What I laughed at In Dirty Grandpa was the wackiness ensues in this dumb entertaining fantasy, it's not perfect and through out it's a painful, offensive and uncomfortable dirty film that a times it is a torturous to even watch, also it's painfully predictable.

Robert De-Niro makes another career-ruining decision, but Zac Efron is really good at these R-rated comedies (even if there crappy like Awkward Moment and this one), but it's outrageously funny with DeNiro's insolent one-liners, Efron attempts the straight man in a comedy, we have ourselves a strange outrageously funny comedy.

Zac Efron plays Jason, he's a lawyer who ditched his dreams of photography, to take a job at his father's (Dermot Mulroney) law firm, who's about to marry his nagging shrew fiance (Julianne Hough). Robert DeNiro plays Grandpa Dick, after his wife's funeral Jason agrees to take Dick to his home in Florida.

They pare up in Daytona Beach, all Grandpa Dick wants to do is have sex with women, because his dying wife's wish was he can get back out there again. Jason bumps into Shadia (Zoey Deutch) who's a photographer who used to be Jason's former photography class partner, Dick meets Lenore (played by Audrey Plaza) who's a college student also slut who is obsessed with having sex with ol' grandpa.

And their gay best friend Bradley (Jeffery Bower-Chapman) whom Dick seems to make fun of him because of his sexuality, are all heading to Daytona Beach, Florida, for spring break. DeNiro and Efron have good chemistry also DeNiro and Plaza have some funny decent chemistry as well, despite a crappy script by John M.

Phillips also a crazy direction by director Dan Mazer, I laughed.
