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. (2023.11.02)

A film about how our world is going south in a big way. Unfortunately, I sometimes feel that we will prefer thematic events/parties/functions without a theme so as not to be offensive, hateful, scandalous, or superior to anyone. Every institution, every film, every book, every decision will have to be neutral from a thousand angles for the reasons mentioned above. It's actually a sad comedy, because for the sake of our children, we usually grit our teeth and let our heads get buried in nonsense. All that's left is to hope that the world will somehow normalize, find balance and equilibrium, and at least we'll end up as the heroes of this story. (2023.10.29)

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. (2024.03.18)

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. (2023.11.03)
