old Dogs


Today saw the film "Old DOgs" @ South Bank Cinema and it's about 2 best friends Dan (Robin Williams) & Charlie(John Travolta) who are also co workers in sports Marketing. 7 years before Dan had been once married but divorced after 14 years and charlie takes Dan on a wild vacation to cheer him up which he meets an woman named Vicki(Kellie Preston) as well as her friend Jenna(rita Wilson) and on the sAME NIGHT DAN & VICKI MARRY BUT IT'S SHORT LIVED.

7 years later Dan & Vicki meet again and tells dan that they have twins Emily(ella bleu Travolta) and Zac(Conner Rayburn). Dan offers to take the children while Vicki is in jail for a 2weeks for activist crime and jenna was going to look after the children but Dan accidently injures her hand and they stay with Dan &Charlie which leads to wACKY & INTERESTING adventures. This film is very good and very funny with great performances by John Travolta and Robin Williams as well as great performances by Kellie preston, Rita wilson, Lori Loughlin who plays Amanda, ann margaret plays martha, seth green who plays Craig white who works with dan and charlie, matt dillion who plays troop leader barry when the kids are at scout camp, the late Bernie Mac who died in 2008 plays Jimmy Lunchbox, Ella Bleu Travolta and Conner Rayburn as the kids & others as well. It's directed by Walter Becker and produced by Robert Levy, peter Abrams and Andrew Panay. I give this 4 stars and it's out now in the cinemas
