However, when the straight-laced Jason is tricked into driving his foul-mouthed grandfather, Dick, to Daytona for spring break, his pending nuptials are suddenly in jeopardy.

    Dirty Grandpa is a movie that was made. You ever think about that—the types of movies that get made? Think about how many people had to approve of that. How many people arrived on set every day, for months, to film “Dirty Grandpa” with Robert De Niro and Zac Efron. What was the energy like there?

    Dirty Grandpa wasn't the first terrible movie made with wildly acclaimed actors, but it's the only movie I know with an ad campaign that openly bragged about tarnishing the legacy of its stars.

    If you like raunchy comedies and Audrey Plaza, watch "Dirty Grandpa" (not Bad Grandpa, that stars Knoxville). Audrey is gold in it, and the movie is hilarious from beginning to end.

    Alice Cooper said he never saw a great horror movie that wasn't also a great comedy...I would not advise him to endure 'Dirty Grandpa'. A true horror picture & not in the least bit mirthful!

    I pay some attention to them. A movie called "Dirty Grandpa" I want to be R rated. Because, a PG rated "Dirty Grandpa" isn't going to be very dirty, I think. But, Hail Mary Project can be rated anything.

    Not Dineros best movie, but in "Dirty Grandpa" there is a scene where the mischievous local town drug dealer draws penis swastikas on Dineros sons face who was passed out on the beach. Would love to see that on Keggersbreath with a sharpie! Heck, get Pedo-Rapist-Dotard-Donvict too when he is nappy

    Just saw Dirty Grandpa on cable and I gotta tell you, whoever they paid to censor that movie did NOT get paid enough. Its 2 out of every 3 sentences, practically. But you know what? Its actually funnier with so much of the movie censored.

    If he wins, every "greatest movie of all time" list has to readjust to make Dirty Grandpa the number one film, just to account for where the culture is (also, something with DeNiro getting unearned praise would drive him nuts)

    Dirty Grandpa has some of the BEST lines in film history: "Use it to hit your balls right into my vagina." "I want your last breath to be in my pussy." "I'm just a girl from Long Island City... who likes to fuck old people." "Tear open my bra like it's a Social Security check!" Aubrey Plaza.🫡

    Dirty Grandpa has an amazing cast, with Robert DeNiro, Zac Efron, Aubrey Plaza, Adam Pally, Jason Mantzoukas, Dermot Mulroney, and a surprisingly excellent Julianne Hough just GOING FOR IT. The film would be better-paced around 90 mins, but that's a nit. It's surprisingly emotional, and EARNS it.

    Vinted bundle! The Dark Tower (2017) Fairly disappointing King adaptation, but I'll give it a rewatch. Stardust (2007) A lovely film, despite elephant in the room. Onward (2020) Seen once, need a rewatch Dirty Grandpa (2016) Not expecting much tbh, but it had a red case that I have plans for.

    Dirty Grandpa: Reviewers clutched their pearls so HARD over this... stuck-up motherfuckers need to chillax and get themselves the OTHER kind of pearl necklace. A movie so intentionally offensive that you either love it, or are boring. Aubrey Plaza is DEMENTED in this (praise). #FilmSky Verdict: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    63 - Dirty Grandpa While I admit I have a soft spot for that kind of humour, the movie tried to shock the viewer a bit too much, so to say. It's one of those cases where a guilty pleasure movie would be the right label for this one

    I'm not saying I recommend Dirty Grandpa - in fact I think it was the worst film I saw in 2016 - but it does have Aubrey Plaza turning in perhaps the quintessential Aubrey Plaza performance, so it's not entirely without merit. Unlike Stephen Miller.

    The feud between Robert de Niro and Trump is fascinating. Watching the guy who played his role hilariously in the movie Dirty Grandpa, continuously denouncing the dirtiest old man ever elected to public office. Trump's biopic could never get a movie theatre release on the grounds of decency.

    > The usual, nothing innovative about it! Everything I wrote was just my personal opinion, definitely not intended to offend anybody. This should have been one of the best comedies of the year, but now it belongs to one of the worst. I recommend 'Grandma' instead this which I felt a much better comedy. At this age, Robert De Niro was unbelievably awesome, though his character needed a good support from another and that's where as usual Zac failed to deliver his part. I would have preferred…

    In the raucous and woefully wretched Dirty Grandpa director Dan Mazer's lazy and lethargic laugher gives a whole new meaning to the term "gag comedy" with the emphasis on the word gag. One might want to upchuck at this mindless ragtag romp that desperately tries too hard to reel in the obnoxious chuckles. Undoubtedly toothless, unimaginative, and aimlessly insipid the degenerative Dirty Grandpa has all the cheeky charm and hilarity as a waxy floor in an arthritic nursing home patient's dim lit…
