Bill Burr's film isn’t the worst directorial debut by any means of the phrase, but the film's raunchy comedy fails to say something meaningful.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Standup comedian Bill Burr is no stranger to pushing the limits in his comedy. And in his directorial debut, Old Dads, he pushes it far. Burr stars as Jack Kelly, a businessman, husband, and father with a temper and raunchy mouth that puts him in more trouble than it's worth.
Speaking of these jokes, it almost feels as if Old Dads was written for the people who want to be offensive in the name of “kidding around.” The central character fires the typical gags at any and all groups but gets upset when he’s corrected on them. In hindsight, the script isn’t actually that bad and only contains few moments that could be deemed cringe-worthy.
At its best, Old Dads is a reminder that we all have the capacity to change. But don’t expect this feature to provide even a modicum of realism when it comes to that. The characters in Burr’s comedy learn their lessons almost as fast as they get themselves into trouble, which really makes you want to roll your eyes at the moments that are supposed to be sentimental. However, it doesn’t necessarily hurt the film to a detrimental degree, especially when it was never expected to be Netflix’s best.
