Posted on: June 25th, 2009 New Trailer: Old Dogs
As I was enjoying my current installment of Wipeout (mock me if you will), I happened to view a trailer for the upcoming comedy Old Dogs . The film stars Robin Williams and John Travolta, as two middle aged womanizers, who end up in charge if Travolta’s teenage twins.
Near as I can tell, it has sort of a Wedding Crashers meets Three men and Baby vibe to it, and since it is being put out by the masters of our universe, Disney, you can expect some good clean family fun similar to that of The Game Plan , The Pacifier or The Parent Trap. Though the trailer did give the impression that it would be more adult orientated then the aforementioned trio, and has comedic veterans Seth Green and Matt Dillion as some of the costars. This might be a wait and see it on DVD flick, but then again, some of the humor used in the trailer, indicate, to me anyways, that it may be worth my ten bucks.
I will say this though, if this comedy ends being a long the same lines as Robin Williams previous attempts to break back into comedy, I will be severely disappointed, being a big fan of his. As for Travolta, after fighting off the urge to tear out my eyes and burn them, watching Hairspray, I really have no high expectations for Travolta in this one, as he has lost a bit of that shine that once made him a box office draw a long time ago.
So check out the trailer below and let us know what you think, money maker or dud?
