Old Dogs (2009)

Thank GOD I skipped this movie last year without wasting my RM9 watching this crap. Directed by Walt Becker who also directed Wild Hogs (2007) and reuniting with Wild Hogs star John Travolta, with their second collaboration, brings one of the most "EPIC" movie of 2009 (how sarcastic am I) This time around John Travolta teams up with the Genie himself, Robin Williams, Kelly Preston (John's wife) and Seth Green along with John's daughter Ella Bleu Travolta in this movie.


This movie revolves around Robin's character, Dan Rayburn trying to repair his relationship with his ex-wife and his two kids. The plot is too simple and of course tad predictable. Maybe two or three good laughs but the jokes is like "been there, see that before". I would feel sorry for the casts as I could see they were trying so hard to save this movie or just simply make this movie humurous but they just cannot be Tinkerbell by just sprinkle some magic dust and save the movie. I am sorry eventhough I am a John Travolta fan but his acting is just too stiff and terrible, as well as Kelly Preston who acts like a laughing queen in this movie, maybe you can compare her with Julia White in Transformers 2. Robin Williams and Seth Green did just fine for this movie, yet they even cannot save the movie. Watch cameos by the late Bernie Mac and Matt Dillon.


Overall, this movie is just TOO TOO TOO predictable and TOO TOO TOOO painful to watch. The jokes are just not funny, in fact the jokes make you look like a fool for watching this. A little piece of advice to John Travolta, stop acting in any Walt Becker movies, do act in movies like Broken Arrow or Face Off or even like Saturday Night Fever. Besides that John, please look at the mirror whether you hair suits your personality because SERIOUSLY that hair of yours in Old Dogs REALLY REALLY does not suit you at all.
