The stand-up comic plays a late-blooming family man in his directorial debut on Netflix, which also stars Bobby Canavale and Bokeem Woodbine.
The shtick of stand-up legend Bill Burr is the comedy of the oppressed—the oppressed in question being middle-aged males in a foreign land, i.e. the 2020s, where they can’t say what they want, smoke where they want, win an argument with a woman or lay claim to the victimhood that seems to give everyone else the upper hand. The Burr persona is angry, ironic and, quite often, hilarious. If you find him offensive, it might be because he’s making fun of you. And you might be him.
Mr. Burr takes his mock-bitter social critique to feature-length in “Old Dads,” his directorial debut and a story whose principal victims have brought their woes upon themselves: Guys in their 50s, involved with women in their 30s, unprepared for fatherhood, or more fatherhood, or being a role model in a world of feeeelings, participation medals and restorative-justice circles.This copy is for your personal, non-commercial use only.
