The plot revolves around Dan Rayburn (Robin Williams), a divorced and somewhat neurotic man, and Charlie Reed (John Travolta), his charismatic and irresponsible business partner. They are on the verge of a major deal that could secure their financial future when Dan discovers he fathered twins during a brief encounter years ago. When the twins' mother must serve jail time, Dan and Charlie find themselves suddenly responsible for the children, leading to comedic situations as they struggle to adapt to parenthood and juggle their business responsibilities.

The film explores themes of family, responsibility, and the importance of friendship. It features a supporting cast including Kelly Preston, Matt Dillon, Justin Long, and Seth Green. Old Dogs was released in theaters on November 25, 2009, and received generally negative reviews from critics. Despite the negative critical reception, it achieved moderate success at the box office.
