Netflixhas acquired comedianBill Burrs feature directorial debutOld Dads, which we were first to report on, slating the comedy for an October 20th premiere.
Hailing from Miramax, Burrs All Things Comedy, and All of Us Productions, the film in which Burr also stars centers on his middle-aged father, Jack, and his two best friends (Bobby Cannavale and Bokeem Woodbine), who after selling their company to a millennial, find themselves out of step and behind the times as they hilariously struggle to navigate a changing world of culture, career and fatherhood.
