critics consensus
Its cast tries hard, but Old Dogs is a predictable, nearly witless attempt at physical comedy and moral uplift that misses the mark on both counts. Read critic reviews

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.

The pickings are slim going on invisible.

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.

Jan 02, 2012Old Dogs is a pathetic and boring movie that honestly shows that if these two actors want to continue doing movies, they need to stop making crap like this.Bradley W Super Reviewer

Jul 03, 2011really bad film and just a waste of everyones talent. williams and travolta need a better agent because they have both reinvented there careers at one point, they surely can't come back from round twoBrendan N Super Reviewer

May 03, 2011I really love Old Dogs. Even just on the soul fact that John Travolta and Robin Williams are in a movie together was enough to get my attention, but the result is comic gold. After seeing this around three times for some reason, I still think it's just as funny. Now I can see why this was critically bashed beyond belief and people in general just hate it, but it doesn't affect me in the slightest. I think the reason I find this to be so funny is the fact that it takes middle-aged jokes to the extreme. The pill mix-up thing gets me every time as well as the extra tan session. Then there's the great cameos from Matt Dillon and a redneck Justin Long that really send it over the top.Conner R Super Reviewer

Apr 08, 2011the set up doesnt make sence, williams and travolta playing lifelong friends, now business partners, and williams having to look after his kids while mother is in jail, and due to way travolta has meddled with his life, he being roped in to helped out, cue travolta doing his annoying comedy hes been doing lately, and williams who comes off better, doing some good stuff. it gets annoying at times, although it did raise some chuckles. but it falls predictably in its sentimental last half, a law in hollywood aparently. not terrible but a missed oportunityscott g Super Reviewer
