“Old Dogs” embarrasses Travolta and Williams November 30, 2009

“Old Dogs”, starring Robin Williams and John Travolta can best be described as a poor attempt of a movie.  Very reminiscent of 2007′s “Wild Hogs”, the movie attempts to mix physical humor with a wholesome story.

However, once again Walt Becker, who directed both movies, fails miserably.

Williams and Travolta are business partners who have been best buds their entire life.  They are about to seal the biggest deal of their lives, and then Williams finds out he is the father of seven-year old twins.

The twins were conceived while Travolta and Williams were in South Beach recovering from Williams first divorce.  What ensues is a horrible display of physical comedy, ranging from a spray tan incident, to Seth Green (who I was horrified to see in this movie) getting kidnapped by a gorilla.

It was horrible to see two giants of Hollywood stumble through a movie that was either for kids or middle-aged people (I couldn’t tell).  Watching this movie was uncomfortable at times as well, like when we had to see Williams in his skivvies, or when Travolta attempted to make facial paralysis funny.

I wish this movie hadn’t been made, but more importantly, I wish I hadn’t seen it.
