Review of Old Dads

Old Dads (2023)
5/10
A bit of a dissapointment
29 October 2023
I love Bill Burr's standup and I love his attitude, so I'm giving this a charitable 5 rating. He's a great standup but that doesn't mean he can write and direct, maybe he'll get better.

I get what he was going for and I can see the movie he WANTED to make, but he didn't quite make it. The attempt to skewer the up-their-own-ass class of people fell flat, too far and not funny, it made the whole thing seem contrived. The jokes were funny I guess, some of them, but I didn't laugh once, maybe a smile at most.

The writing didn't really hold together, it didn't give you much to grab on to, the characters were kind of shallow.

If you aren't a Bill Burr fan, you can probably skip this one.
