Old Dads

They finally reach a moment of growth and understanding after a day filled with chaos and misadventure. Jack, who has struggled with anger throughout the film, confronts his issues head-on by going to therapy, which helps him learn to control his temper better. This change is reflected in how he manages his emotions, especially during a heated moment when he is angry at the principal at his son’s school. Rather than lashing out or yelling, Jack now responds more calmly, which shows he is genuinely working on himself. Meanwhile, Mike makes a heartfelt apology to his girlfriend for being distracted and commits to being more present in his family life, even proposing marriage. Conner, who had always been in a tense and controlling marriage, also stands up for himself, indicating some personal growth. The film concludes with all three friends having experienced some form of self-improvement. Jack’s attendance at therapy signifies that he’s learned to better handle his anger, and he’s committed to being a better husband and father. They’ve faced their issues, made amends, and are starting to move forward—highlighting that even in the roughest moments, change is possible if one is willing to confront their flaws. The ending leaves us with a sense of hope that these men are on a path toward becoming better versions of themselves, having learned from their mistakes during this tumultuous day.
