Review of Dirty Grandpa (2016) by Kckrause — 30 Nov 2016
First of all understand this is a raunchy "frat style" movie filled with vulgar language and scenes from beginning to end - it is NOT a movie meant to be critiqued in quality of script or plot. Basically it boils down to an old widowed "grandpa" who just wants to do all the "dirty" stuff he could not do while he was faithfully married to grandma. If you sit back and do not take anything too seriously - as in plot line or script - it is very funny from beginning to end...in grandpa relives a frat party kinda way! 9 for acting - especially from Deniro, 7 for script and 5 for the predictable plot line...
The movie is a great way to escape into 90 minutes of a ridiculously raunchy funny "dirty grandpa" leading his buttoned up grandson from one obscenely raunchy scene to another. What made it work for me was Deniro! He is a veteran genius actor who - no matter what movie he is in - can still carry any scene or movie he wants! Considering the plot line and script was predictable Efron and Deniro played well off each other as the movie jumped from one ridiculous scene to another.
In the end it is a great movie to just sit back drink a beer or two and laugh without expecting much more other than funny acting from Deniro. 90 minutes of grandpa acting and talking like a dirty old man - while his grandson trys to understand what the heck is wrong with my grandpa! I laughed from beginning to end and at least in the past most raunchy frat style movies - ranging from Porky's to Bad Grandpa - made me laugh far less. If you laughed watching Meet the Fockers/Parents/Little Fockers, Neighbors, Caddyshack, Stripes, etc.
