Reviews
|
Philadelphia Inquirer -
It runs a fast 88 minutes, is broad as the waistlines of its stars, and is remarkably family-friendly if you don't mind bathroom humor.

|
Miami Herald -
Nostalgia is part of the modest charm of this disposable but inoffensive picture. Old Dogs makes old dogs out of all of us.
|
|
Variety -
Too bad this shrilly tuned comedy doesn't demand more than clock-punching effort from everyone involved.
|

St. Louis Post-Dispatch -
Old Dogs is so oafish, when it tosses us a biscuit, it feels like we've been smacked with a newspaper.

|
The Hollywood Reporter -
Insipid, predictable, broad comedy mixed with Disney Family Values makes for one exasperating sit.
