A good light hearted slapstick style movie. There is a good moral of business success balanced with personal success.

Old Dogs is a lame movie that took a while to film, sat on the shelf for quite some time, and wasn't very good. Wild Hogs didn't do very well with the critics (14% on Rottentomatoes.com), but was a huge success. And I've seen it over 5 times. Old Dogs currently sits at 7% on Rottentomatoes, and for good reason. I like the actors. Travolta and Williams are entertaining, even in the worst of movies, and the rest of the supporting cast is good also. They didn't have near enough Justin Long. He was funny in his character, and was only around for a short time. Director Walt Becker hasn't made movie that has been successful with the critics, and has only made one (again, Wild Hogs) that did well at the box office. That success led him to get the go ahead to make Old Dogs. And this time the movie is exactly as bad as the critics say. It has no heart. Its poor writing, directing and editing is made so that Old Dogs just doesn't let you become involved with the characters, and there is too much junk to allow for emotional attachment. There is so much pointless, not very funny 'humor' that it quickly becomes irritating, and it hammered me with silly slapstick that is funny in clips, but not when it's done so frequently. I can only laugh at someone taking it in the nuts so much. And on top of it all; the music. There was no way to keep from knowing it was there, and wasn't well done at all. Not many things irritate me more. And when it makes a bad movie WORSE..... I wanted to put more butter on my popcorn in hopes of having a stroke or heart attack so I could get out of the theater. Besides the funny parts in the previews, there isn't anything to really see. Don't waste your time or money.
