"Two best friends—one unlucky-in-love divorcee and the other a fun-loving bachelor—have their lives turned upside down when they’re unexpectedly charged with the care of six-year-old twins while on the verge of the biggest business deal of their lives. The not-so-kidsavvy bachelors stumble in their efforts to take care of the twins, leading to one debacle after another, and perhaps to a new-found understanding of what’s really important in life."Movie type: Comedy - This is a silly comedy aimed at family audiences. Fans of stars John Travolta and Robin Williams should be pleased. There is no objectionable language though there is some slightly crude humor.

Reviews:
Berardinelli, Internet Critic: “Very Poor If there's anything significant about Old Dogs, it's that it illustrates how diminished Thanksgiving weekend has become for movie releases.”
Roger Ebert: “Poor "Old Dogs" is stupefying dimwitted.”
USA Today: “Below Average Though no animals were harmed in the making of Old Dogs, the lead actors were defanged. But like a pair of Labradors, they have a playful rapport.”
Dallas News: “Average The new comedy from some of the folks who brought us "Wild Hogs" is badly written and broadly acted, shamelessly manipulative and not above stopping by the toilet for a laugh or two.”
