Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.
Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.
Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.
The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
Just another vulgar classless boring waste of time. Fit for 13 year old males in the locker room. Nothing adult, inspirational, uplifting, or funny about it. We outgrew this stuff in junior high. We thought a movie with Shirley Jones and Doris Roberts would be funny and clever. I guess they have no dignity. Nothing but swearing, vulgar behavior, smoking pot endlessly, having no direction in life. Sad commentary on some of today's society. Anyone who thought this was funny was probably drunk or stoned. I wish someone would come up with some truly funny movies with clever ideas instead of using trash to entertain those with no morals. We may as well still be in the cave with the rest of the apes if this is the best society can produce.
I guess I'm in the minority on this page but I thought this movie was awful.Just a lot more of the same old typical pothead and gross out humour start to finish.Basically the only thing funny about the whole movie to me was simply the premise, that a 35 year old loser was still living at home with his grandmother. Not much different from the usual living at home with the parents and the quality of the movie showed that, just the typical old lady jokes.I don't recommend this one unless you're a very big fan of stoner/loser movies.
Grandma's Boy is about a 35 year old video game tester has to move in with his grandma and her two old lady roommates. This is one of the few movies starring everyone Happy Madison except Adam Sandler. Even Jonah Hill is in this film before his breakthrough in Superbad.It had a great plot, only bad thing is that it didn't have much of a storyline. But it didn't matter much because their shenanigans were entertaining and funny.Grandma's Boy is a cult classic and stoner film. What else could you ask for? It's a shame it didn't do well on the box office, it's truly an underrated comedy. Maybe it was the title of the movie, I don't know.7/10
Absolute rubbish. I'm really not sure how it has managed to garner such a high rating on IMDb (maybe pot smokers are getting discounts from their dealers if they log on to IMDb and give this movie a high rating?) Basically this is a film about stoners, for stoners that was written by stoners.It's just a series of jokes about pot and sex all thrown together in one 90 minute montage, and it's not even technically proficient.There are lots of scenes that do absolutely nothing to advance the plot. There is ZERO character arc for the lead protagonist. There is almost no plot development (which makes for a completely flat and boring film) apart from the initial set up, and then a brief flurry at the very end which is meant to inject drama into the story. However this final attempt to salvage the plot from being a complete flat-line is so poorly executed, credulous and quickly resolved that it simply may as well not even be there. Even the way this film has been shot and edited together is confusing (at one point, because of the way the actor has been directed and the scene has been shot, the impression is given that the female lead may have something to hide - but no, there is no secret, just poor direction, shooting and editing.) Even the supposed love story in this film is nonsensical - the character of the female lead is simply not developed in any substantial way, and so we don't care about her because we just don't know her. She is literally there to play a formulaic part so that the male lead ends up with a girl at the end.It's just a really bad movie that has been poorly crafted, and which introduces several different themes but never really develops any one of them properly into a cohesive storyline or character arc - it literally starts us off a journey, and then gets lost in pothead woods.(This is probably the harshest review I've ever written on IMDb yet, by the way).
