My wife and I stumbled upon a new Netflix Bill Burr movie on Saturday night, called Old Dads. I wouldn't call it a great movie, by any means. But it was funny, it hit on a lot of cultural touchpoints, and it did enough of making fun of the Old Dads (as well as everybody around them) to make it work. Worth a watch for old dudes like all of us who have nothing better to do.

The really fascinating thing about this movie is how it is being received. 20% rating by the Rotten Tomatoes movie critics and 90% rating from the audience. It's almost like the movie is playing itself out in real life movie reviews. I wouldn't expect a broad audience to like the move, but if you are an old guy, you'll probably see some things you like.

Anyway, what do you think?

Will watch. On IMDb, comedies, across the board, rarely get above a low 6 rating and I don't know why.

I read about Old Dads today in the DM:
Netflix fans brand new number one comedy movie the 'best they've watched in years'

Netflix original films usually suck because although they may have great stars and premises, the writing is weak. (think Triple Frontier, A+ cast, A+ premise, D writing ). For that reason I was surprised that Reptile was pretty decent, and a great Benicio Del Toro vehicle.
