each other is amazing. You would not think it was acting.
Travolta plays Charlie and Williams is Dan. Together Charlie and Dan are a couple of single guys who run a sports marketing firm. Charlie is the fun-loving bachelor who is the life of the party. Dan, on the other hand, is the unlucky-in-love divorcee who indulges Charlie and is happy to go along for the ride. Work and having fun takes up a major portion of their lives. When we meet them, Charlie and Dan are about to seal a deal with a Japanese company. All they need to do now is a bit of socializing. But then Dan gets a call from Vicki, his one-night stand. Vicki tells Dan he's daddy to their seven-year-old twins, Zach and Emily.
Before Dan can digest the news, he's told he needs to look after the twins while Vicki goes to jail for a misdemeanor felony charge. It's only two weeks, Vicki tells Dan and Charlie. What could happen?
From one debacle to another, these two not-so-kid-savvy bachelors stumble in their efforts to take care of the twins and in the process entertain us with their slap-stick humour and great one-liners.
The storyline for Old Dogs has been played out in many different movies - Man has fun. Man goes back to care-free life. Woman finds man. Woman tells man of kids. Man freaks out.
This movie is a no-brainer. It's something you would see to put a smile on your face.
It's that simple.
