What happens

Old Dogs is a 2009 American comedy film directed by Walt Becker, and starring John Travolta and Robin Williams, with Kelly Preston, Seth Green, Ella Bleu Travolta in her film debut, Lori Loughlin, and Matt Dillon in supporting roles. It was released in theaters on November 25, 2009 and it was released on March 9, 2010 on DVD. The film is dedicated to both Bernie Mac (who died in 2008, marking this movie as his final acting film role) and Jett Travolta (John Travolta and Kelly Preston's son and Ella Bleu Travolta's brother who died in 2009). The film was panned by critics and grossed $96.8 million worldwide on a $35 million budget. At the 30th Golden Raspberry Awards ceremony, Old Dogs was nominated in four categories: Worst Picture, Worst Actor for John Travolta, Worst Supporting Actress for Kelly Preston and Worst Director for Walt Becker.
