Old Dads

Un film sur la manière dont notre monde se dirige droit dans le mur. Malheureusement, j'ai aussi parfois l'impression que nous préférons avoir des événements ou soirées thématiques sans thème, histoire de ne froisser personne, de ne pas être haineux, offensant ou supérieur envers quelqu'un. Chaque institution, chaque film, chaque livre, chaque décision devra être neutre sous tous les aspects susmentionnés. C'est en fait une comédie triste, car pour le bien de nos enfants, on serre les dents et on se laisse marcher sur les pieds avec des absurdités. Il ne reste plus qu'à espérer que le monde retrouve un certain équilibre et que nous finissions au moins comme les héros de cette histoire. (29/10/2023)

A group of guys navigating a world they don't fully understand — that's the core message of this film, and it's one I can relate to at times. While I didn't always get where they were coming from, I still found myself entertained. For a comedy about three dads trying to figure things out, three stars feels just right. (02/11/2023)

A good take on the trends of the time, such as trannies, black/white, ticktock, influencers and all the other vermin of today's perverted times, performed by three "boomers" or middle-aged fathers who just don't like the times and aren't afraid to tell everyone their opinion. Some parts are better, but overall the film still rides a nice wave and isn't afraid of bad language or fun situational humor. The only downside I can see is the lack of stronger one-liners that would give the film some juice and make me want to rewatch or reminisce it, but otherwise it's a fine inoffensive period Netflix film.

I was partly entertained and partly suffering through the crap that's so popular these days, the kind of stuff Bill Burr obviously hates as much as I do. I couldn't give it more than three stars though, because Bill Burr wasn't really acting, he was just being himself the whole time. I'm not sure why some viewers are surprised about him being a family man since he's never made a secret of it. When you boil it down, the whole thing is basically an extract from his life with most of the plot pieces stitched together from his stand-up routines. I had a decent time but I can't rate it higher for the reasons mentioned above. / Lesson learned: Yes, I'm officially a dinosaur. (18/03/2024)

This really didn't sit well with me. Great cast, doing what they can to save it, but that's where it ended for me. Although I greatly appreciate Bill Burr as a comedian and don't mind him as an actor, unfortunately, as a creator, he completely missed the mark with this one, and the whole script full of modern nonsense that shakes society (of course, in an extreme form in the movie). It was saved for me only by the more moderate second half. Hopefully, next time he comes up with funnier material. (03/11/2023)
