Featuring a mixed-up-medication gag, a guy-in-a-gorilla-suit gag and a suntan-gone-wrong gag...well, you begin to understand the level of inspiration that went into the execution of the film.

REVIEWS FOR OLD DOGS
Um embaraço para todos os envolvidos - inclusive o público.
Apr 5, 2010
It's aggressively awful, and manages to push its worst gags so numbingly off the scale that we're left slack-jawed in disbelief
Apr 4, 2010
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.
Mar 22, 2010
Both Williams and Travolta mug furiously and the kids need locking up.
Mar 22, 2010
[Travolta and Williams] engage in a torrent of slapstick set-ups that are neither witty nor funny.
Mar 22, 2010
You've never experienced horror until you've seen Robin Williams in a Speedo getting a spray tan.
Mar 22, 2010
A slapdash embarrassment of feeble age gags and cultural stereotypes, Old Dogs is at once crass, corny, amateurish, insulting, uninspired, deeply phoney and extraordinarily unfunny.
Mar 22, 2010
It's perhaps wise to avoid this movie at all costs.
Mar 22, 2010
Old Dogs is a milestone in the [Travolta's] career, the moment when he trumped Battlefield Earth to make the worst film of his life.
Mar 22, 2010
At the screening I attended I didn't hear one person laugh, though I did hear plenty of involuntary sighs and groans, some of them emanating from myself.
Mar 22, 2010
Dumb and painfully unfunny.
Mar 22, 2010
The pickings are slim going on invisible.
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.
Mar 19, 2010
This is easily the worst film of the year so far, and frankly last year too. It is embarrassingly, painfully unfunny.
Mar 19, 2010
This is imbecilic hooey of the rarest breed.
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?
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.
Mar 19, 2010
Utterly abysmal, entirely laugh-free and hideously embarrassing.
Mar 17, 2010
Despite showing some potential as commentary on ageism, the light-hearted comedy often flounders in the formulaic and a premise that is more complicated than it needed to be.
