Hard to believe this has a zero rating so far at Rotten Tomatoes…

Old Dogs Synopsis: Two best friends — one unlucky-in-love divorcee (ROBIN WILLIAMS) and the other a fun-loving bachelor (JOHN TRAVOLTA) — have their lives turned upside down when they’re unexpectedly charged with the care of six-year-old twins while on the verge of the biggest business deal of their lives. The not-so-kid-savvy bachelors stumble in their efforts to take care of the twins (newcomers ELLA BLEU TRAVOLTA and CONNER RAYBURN), leading to one debacle after another, and perhaps to a new-found understanding of what’s really important in life. –© Walt Disney Pictures

For myself, I want to sincerely thank Mr. Williams and Mr. Travolta for joining forces to make one single film I wish to avoid rather than two separate ones. It’s much more efficient, really.

I had to watch the trailer for this POS both times I saw Astro Boy… Dear God. I actually could care less about Travolta and Williams; I’m amazed Seth Green is in this. Doesn’t he get enough from Family Guy and Robot Chicken to not have to make crap like this? Yeah, ok, FG and RC aren’t exactly high culture, but at least in those, all he has to do is talk…
A 0% rating? Wow. You have to work really hard to get that. Good job, guys!

They ran the trailer for this before Where the Wild Things Are.

Ghastly. (Wild Things was quite good by the way, but strange– for a film made from a kids’ book it didn’t feel much like a kids’ movie somehow.)

I would rather handspring through a pen of hungry Rottweilers in a cheer kit made of beef jerky than watch this.

I really hope the writers of the Saw films don’t read this Site…

Family Guy’s Seth Green was in a Disney movie? Doesn’t FG routinely and visciously attack Disney? Seth appearing in this film would seem to be like Amon Goeth appearing in ‘Yentl’.

To be fair, Seth Green had a career before, and outside of, Family Guy. I wouldn’t really call him “Family Guy’s Seth Green” any more than I’d call him “Buffy the Vampire Slayer’s Seth Green”.

Yeah, he was on Buffy, and played Scott Evil in the Austin Powers movies. And he probably does a lot more with Robot Chicken than Family Guy, which he is the co-creator and co-producer of RC, and does voice acting for it, etc…

What’s new? Robin Williams has been unwatchable for years. With such crapfest losers as Patch Adams and Bicentennial Man one wonders if RW is not an earthly avatar of our horned demi-god.

As a supporting actor I find Williams to be a plus, like his performance in Death to Smoochy and his turn as a killer in Insomnia. But give him the lead and any movie moves into dreck territory. And I don’t mean an enjoyable bad movie either. I mean an eye gouging torture session. Didn’t Bicentennial Man have a 2 week running time? Seemed like it.

How about going for the old “Weird Al” standby? I’d rather jump naked on a huge pile of thumbtacks.
