‘Old Dads’ on Netflix proves PC critics can’t stop whining about fun

nypost.com:

a dismal 23% critic score on Rotten Tomatoes after 40 reviews.That’s a lower rating than some far worse, borderline unwatchable Netflix comedies such as the Jennifer Aniston/Adam Sandler torture instrument “Murder Mystery 2” (45%) and the corked bottle of pinot that was Amy Poehler’s “Wine Country” (66%).

Why must the movie mafia so mercilessly pick on this one? Could it be that “Old Dads” is nothing more than a mischievous bit of fun whose naughty jokes butt heads with the increasingly scolding, schoolmarmish cultural gatekeepers?

The film’s polar-opposite 88% audience score, a real flip of the bird to my colleagues on the aisle, would suggest so. Viewers — surprise, surprise — love watching today’s oh-so-sensitive, lecturing types get pilloried.In “Old Dads,” which Burr also co-wrote and directed, the brash comedian plays a California man named Jack who’s married to a younger woman and becomes a first-time father in his late 40s.

Now 51, the firebrand is unwillingly exposed to a parade of West Coast millennial parents’ hippy-dippy values, trigger warnings and goopy obsession with feelings at school.
