Product Description
John Travolta and Robin Williams star in Old Dogs, the hilarious family comedy that will have you howling. Two best friends have their lives turned upside down when they're unexpectedly charged with the care of seven-year-old twins while on the verge of the biggest business deal of their lives. The clueless bachelors stumble in their efforts to take care of the children, leading to one debacle after another, with a gorilla and some pecking penguins -- and perhaps to a newfound understanding of what's really important in life. Featuring a riotously funny supporting cast including Seth Green, Kelly Preston, Matt Dillon and Lori Laughlin, Old Dogs is a laugh-a-minute comedy filled with heart.
Bonus Features Include Deleted Scenes, Audio Commentary By Director Walt Becker, Producer Andrew Panay And Writers David Diamond And David Weissman

Who says you can't teach Old Dogs new tricks? Robin Williams and John Travolta are the old, single "dogs" in question, reveling in great chemistry as lifelong pals who've together grown a successful marketing empire--but who have somehow managed to avoid ever really growing up. The cast, featuring Travolta's real wife, Kelly Preston (who, with costar Rita Wilson, reveals just how fine a comedian she is, and how the screen really sparkles when she's on it), and his real-life daughter Ella Bleu, is top-notch. Other great performances include Bernie Mac, a sultry Lori Loughlin, Matt Dillon, and a dynamite Seth Green as a mini-mogul in training. The plot revolves around the Old Dogs' suddenly needing to care for twin 7-year-olds (the heretofore unknown children of Williams's character, Dan) and finding that they learn as much from the kids as vice versa. Moans Dan to Travolta's Charlie, after awkwardly tucking in the kids for the night at Charlie's bachelor pad, "I just shook hands goodnight with my daughter." Old Dogs is a fun family film that's appropriate for ages 8 and up, with enough jokes and great timing to please grownups too. --A.T. Hurley
Another step backwards for Robin WilliamsReview date: 2010-07-31 Rating: 4 out of 10Another year and another ho-hum comedy from Robin Williams. This time he is paired with John Travolta. Together they play best friends from school who run a business together out of New York City. Life is going normally when William's character discovers he had two children from a one-night stand over a decade ago. The movie then becomes a family comedy about one man's evolution from single man to father. There are some funny scenes, such as when the kids mix up the prescription pills of their father. But there are some really stupid scenes also, such as the one featuring the gorilla shown on the DVD case. The characters themselves are believable, but much of the story is somewhat ludicrous. A good example is how the main characters seal a business deal with a Japanese company with unintended actions. Overall, a below-average comedy for 2009. And Robin Williams looks totally scripted, with none of his former gusto and provocative humor.
ReviewsGoing downhillReview date: 2010-07-22 Rating: 4 out of 10This movie, Old Dogs, is two best friends and business partners, who are about to make it big with a business deal with a Japanese company. They are suddenly surprised when one of them is confronted with the children from a one-night stand. This throws their life and plans into chaos as promises are made and broken, hearts are broken and mended, and everything ends up alright in the end. Falling into the comedy genre and starring Robin Williams, I was expecting more laughs than what the movie provided. And the few laughs that were given seem too scripted; especially in the scenes with the children. Robin Williams is known for his spontaneity, and there was very little of it in this film. John Travolta seems out of place in this comedy also. Overall, an OK movie that luckily is only 1.5 hours long.Old DogsReview date: 2010-07-19 Rating: 10 out of 10Old Dogs (Single Disc Widescreen)
