Old Dogs

Seen at: Cinema Save 6, Fort Collins, on Jan. 19.

Finally got around to seeing this one. It was finally leaving the three-buck cinema, so it was the last week. Time to act.

This is probably the worst Hollywood movie of 2009. I can't think of anything worse (certainly Transformers 2 is more offensive, but goes down in flames in grandiose style that made me enraged for days).

Old Dogs is just pathetic. The script is terrible, trite, and cliche-ridden. It is full of saccharine Postmodern messages about sex roles of men and women that feed the "man-boy" phenomenon.

John Travolta looks like he is wincing through the entire thing. Every scene has some ridiculous slapstick.

There's something charming that a movie this terrible and unwatchable could be made these days.

Here's the kicker: it was Disney. Disney! Has the Mouse gone mad?

No awards. Not best at anything. Lots of head shaking on the way out.
