Review of Old Dads

Old Dads (2023)
3/10
Was good until it wasn't

I hold great admiration for the comedic genius of Bill Burr. The relatability of his content resonates deeply with me, as I find myself mirroring his character in the film. While I may be a few years younger and have older children, I too grew up in what some might term the "bully" generation, where expressing one's opinions was not met with the fear of losing employment. However, it was disheartening to witness the moment when he started conforming to societal expectations during his uninvited "therapy sessions" and failed to stand his ground when confronted by the cyclist's unwarranted advice about his child. These instances seemed to erase any perceived progress made in the film, leaving me with a sense of disappointment. It is disheartening to see yet another Hollywood creation that falls short of capturing the true essence of reality. Once again, Netflix has delivered a lackluster product that fails to live up to its potential.
