"Old Dogs" was nominated for a Razzie and it was also praised by Pete Hammond as "Hilarious! Fun for the whole family." If you're curious whether it's a stinker or "one of the best family films of the year," as Sandie Newton of CBS-Dallas pronounced it, you won't have to wait long to judge for yourself.

Disney announced that "Old Dogs" will be available on Blu-ray Combo Pack on March 9, 2010. Here's the release:

Dan (Robin Williams) and his best friend and business partner Charlie (John Travolta) are on the verge of the biggest deal in the history of their sports marketing firm when their lives are turned upside down by a surprise visit from Dan´s ex-wife Vicki (Kelly Preston). Vicki has big news for Dan—their ever-so-brief liaison produced twins Zach (Conner Rayburn) and Emily (Ella Bleu Travolta), now seven-years-old and in need of a
dad to keep an eye on them for two weeks. With only high-living playboy Charlie for support, Dan´s bumbling attempts at "on the job training" in fatherhood result in a series of disastrously funny exploits that lead him to a new understanding of what really matters in life. Featuring an extraordinary cast of comedy purebreds including Seth Green, Matt Dillon and Lori Loughlin, Old Dogs will have audiences rolling over and begging for
