Storyline
Charlie and Dan have been best friends and business partners for thirty years and their Manhattan public relations firm is on the verge of a huge business deal with a Japanese company. With two weeks to sew up the contract, Dan gets a surprise; a woman he married on a drunken impulse nearly nine years before (annulled the next day) shows up to tell him he's the father of her twins, now seven, and she'll be in jail for 14 days for a political protest. Dan volunteers to keep the tykes, although he's uptight and clueless. With Charlie's help is there any way they can be dad and uncle, meet the kids' expectations, and still land the account?

I'd agree that Hollywood have really dropped the ball in the past 5 years getting good entertaining movies with some redeeming values. There has been a handful of really good ones and the rest are fillers. Old Dogs has terrible reviews, however 6 of our family members (all adults) still went to see it. Five of us gave it a good rating and one totally agreed with the critics. It's a fun, laughable movie that will at least not fill your kids ears with F and S words, body parts and sexual innuendos that they like to sneak in these days. It's not a fantastic movie, but fun. Take it at face value and go see it. It's better than a lot of the garbage out there. If you are to sophisticated to enjoy a little potty humor, don't go see it.
