The comedy “Old Dads,” rated R, isn't outstanding or particularly awful, but it provides some enjoyable, forgettable entertainment. Bill Burr directed and co-wrote the film, which contains a few amusing (though occasionally tired) jokes and a simple storyline that largely makes it feel like another standard Netflix production. Jack (Burr), Connor (Bobby Cannavale), and Mike (Bokeem Woodbine), who are close friends and business partners, became fathers later in life. The three of them discover that raising children in your late forties presents challenges, so they decide to sell their thriving sports apparel company to a young millennial CEO (Miles Robbins). Afterward, the group finds themselves excluded from the business, which triggers Jack’s anger. This frustration spills over into his daily routines, creating tension with his pregnant wife (Katie Aselton) and sparking conflict with his son's very progressive preschool principal (Rachael Harris). Seeking support from his friends to regain control of his life, Jack and the guys embark on a journey that leads them through Los Angeles streets and Palm Springs strip clubs. The humor is crude, vulgar, and geared toward individuals who are frustrated by modern political correctness and cultural norms. The film seems designed for Burr to voice his complaints and criticize progressive viewpoints, and some of his observations are genuinely funny because they ring true. You'll occasionally laugh out loud when Burr connects with a shared experience about the hypocrisy surrounding today’s culture clashes—a truth that really resonates. However, he doesn’t push boundaries too far and seems careful not to upset those who identify with the targets of his jokes and sarcastic remarks. Burr’s cynical delivery and persona as an angry man either work well or fall flat for viewers. There are several predictable dad jokes and tired one-liners that elicited groans, but when it's genuinely funny, it is truly hilarious. It’s also worth mentioning that you don’t have to be a parent to find the movie amusing; it can be entertaining to mock the pretentiousness of smug, self-assured parents. “Old Dads” has its bright spots, even if it isn't a home run. The film’s quality is average—right in the middle—and that might just be good enough for who it was made for.
