I watched the movie "Old Dogs" tonight and unfortunately I thought it was a real turkey. I like Robin Williams and John Travolta and they usually perform better than this, but perhaps they didn't have very good material to work with. The characters were so flat and stereotypical and the script felt like it was a rehash of stuff we've already seen a million times before. Same plot, just worse lines and some slapstick thrown in to please the kids and adults of lesser intelligence. It jumped wildly from scene to scene, location to location, it was almost hard to keep up despite the thin plot line.
There were a couple of giggles in there but the cheap kind. Basically, I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. I feel bad for saying it because I know that John Travolta and Kelly Preston lost their son somewhere around when this movie was filmed. Their daughter plays the part of Robin Williams long lost daughter in the film. She's very pretty.
What were Robin Williams and John Travolta thinking?
