Dan (Robin Williams) is shaken upon learning that he fathered twins from former lover Vicki (Kelly Preston). Moreover, he must take care of them while Vicki serves a prison sentence (she trespassed)! Along with the ride is his bestfriend and business partner Charlie (the pudgy yet adorable John Travolta) who's in the middle of a lucrative deal that would turn their business global and take them to Tokyo. Amidst these predicaments are silly expectations of romance, babysitting disasters, and errr... closing the car trunk on a hand model's hand (the hilarious Rita Wilson)!
There's not a lot of pleasure to be had in this Walt Becker movie - in fact, "Old Dogs" feels, well, "old" - like you've seen it before and you're just going for the ride, but it sure beats paying P160 to agonize while watching Pinoy indie movies (I've had the misfortune to watch 3 bad ones - "Puntod", "Chub Chaser", "Fidel" for January alone - and there's 1 more week to complete this list!) Shivers!
John Travolta - back when his name was synonymous with "Perfect" - which became a title for his movie with Jamie Lee Curtis!
Dax Shepard is child-safety engineer (sans the degree) in "Old Dogs"!
