Old Dads, a new film on Netflix, has sharply divided viewers upon its release this week.With a 17 per cent critic score on Rotten Tomatoes, the film has already received a wholly negative response from journalists, whereas viewers on social media are much more divided.
The audience voted score on Rotten Tomatoes currently stands at 89 per cent.Old Dads is about a trio of late-middle-age fathers Bill Burr, Bobby Cannavale and Bokeem Woodbine, who “find themselves battling preschool principals, millennial CEOs and anything created after 1987,” according to the official synopsis.
Burr co-wrote the film (with Ben Tishler) and it also marks the actor’s directorial debut.On the positive side, one fan on X, formerly Twitter, wrote: “This old dads movie on Netflix 10/10,” while another added, “Just watched Old Dads on Netflix… best movie I’ve seen in 15 years.” A third fan wrote: “Old Dads is great.
I miss movies like this.”Others however, were far less impressed. One Twitter user described it as “completely terrible”, while another added: “Bad acting, and the jokes were just so so bad.”Check out some of the responses below:Just watched Old Dads on Netflix… best movie I've seen in at least 15 years.— ItsHapa (@ItsHapa) October 23, 2023Highly recommend everyone to watch “Old Dads” On Netflix.
