DON'T LISTEN TO THE CRITICS!
It's been a long time since I've had a good laugh. This movie is so hilarious, and I was laughing so hard in certain scenes, that it gave me a stomach ache. A lot of humor is just plain silly, but it's just the silly things in the movie that made it funny. Robin Williams was the perfect actor for this movie, not to add, John Travolta was spectacular. I wish people would stop critizing every clean-goodnatured-Disney movie they ever make, because this one truly is entertaining. I review movies based on how much I enjoyed it, not if it freaked me out, or if it was sexy, or because of the dirty humor. "Old Dogs" is a delightful family film, and if you're like me, you'll be laughing through out the whole thing. Please give this movie a chance, and allow yourself to be part of the story. "Old Dogs" made me laugh, it made me cry, and it moved me. Overall, this is the type of movie you like based on your own opinion, not on how others view it. Watch it! You'll love it, I promise!

The begginning was a little innapropriate, you can definitly tell they slept together and that is how the kids appeared.The rest of the movie was extremly funny, and suitable for younger kids. No bad language, except for the "stupid" and "poop" type of language. Overall it was a great movie, recomend for ages 9+.

A Family Flick for sure!!!
This is a GREAT movie for the whole family! On the PSP, the label is visible and they talk about the car company Nissan. Old Dogs sad at one part where Charlie's dog dies but, there is nothing sad in the rest of the movie. It's also Hilarious at some parts. If you don't know what to rent or see in theatres with the "fam", go see Old Dogs. It's Great!

good comedy but a little boring
i think it was a good, funny movie but was boring in the beggening. it is violent when they play ultimante frisbee, because one of the guys gets beat up and another gets a bloody lip. it also shows a scene from friday the 13th. they use idiot once or twice, but it isnt used enough for me to select language. they take pills that make them act weird, wich is kind of drugs. it has a ton of rude humor, words like diera, poo poo, and a kid tutes. a man gets hit in the privates by a golf ball

Hmm. Really? Freaking out over Friday the 13th. Its not like they show it. This movie isn't innapropriate. Just not for young kids or they will be walking around laughing and saying "haha, farting"

Quite boring for adults but good laugh for younger kids
I m Hungarian and we watched it with my 8 and 11 y-o with subtitles.I found it fairly boring and agree with those who said it was nothing special. For me Robin Williams in Captain Hook or John Travolta in Phenomenon were way more entertaining and this film was a great disappointment.Bed time story with Adam Sandler was much funnier too. I couldn't even think of a good message it had. Being a mother I could not identify with Kelly Preston, the mother. Why on earth would anyone keep in secret having twins for 7 years and not tell about it to the father? The story s too direct, without excitement , but there are some laughs . My 8 y-o son definitely loved it and he said he wanted to watch it dubbed. My daughter said the same.

Yes, you know from the first frame of the movie how the story will unfold and end. However, while the trip is predictable, the acting, cameos and tempo of the film make it a very enjoyable experience. My kids are 9 and 12 and both loved it. Everyone in theater shared their enthusiasm and laughed throughout the film. The movie was not at all hard edged and was utterly appropriate for my kids. The reference to Friday the 13th, which caused one reviewer concern, was offered only to demonstrate Travolta's absolute lack of expertise with what is and what is not appropriate for kids. All in all a fun and harmless film that charmed all in out theater; kids and adults alike.

Beware the dog dying scene.
The main thing my 7 yr old daughter didn't like about the movie was that the long time friend of one character, his dog, dies in the movie. For a 7 yr old who has her own dog, this was very upsetting. And no where in any info does it warn you about this.

Hilarious almost must see movie
I highly recommend this movie to mostly all people. This movie has very good moral messages, for example, that family is important. Although, these values are not shown in the beginning of the movie where, for example, Robin WIlliams gets a tatoo.

I think that the movie was very good, My friend and I were laughing so hard. The premise of the movie was about friends sticking together and families being together.A scene were they're in the bar in Miami was suggestive, but not inappropriate. A few sad moments but mostly really funny.

Bleh - possibly the worst movie I've ever seen.
Honestly - this is one of the worst movies I have ever seen. Even my kids (ages 9 & 7), who love old dumb Disney movies (like That Darn Cat and Herbie) felt that this was boring. It was a ridiculously formulaic story, acted out badly, edited haphazardly and laced with brutal "comic" violence. Bleh. Please - learn from my mistake and DON'T spend any money on this junk!

Kind of disappointing but funny
I think this was a funny movie with a positive message but I was a little disappointed because the commercials 4 it made it look really funny and good. There is a scene at a bar that isn't that bad but i don't think kids under 8 should c this movie.

Toning Down the Vulgar Scale
Old Dogs was disappointing. It had an adult theme to it and some brief sexual/drinking scenes. There was no cussing of any kind which I think was their way of "toning down" the vulgar scale. It didn't work, because the movie wasn't that funny AND it had adult jokes all over the place.

A Great Family Comedy!
An Awesome Family Movie that made me smile and laugh and i think your family will to. There is some alcohol use in this movie but thats pretty much the only problem. Other than that, its a great comedy movie that the whole family will enjoy and laugh at!

okay but not a favorite
I thought this was an okay movie. It was pretty boring in some parts but funny in others. Some of the flirting was alittle too much for little kids.
