Director: Bill Burr
Three lifelong friends hit fatherhood late, and the world around them has already moved on without waiting for them to catch up.
What is Old Dads about?
Jack runs a paintball supply business alongside his two closest friends, Connor and Mike, and all three are raising young children well past the age most of their peers finished that job. Jack's son is about to start at a competitive preschool run by an administrator who treats admissions like a corporate negotiation, while Jack's old company gets absorbed by a much younger CEO who speaks a different professional language entirely. Connor faces a similar generational mismatch trying to co-parent with an ex who has moved on to a partner steeped in wellness culture. Mike, meanwhile, is adjusting to a second shot at parenthood with a much younger spouse. None of the three men are prepared for a version of adulthood that no longer runs on their old assumptions, and the friction between their instincts and the world's new rules of engagement drives most of the comedy.
Cast & crew
Bill Burr writes, directs, and stars as Jack, leaning into the same blunt comic persona that built his stand-up career, while Bobby Cannavale and Bokeem Woodbine round out the friend group with contrasting energy — Cannavale more anxious, Woodbine more resigned. Katie Aselton, Rachael Harris, and Miles Robbins fill out the family and workplace subplots that keep pulling the three dads into uncomfortable modern situations.
Context & significance
Released in 2023, the film sits inside a run of workplace and parenting comedies that use generational friction as their central engine, contrasting Gen X instincts against millennial and Gen Z norms around parenting, corporate culture, and communication. Burr's writing keeps the tone closer to his stand-up specials than a conventional studio comedy, favoring rants and set-piece arguments over tidy sitcom structure.
