The entire movie is a depiction of the quote “most men lead a life of quiet desperation”. Just getting the life crushed out of them one passive aggressive comment at a time until they are an empty shell of a man with no joy left in life.
It’s a pretty sad movie actually.
you got it
Spot on bud. I find your thoughts are better thanbthis review.
My pronoun is "Turd" after watching this review.
You took the words out of my mouth.
I wanted to like the movie but they really tried to drive home the left perspective. Men can't be men and if you have an opinion of free speech, you might as well not have one and just let go and get beat down. Not okay and not a good message to any father.
I am going to repost your post hope you don't mind
bill murr reacting to his own movie is crazy
I enjoy Bill Burr spontaneously getting pissed off and and laying into it ferociously. He should write a movie about driving across country and how his car breaks down in Philadelphia. 😂
If you know, you know.
😂😂
Yes!!!!! 😂
THE PHILADELPHIA EPISODE WAS HILARIOUS 😊
Bill Burr’s wife in this movie, Leah, is an absolute nightmare. I was rooting for divorce. She sided with everyone except her husband throughout the entire movie. There was no chemistry between them, but I could certainly feel the hate brewing.
I’m 45 and from Massachusetts. I identify so well with Bill Burr and his comedy. Brought up tough as a kid, low tolerance for BS, stupidity and how sensitive and self absorbed the younger generation is. This movie didn’t navigate towards either generation. It showed the weaknesses and strengths of both and how we can coexist so it’s not that bad at all. It’s not some Oscar nomination but, it’s funny and lot of truth in it and truth hurts but doesn’t make it wrong...and Dr. L is your typical Karen who thinks she has the right to act like an entitled “C You Next Tuesday”...you’ll see in the movie, Bills character was never really wrong in the whole thing.
This movie was written by the people who told you to get off our lawn when you were younger
Bill's character wasn't wrong, and that's why it didn't connect to his audience. His wife blew up and told her friend off, and when Bill confronted her he understood and moved on. Even considering the fact he lost his friend in the process. It would've been nice to see a supportive wife, but I only seen a hypocrite. Oh, and on the ride home in the cab, when he had the revelation, how he will end up if he wasn't able to control his anger was weak. Considering that he became famous off shitting on others and ranting remarkably. Bill played it safe in a time where we needed brutal honesty
I'm 30 and this movie was brilliant.
Oh my "C You Next Tuesday" is the best lol
Im 24, and this movie was great 😂
I enjoyed it because I identified with all of the things I have to deal with as a Gen Xer in today’s world. Wasn’t expecting it to be the best movie ever
I gave your comment a thumbs down btw. I also wonder why someone of your generation would call this the best movie ever made, sense you grow up with the best movies made.... You had the best scary movies, romance movies and action movies. The Movies that shaped generation after yours before this go woke and go broke happened. That is what this movie will fall under.
@@larrychandler607I think they meant they didn’t come into watching the movie thinking it would be the best movie ever. Meaning it wasn’t, they just had low expectations. Idk could be wrong that’s how I read it though.
Yep it's bad. Feels like a middle aged man made up a bunch of millennial characters and fantasized about the disses he would say to them.
That's why it was hilarious, it was refreshing to see a movie that pushes back against the woke cult that's taken over Hollywood.
@@Elwood128 I just thought it seemed like the same old jokes I've heard a million times and the California/millennial stereotype was way overblown. If they made the millennial figures more subtly woke and image-obsessed and let Bill's character have more edge it could have been really funny. I just didn't find it very funny.
@@Elwood128You are such a dougan
Indeed. It was rubbish and not even enjoyable in a cathartic way because Burr's character was a simp. It would have been at least fun if he'd been genuinely misanthropic and committed to the character. It was completely neutered, the (lame) jokes as well. Oh gosh, calling a teacher a "cunt"! The edge! @@jeff9316
The wives was awful one was just crazy.. the pregnant one was okay publicly shaming him in public just so her son could go to private school and never stands by him. The younger one expected him not to question the the pregnancy even though he had a vasectomy
Yeah I had a problem with Jack’s wife too she’s a people pleaser. Yeah some supportive partner she is
His wife made me so mad because he only sold his business because she needed private school. Otherwise he wouldnt have had all this bad luck. Also that Doctor was very mean twords him. Aside from anger issues it wasnt his fault. All the ladies made me mad in this movie actually
Same! Especially that snap.😡
💯💯💯👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
*their child needed private school. Ironic how a film about being your own man and standing your ground in a changing world would blame all the main character's choices on other people
As a HUGE Bill Burr fan, I went into this with low expectations since this is his first directing gig, but I knew he was getting better at acting (his second appearance in The Mandalorian was phenominal) but I thoroughly enjoyed it. A lot of it was a mix of his standup bits mixed with F is for Family, so I knew where certain things were going...but I still got a kick out of it.
Loved when they were in the strip club and you could hear "okay boomer!" in that distinctive voice that we all know is his wife Nia hahah I've only heard her voice and saw her in pictures, so I didn't even recognize her right away towards the end when she played the nurse!
It would have been easier if a parent company also owned the car rental company.
His wife was horrible. Idk, called out white guys and made them seem bad, but passively made the other types look bad too.
They address the whole kid school thing. Burr says that public school was fine, but his wife says she has heard him complain endlessly about public school and she wants something different for her kids.
Shit ending. A broken man by society and wife gives up.
Spot on. That’s the movie in a nutshell.
Burr has to offset his jokes by being an overly deferential simp.
I think my main beef with the film is the conclusion.
The film concludes that bill burr is wrong about everything.
Nobody comes his way, he starts crying and even then his wife is like "man up bitch and see your daughter". Like nobody else other than his two friends have his back at all - and then HE is apparently the one that needs therapy!? Bulls**t man.
Humour was 4/5
Story was 2/5
Ide give it 3/5. Its watchable and entertaining. Could watch it again when im bored.
He couldn't swallow his pride for his own child's wellbeing, then went to a strip club and missed his daughter's birth. He got lucky at the end.
@@jeff9316You dont think its important for his son to see him stand up for himself? God forbid, he might not get into the private school they wanted him to go to.
@@rowanmelton7643 Kid isn't old enough to tell what was going on. And they established that Bill's character didn't want the kid to go to that public school either. Swallow your pride for what is truly only a couple of hours a week in order to open up doors for your child and help your wife get what she would like for her child - or be a loudmouth and decrease the quality of your child's education while brushing off what your wife would like for her child? Seems like an easy choice to me.
@@jeff9316 It's stated in the film she's weeks early. I liked this film and most of the humor, but I agree that the conclusion was poorly executed.
@@jeff9316 He was also publicly humiliated for being 2 minutes late. That's not right either and I personally don't blame him for being pissed off about how he was treated for a first time offense. Granted, the outburst was more than what was required in that situation, so there is fault on his end. However, she was also incredibly condescending and clearly got off on it. Furthermore, when he man's up to apologize. she AGAIN publicly humiliates him with that ridiculous village apology. I was kind of appalled the wife just stood by and thought that was ok--I would have objected to that immediately if that was my husband.
glad i watched it, it was funy.
I actually enjoyed this movie better than I thought! I used to listen to Bill’s Monday Morning Podcast pretty religiously years ago. And a lot of his stories are pretty much visualized in the film which can be satisfying cause it’s like an inside joke within a joke, I guess? Also, I know Joseph loves Patrice O’Neal and I have a theory that Bokeem Woodbine was a version of Patrice when we first met him. He was cool, calm collected and seemed to have figured out how to keep his life copacetic. Patrice would totally be that guy to have his ex and his new girl being good friends, and sit back cause his kids are grown 😂. And Bobby Cannavale is probably a version of one of Bill’s good friends, Paul Virzi (who did a cameo- he was the random guy getting beat up at the strip club just for being there). I also like that his wife in real life made an appearance as the nurse in the end. I thought it was cute, some parts weren’t that great but most was very entertaining. I didn’t expect a very deep philosophical film from him but I thought it was a good debut of Bills bio 😂. Thank you for reviewing!!
This isn't a comedy, it's a documentary of the horror of modern day marriage and the completely screwed up society we live in
Nah man it was actually a really enjoyable movie I laughed consistently throughout the movie which is more than I can say for a lot of comedies although that is just my personal opinion
Same. I love Bill.
Let's remember that even straight guys feel pressured from society to settle down and have kids, even if it's the last thing they want to do.
This is true. However the stigma against childless women is still much stronger...even in today's society.
I loved this movie. It was so….. funny
You must be over 45
@@Jacob-nu4ndShe enjoyed the movie. Does it you feel good hating on someone because of that?
Guess you haven’t learned, “If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all.”
FYI, we all know who the one like on your comment is from.
@@Jacob-nu4nd what's wrong with being over 45? We should die so you can spend your life complaining? You would miss us. Douche.
Im 14 and i loved this movie this generation is just fuced everyone is so sensitive and i could go on for hours
@@blazer308please continue
Regale us with your wisdom
Old dads is not a good movie mostly because of Jack’s anger being 100% justified and yet the movie try to paint him in a negative light. And the wife is so freaking useless and a hypocrite.
So glad Nick liked Natural Selection. It was filmed in my small Texas hometown ( Husband and I were extras) Rachael Harris is a lovely person ( she joked about us both being Harris)as are Jon Gries, John Diehl and writer/director Robbie Pickering. They were very professional and very kind. One day after filming they bought ice cream for everyone. They went out of their way to speak to everyone-Pickering came over and sat with my husband and me in the restaurant while waiting to film. He was interested in how we were finding the experience of being on a movie set and wanted to know about life in our town. We really enjoyed being a teeny part of the process and came to appreciate the art of filmmaking- such a collaborative an exacting process. I see where Pickering has gone on to have a successful career screenwriting for tv. My son and I had been on the set of Hope Floats in 1997, but it was a lot less intimate. For that film-I was most excited to see Gena Rowland in the flesh-more than Sandra Bullock or Harry Connick.
Im a huge Bill Burr fan, love his standup and really liked F is for Family, but this movie sucked. The characters were shit, awful people. All of them. The stereotypes were so overdone they just came across as ridiculous, and the story is lame and has been done before. I was really looking forward to this based on the cast, but I'm so disappointed with this crap movie
I love Bill Burr too.
Your reviews are fire...thanks
His wife was really on him about that school she played a huge role in
This movie was awesome. Gen X is trash and it really points out the absurdity of woke culture.
Define woke
That movie was very funny and quotable (no cap lol). Love u guys.
It was a great movie. It was consistently funny, and right about the current woke climate. The only problem was the way the problems were resolved. . .seemed tacked on as an after thought
I felt like there wasn't a lot of authentic growth, and quite honestly, there didn't need to be. Their behavior is presented as a problem when it really is broader society that has become unhinged. The most notable lack of growth where there could have been growth is the wives choosing social clout over their husbands.
Huh, “C U Next Tuesday”. Cleaver 😊
Is this satire?
Edit: Oh I got it. This isnt satire. My bad.
Y’all should review “what is a woman” if you really want to see the comedy around this new generation 😂
I like Bill Burr a lot, but exactly what you said in the beginning. His stand-up is funny because he doesn't have to share the spotlight with others. I also feel like the film is one-sided. Kinda like Bill Burr is right and everyone else is fucked up. Yes, it's a letdown.
I love Bill Burr, but damn that movie was so depressing 😢
I couldn't help but feel sorry for the characters 😢
Watched it and remind me of GTA style of satire and social commentary. Good movie.
The movie was very honest. I was pretty much angry as hell all throughout it. It was very accurate with what men have to go through in today society.
Blew my mind. No, excuse me I need to go take my blood pressure😂
it's such a bad movie,just a vehicle to transport lazy boomer jokes. or i guess gen x jokes. but it's sooo generic, forgetable and stupid. it almost made me angry for how stupid and lazy it was.. i do like bill burr and i think it could have been smarter. bit it wasn't.. it was just dumb and noon will rewatch that movie ever
So it's a run of the mill comedian-led comedy with a cast of comedic actors.

Good movie. Loved the gen Z jokes even tho I’m in that age range kids my age are annoying just like the parents in the movie. All 3 guys also had terrible partners they need new wives
I thought of Wild Hogs too! Lmao I've never seen that but this looks equally unappealing. I've always thought he was so funny but he's got some boomer moments. That comedy showcase he dropped on Netflix (i think) was so incredibly unfunny, I only got about 10 minutes in.
Is Bobby super cute or am I crazy?
I'm gonna subscribe cause I like you guys but saying that you are "gay homosexuals" is funny cracks me up
My lady friend and I watched it last night. I’m a Bill Burr fan; she doesn’t watch much comedy.
It has many parts that are hilarious. The antagonists (the school principal and the men’s new boss) help by being clueless and inept do-gooders.
We both identified with the protagonists (we’re in our 60’s). It really delivered on the fan service for our age group.
There was no deep message. There was just three good guys fighting to be valued in a hostile (and absurd) society they no longer recognize.
The three men do undergo a character arc that leaves them at least partly accepting the new culture. The movie doesn’t vindicate old white guys like I hoped it would, but it doesn’t ridicule them either. I’ll settle for half a win.
It was a good movie that played well for laughs. My score: 7/10. My lady friend’s score: 6/10.
I was rooting for Bill Burr!
Fishjelly is the best movie review videos on the net! Y’all are funny, informative and I don’t always agree but that’s what makes it fun. And y’all review every new movie, what could be better
Anytime I hear Nick's pull quote, i know im going to get a read from Shakespeare lol but I know im going to get an English breakdown when Joseph's reads his lol. Im like okay thats qhat Nick meant in simpler words 😂
I love how yall balance each other out ❤. Keep up the amazing work, fellas!
Oooooo, imagine if Dave Chappelle played Mike.
I thought the movie was brilliant hit many great points. It shows how things make plenty of sense old school if you give it deeper thought, then you see the hypocritical points of the new school but why it has a place in this world. Ultimately we need to see that we all need to be more adaptive whether old or new and there is a sweet spot in the middle. I appreciate that as rough Bill Burr is, he was a good father loved his children immensely and learns to get help and go to therapy in the end but still stand in his truth without being a toxic to thy self- people pleaser.
I had the biggest crush on C. Thomas Howell back in the day. Id never expect him and Bruce Dern and all these other people to be in the same movie. Neck lift? 😆
I shut this this film off after 10 minutes. The humor felt so forced...
This movie sucked. Watched it with the family last night. Shitty acting. Plot line was stupid. Laughed maybe 2 times
I thought the Movie Sucked... It was just Adult men acting stupid and failing to stand up for themselves...It was a Nurtured version of Bill Burr and I have lost respect for him.
I’ve never been a fan of Burr but tried to give the movie a chance, it was horrible, I lasted for 10 minutes before turning it to king of queens.
Yeesh, I hate that I now know this movie exists lol (but I respect y’all’s opinions 😘)
This will be an intriguing review....
I was a fan of Bill Burr's. After a few years of therapy and time, his work doesn't fit me anymore. Skilled comedian, yet he has gender bias and class issues reflected in his stand-up comedy, in my perception. Thanks for watching this movie for me, so I don't have to....
🤣🤣🤣
Your comment is probably the cringiest thing I've read this month.
I swear are people asperges these days? Their inability to take a joke is truly perplexing.
Okay. To follow up. Bill Burr has a podcast platform, All Things Comedy. Jackie Kashian is a multi-decade comedian who deplatformed her podcast from Bill Burr's platform. She stated publicly that gender bias was a main reason she removed her podcast from Bill Burr's platform. At least 2 pro comedians left his platform citing gender bias. These are direct examples.
"Gender bias" = being male, having a shred of dignity and not being a feminist simp.@@mida2202
I liked the movie.
I'm Gen X & aside from a few funny moments...these characters & situations were annoying AF 🙄
This movie is not comedy it's Horror.
Yeah Im Bill Burr fan myself but if about other characters saying he’s wrong then he should have fired his producers
I think it’s too tame for Bills fan base and I think it would have worked better as a series
This movie is pretty bad. It is not funny at all. It is well acted, but I am still bored most of the time. F is for Family is great. This was just a dud for sure though.
You have no sense of humor if you didn't laugh at the rental car scene, it was brilliant.
It was just old Bill Burr shit the whole time. The fact that he thinks a Cunt joke is funny says enough. He is washed and this movie was ass.@@Elwood128
Good evening
I'm Gen X and I can't express how much I hate these kinds of "comedies". They used to be just lame. But now, with all the Anti-Woke stuff mixed in, they're insufferable.
We need more anti-woke movies to push back against Hollywood, people are sick of the woke cult taking over society the same way religious zealots did in the 80's.
More than likely I will pass on seeing this film. Tonight I watched "Killers of the Flower Moon." It was really incredible and I thoroughly enjoyed the message. Also it was a horrific story that needed to be told.
Great movie!
Loved this movie!
I wanted to like this movie but it’s just not that funny.
I like bill burr but this movie was annoying as fuck to watch
In the middle of the movie if Bill was an Alien then the whole movie would had made sense lol I love Bill Burrs standup and this movie did not even compare to how funny this guy is. For me it was a disappointment. "Basic, and tired" is a very well way of summing this up.
*If* the writing was 'labored and plodding', could be the *old-school crowd* was purposefully the target...😊At first I thought the "fax" - as in - *They didn't get the Fax* - was "Facts!" 😀This may give me the yawns!😊
Ho hum 😴😴😴😴
Review Bad Behavior w Jennifer Connelly
Sounds like a snorefest.
Facts, it seemed boring.
I thought so too but it actually had some good moments.
it's not
It plays like a 5 hour movie. Slow, boring and nonsensical.
Predictable teenage raunchy humor done poorly. Not one likable character.
Stand ups should not write and direct their own movies. Bill Burr’s comedic talents do not translate into movies…Old Dads sucked. It follows the painfully unfunny model of having the main character surrounded by over-the-top one-dimensional caricatures for them to riff on. Ricky Gervais has been doing that for years now.
The rental car scene and the scene with Connor hiding in the bathroom was hilarious, but the ending kinda sucked. I still give it 7/10 just for pissing off all the woke freaks.
They shouldn't act in their own movies, because they can't act.
Worth watching once. Twice no.
what in the early 2010s republican propaganda is this dumpsterfire of a movie
i live bill burr but this sucked
This movie was sooo poorly done it was completely forced and unnatural, how anyone enjoyed it is beyond me and i like offensive humor but this was nott done well because of all the over acting
This premise sounds like a very bad, unfunny ripoff of "City Slickers". The 3 male characters are just the same, mid-life crisis and onto a road trip. Bill Burr, like Joe Rogan, has become a shell of the person he used to be.
He's gotten lazy, but at least he's speaking up against the woke cult.
I didn't like the film at all. It was not funny and the story is just a patchwork of stories that go nowhere. The acting is bad too. I love Bill Burr's stand up but this movie is just terrible and painfull to watch.
This movie was utter garbage
This movie sucks. Bill Burr should be ashamed
Still best movie i have seen whole year.
is it the only one you saw this year?
@@danel1922 nah it's all i doo in my free time watch movies. And till this moment this was the best comedy i watched in year 2023, well year is not ower yet, so things might change. But i doubt it. As i say comedy is subjective so your taste might be different. And probably you are from USA so definitely your humor sense is different.
@@policis why would you think that i am from USA?
@@danel1922 based on your reply 🤣
@@policis i get now why you think it's the best movie youe've seen the whole year
Watched the first 40 minutes or so. Thought it was pretty crap, got bored, did something else. Didn't make me laugh once. Basically just a collection of internet jokes from 10 years ago strung together in an unconvincing plot. And Burr is not a good enough actor to make it interesting.
7:51 oh this f*cking tea, seriously snip snip ✂️ enough with the breeding. And don’t even get me started on the ubiquity of the term “breeding” in the gay online discourse bc girl… ☝️😩😫🤌

Ok breeder.
