Review of Old Dads

Old Dads (2023)
6/10
Uneven and just ok.
4 November 2023
I'm not a huge fan but I do like Bill Burr, maybe his views and ways to go about things more than his actual comedy. So I was excited to see what his first movie would be like. And while it has some familiar Burr elements, it did feel very uneven as a whole, showing signs of his lack of directing experience. There are some good points and good jokes, especially in the first half of the movie but then it starts to be all over the place, not really knowing what it wants to be (drama? Comedy? Critique on society?) and ends up being a bit messy. In the end it feels strangely cheap in a way, and kind of "Bill Burr Light", leaving you unsatisfied.
