Review of Old Dads

Old Dads (2023)
7/10
Challenging The Way Of Thinking About The New Era From Men In The Old Era!
21 October 2023
A dark comedy from Netflix that satirizes the social aspects of the new era. It's quite astonishing, but part of it might be because it's the directorial debut of Bill Burr , a renowned comedian in the United States who's known for his edgy stand-up humor. (I'm not American, didn't know much about him before) it received a wave of criticism, some to the point of giving it a 1/10 or 0/10 rating, labeling it as trash.

However, on the viewers' side, opinions sharply contrasted, with many considering it a confrontational film aimed squarely at critics. It also mocks the problems of the modern world where society is rapidly shifting from the old ways. Those who belong to this later group tend to agree that this is a film worth watching. But it comes with a caveat: it's not suitable for the most sensitive of modern audiences. So, it's a matter of perspective, but definitely worth a watch for the right audience.

This is not a film that can be called excellent or accurately depict the social issues of both the old and new eras. However, it deserves praise for daring to stand out, especially coming from Netflix, a modern media platform. Even though it might seem like it's trying to create drama, one thing is for sure - it's genuinely hilarious. If you're someone who doesn't belong entirely to the past or the present, you should definitely give it a watch. But for those viewers edge of the modern era, Be warned that watching it can definitely leave you frustrated and exasperated.
