Charlie and Dan have been best friends and business partners for thirty years; 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 up tight 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 wanted this to be good, but it's anything but.
There is nothing I enjoyed about <em>'Old Dogs'</em>, every second of its 88 minute run time is a hard slog. Robin Williams and John Travolta are the only reasons that I haven't rated this even lower, I'm not saying those two are all that noteworthy in this but their acting ability raises things up ever so slightly.
The premise is incredibly lame and painstakingly predictable, while the comedy is very lazy - I didn't laugh once, there's not even a minutely chucklesome moment. There are some terrible attempted gags in there.
A major disappointment, I wanted to like this due to the two leads but I just couldn't. Dreadful film.
2000s live-action Disney is mental. From the greatness of <em>'Pirates of the Caribbean'</em>, <em>'Holes'</em> and <em>'The Greatest Game Ever Played'</em> to the diabolical <em>'The Country Bears'</em>, <em>'Max Keeble's Big Move'</em> and now this. Rather incredible.
