DVD review: Old dogs

Two very wealthy friends are trying to get even wealthier when they are saddled with little kids.

This is the kind of movie that we should all point at when we say that Hollywood exec did lose touch with reality. Even on paper the concept is really retarted. It’s the same old boring routine of “Oh my god! Having children is hard!” followed by the obligatory realization “Babies are wonderful”.

Mix it up with two characters with whom it’s impossible to identify unless you are an Hollywood producer and you are left wondering “what they were thinking?”

On the other side this movie grossed very well, 100 million on a 30 million budget, so apparently there is a market for this.

Maybe John Travolta and Robin Williams still have enough star power among them to justify the intake but really this is the requiem for two illustrious careers of two very talented actors. I was a real fan of both of them and I understand that at that age, Williams is 61 while Travolta is 58, decent roles are dwindling down but I also hope that they got enough money in their banks to be a little bit pickier with their career choices and enjoy their life and their respective families.

Don’t see this movie; the brain damage is not worth it.
