Old Dogs is a feel good family film starring John Travolta and Robin Williams. The pair play best friends Charlie and Dan. They'd been friends for over thirty years and are business partners today. Charlie is the wilder one, while Dan is more traditional, with Charlie often coercing Dan to do some stuff he normally wouldn't do. Dan was married, then divorced and then hooked up again before that relationship failing as well. Years later, he finds out that he is the father of twins and through a series of coincidences, he has to take care of them. This is a comedy film and there are the occasional good jokes. It is very much a typical family film though, as Dan and Charlie, having been single all their lives, struggle to properly take care of the children. However, they soon form a bond, and one of the frequent jokes is how Dan and Charlie are partners and the grandfathers of the children. As expected, the moral of the story is that family first, and everything else will fall into place. Despite that, it does a good job at making a feel good story so that it is actually quite enjoyable if you go into it with lowered expectations.
