Old Dogs

We watched this movie the other night on Netflix. Funny thing was I watched for 35 minutes and then asked my wife when Tim Allen was in the movie. She said no that is Wild Hogs so I was not thinking the right movie when we ordered this one up.

However the movie was cute in places. There were several spots where I actually laughed out loud which I do not often do at movies.

Robin Williams and his brand of physical comedy can be funny.

The scene where the two are in a resteraunt and Travolta's character starts to hit on the waitress coincides with when the twosome is recognized as members of the grandparents club is quite funny.

In the funniest, yes silliest scene, Williams and Travolta switch medicines leading to Williams character losing his depth perception which leads to the physical humor Williams knows best, and Travolta develops facial paralysis which in the scene is funnier than it sounds.

Williams character reunites with his children in the movie and it is heartfelt. The movie is not great, it is barely good but it was an acceptable family movie in a time where that in itself is hard to find.
