Full Review | Original Score: 1/5 | Nov 17, 2011

The jokes are played painfully safe and not even the fleeting presence of a few a name faces detracts from the sheer inanity of the plot and outright creepiness of the film's central pairing.

Both Williams and Travolta mug furiously and the kids need locking up.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/5 | Mar 22, 2010

The pickings are slim going on invisible.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Mar 19, 2010

Most repellent is the undercurrent of homophobia, the brutal cultural stereotyping and the fact that Travolta looks like a man wearing a slightly melted rubber John Travolta Hallowe'en mask.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Mar 19, 2010

This is imbecilic hooey of the rarest breed.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Mar 19, 2010

Which is better, a soulless life of work and striving for money, or a joyous embrace of family and kids in all their gorgeous life-affirming messiness?

| Original Score: 1/5 | Mar 19, 2010

Being a film critic is a wonderful job, but there are weeks when the bad film delirium strikes and we'd all be better off in straitjackets.

| Original Score: 0/5 | Mar 19, 2010

Those expecting new tricks or even vaguely inventive laughs from Old Dogs or its two waning stars should heed the obvious cliche.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 23, 2009

It's kind of a funny story. Actually it isn't. And not much in this movie is, unless you like to watch elderly dogs urinate, middle-aged movie stars overact wildly, and Seth Green get hit in the groin by a golf ball.

This imbecilic, mean-spirited farce, which sneers at adults, leaves you wondering: where are the Three Stooges when we really need them?

Full Review | Original Score: 1/5 | Nov 25, 2009

We have reached a point in our moviegoing life where the two most horrifying words a studio can mutter are "Robin" and "Williams."

| Original Score: 1/4 | Nov 25, 2009

Old Dogs does to the screen what old dogs do to the carpet. It's unfortunate that only the latter can be taken out and shot.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Nov 25, 2009

The great thing about comedy these days is that few people are making movies like Old Dogs.

| Original Score: 2/4/ | Nov 25, 2009

Unfunny and uninspired, this dog deserves to be put down.

| Original Score: 0.5/4 | Nov 25, 2009

The ploy of pairing John Travolta and Robin Williams, whose salaries probably represented most of the budget, is the only pedigree Old Dogs has going for it.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Nov 25, 2009

The timing of the comic set-ups is consistently amateurish, as if scenes were edited with hedge clippers, with the actors mugging frantically, waiting for the take to end.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Nov 25, 2009

Only the irrepressible Luis Guzmn, stuck in a walk-on bit as the stereotypical mooching Hispanic, is able to milk this cash cow and exit with his dignity intact.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 25, 2009

A total train wreck.
