About Old Dads
Old Dads follows Jack, a gruff middle aged father, and his two closest friends as they watch the world around them pivot toward a brisker, more corporate parenting culture. Millennial bosses, ambitious principals, and a changing playbook for parenting push their old school routines to the edge. Instead of adapting gracefully, the trio leans into their rough humor and stubborn camaraderie, resulting in a series of cringe-worthy and heartwarming misfires. Through fast lines and physical jokes, they stumble from one chaotic scenario to the next, trying to prove that a little stubborn common sense still has a place in modern life.
Directed by Bill Burr, Old Dads is a 2023 comedy built from an original screenplay credited to Burr with Ben Tishler listed as creator. The ensemble includes Burr alongside Bobby Cannavale, Bokeem Woodbine, Katie Aselton and Reign Edwards. It blends sharp punch lines with surprisingly tender scenes about family and aging.
