The plot of Old Dads
Old Dads follows the events of three menwith one characteristic in common: having become late fathers.
Bill Burr is Jack Kelly, a middle-aged man with aggression problems who is unable to adapt to his new position as a father. His outbursts and extremely offensive comments get him into trouble at work, but also at his son’s school. Bobby Cannavale it’s Connor Brady, determined to be cool at all costs. Embarrassing and always out of place, he is a thorn in the side of his younger colleagues (and fathers). Bokeem Woodbine is Mike Richards, the most balanced of the three, who however begins to behave recklessly when he discovers that the girl (much younger than him) is pregnant.
Their vicissitudes are considered hilarious by the public (one user even called it “the best film of the last 15 years”). However, the criticism was not spared. An overseas critic wrote that, look Old Dadsmeans “listening to the unbridled rants of a man convinced that everyone is on his side, when in reality they abandoned him years ago.”
