Column: 'Old Dads' on Netflix proves overly PC critics can't stop whining about fun
'Here We Are' review: Sondheim's last musical sadly doesn't singThere’s a whole lot of hemming and hawing going on in the reviews of comedian Bill Burr’s new Netflix comedy “Old Dads.”
That’s a lower rating than some far worse, borderline unwatchable Netflix comedies such as the Jennifer Aniston/Adam Sandler torture instrument “Murder Mystery 2” and the corked bottle of pinot that was Amy Poehler’s “Wine Country” . Now 51, the firebrand is unwillingly exposed to a parade of West Coast millennial parents’ hippy-dippy values, trigger warnings and goopy obsession with feelings at school. Every time a wimpy 30-year-old fellow dad criticizes his hands-off, old-school style, Jack bluntly eviscerates them with an insult.
We are fast nearing a downer reality where to be a well-regarded funny movie, you must always tow the culture war line and, better yet, throw in a Hollywood-approved message for self-protection.
