Three fiftysomething jerks extend their adolescence way, way beyond the breaking point in Old Dads, a boorish and obnoxiously vulgar comedy that, since it can’t claim any other great distinction, might well have been expressly written to break the all-time record for use of the f-word in the major studio movie. Even Lenny Bruce might be twitching in his grave over this one.
All the same, director/co-writer Bill Burr has more often than not had his finger on the pulse of the populace, so this slap-dash-feeling Netflix offering likely will prove a solid audience-pleaser.
There certainly have been plenty of comedies featuring guys who put off behaving like adults for as long as they can; perhaps The Odd Couple still stands as the quintessential example of this subgenre whose roots go pretty deep. In this case, the three buds behave as if they should be enrolled, not in grade school, but in some after-school course in remedial behavior; as one of the boys feels compelled to point out, “Daddy, you said a bad word.”
But as long as these three guys — Jack Kelly (writer-director Bill Burr), Connor Brody (Bobby Cannavale) and Mike Richards (Bokeem Woodvine) — hang out together, they seemingly can’t help but behave like the smart-asses they must have been in middle school; they even refer to girls and women by calling them the c-word in the schoolyard. Where is a military school when we need one?
It’s not clear how they pulled it off, but some of these guys have attractive wives who put up with them for some reason. As he reliably has throughout his very productive career, Burr knows how to write popular stuff for popular-seeking viewers. The more foolishly and irresponsibly his miscreants behave, the more the audience seems to

Zack Sharf Digital News Director Martin Scorsese recently said at a press conference (via LADbible) that Brendan Fraser is “perfect” in “Killers of the Flower Moon.” The actor, who won the Oscar this year for his performance in “The Whale,” has been panned by many fans since “Flower Moon” opened in the theaters, with viewers claiming his over-the-top acting feels largely out of place in the film. Fraser has a brief supporting turn as W. S.
a dismal 23% critic score on Rotten Tomatoes after 40 reviews.That’s a lower rating than some far worse, borderline unwatchable Netflix comedies such as the Jennifer Aniston/Adam Sandler torture instrument “Murder Mystery 2” (45%) and the corked bottle of pinot that was Amy Poehler’s “Wine Country” (66%). Why must the movie mafia so mercilessly pick on this one? Could it be that “Old Dads” is nothing more than a mischievous bit of fun whose naughty jokes butt heads with the increasingly scolding, schoolmarmish cultural gatekeepers? The film’s polar-opposite 88% audience score, a real flip of the bird to my colleagues on the aisle, would suggest so.
Laura Anderson has shocked fans after revealing she and Gary Lucy gave their relationship another go whilst she was pregnant with baby Bonnie.
Former Love Island star Laura Anderson would be the first to admit that the early weeks of motherhood have looked very different to how she'd once imagined them.The 34 year old, who welcomed her baby daughter Bonnie with Gary Lucy in September, split from the ex Hollyoaks actor in early 2023, shortly after publicly announcing the pregnancy. While there were a few attempts to get back together and Gary, 41, was by her side throughout the labour, they are no longer a couple. “I wanted nothing more than for us to be a family and to be together, but unfortunately it hasn’t worked out,” said Laura, who previously spoke out about her fears of being a single mum.

Peter Debruge Chief Film Critic With “Leo,” Indian director Lokesh Kanagaraj adds another “badass” to the growing network of formidable action heroes he calls the “Lokesh Cinematic Universe.” How do we know this guy’s a badass? Because the Tamil film’s techno soundtrack tells us so, chanting “Leo Das is a badass!” before even establishing who Leo Das is. By this time, the character in question has already wrestled a wild hyena into submission with his bare hands.
Old Dads, a new film on Netflix, has sharply divided viewers upon its release this week.With a 17 per cent critic score on Rotten Tomatoes, the film has already received a wholly negative response from journalists, whereas viewers on social media are much more divided. The audience voted score on Rotten Tomatoes currently stands at 89 per cent.Old Dads is about a trio of late-middle-age fathers Bill Burr, Bobby Cannavale and Bokeem Woodbine, who “find themselves battling preschool principals, millennial CEOs and anything created after 1987,” according to the official synopsis.
Emily Longeretta Mira Sorvino wasn’t about to start conjuring up any spirits on the set of “Shining Vale.” When she learned she’d be playing three characters — Rosemary Wellington, Ruth Levin and Nellie Burke — in the second season of the Starz comedy, the actor immediately asked showrunner Jeff Astrof for details so she could start prepping. “It was very ambitious,” Astroff told Variety on the Los Angeles set of the second season about his big ideas for the new episodes.
Leonardo DiCaprio‘s “endless” ad-libs in Killers Of The Flower Moon left Martin Scorsese and Robert De Niro “rolling their eyes”, according to the director.Scorsese’s 26th film is based on the true story of the murder of more than 60 Native Americans in 1920s Oklahoma and stars De Niro and DiCaprio as an uncle and nephew plotting to steal the oil underneath the tribe’s land.DiCaprio is renowed for improvising his lines in films, but while filming the period piece, the actor apparently tested the patience of his co-star and director.His improvisations were “endless, endless, endless”, Scorsese told The Telegraph, while “Bob [De Niro] didn’t want to talk.”The 80-year-old director, who has made multiple films with both actors, said: “Every now and then, Bob and I would look at each other and roll our eyes a little bit. And we’d tell [DiCaprio]: ‘You don’t need that dialogue.’”This comes after Scorsese recently revealed that DiCaprio asked for a major overhaul of the film’s script two years into the writing process.While the film ended up being told from the perspective of the Osage tribe, that wasn’t the original plan.
Owen Gleiberman Chief Film Critic “Old Dads,” a Netflix comedy about three middle-aged dads in Los Angeles, each trying to deal with the delayed pleasures and perils of fatherhood, sounds like a Hollywood satire to watch along with “Bad Moms,” or maybe the sort of broad burlesque of child-rearing that would star someone like John Cena. Actually, though, it’s not that sort of movie. It was directed and co-written by Bill Burr, who also stars in it, and it’s been spun out of the kind of prickly incorrect observations that are the hallmark of Burr’s stand-up comedy — and also the kind of squirm comedy that powers his anthology series “Immoral Compass.” “Old Dads” isn’t nearly as good as “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” but at times it feels like three episodes of that show jammed together — that is, if Larry David were a Gen-X firecracker whose anger-management issues make Larry look like a pussycat.
