Grandma's Boy Audience Reviews

Acensbart Excellent but underrated film
Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
Paynbob It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
Gary The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
robert-macc This is the most god-awful junk in the world of comedy right now. Seriously, the white characters say "bro" so much in, and they're teens. It's portrayed as modern language. No, you idiots. "Bro" is not white, or black slang. Folks, who have a brain, if you want a movie with a lot of "bro" usage, check out "The Bronx War" -- Puerto Rican characters using it, or "Street War: In the Line of Duty," in which an Italian Hispanic character uses it. Those are realistic movies, cause Hispanics and Italians use the word a lot. Even "JERSEY SHORE" is more realistic than this trash. Folks, avoid this one at all costs. It's stupid and the story lines are unrealistic too.
anthonymichaelbangert This is a strange and interesting stoner comedy. The plot doesn't really have a clear conflict, it just kind of tells a story. A 35 year old video game tester (the best in his company) is evicted from his home when his roommate doesn't pay the rent because he would rather pay for Philippino hookers. He is forced to move in with his grandmother and her two crazy old roommates. He introduces the women to the wonders of cable television, weed, and video games, one of which he is developing himself. At work, he boasts about his, "crazy sexy roommates" as the reason he comes into work tired all the time. At his job, he is supposed to be playing a new game behind schedule due to many bugs in the system and reporting on them. A new girl is brought on to the project to make sure it releases by its proposed deadline. The game's creator (a weird, awkward man who thinks he is a robot) wants to date the girl, as well as the main character. A battle ensues, that can not be discussed without giving away the ending. I know, this plot is all over the place, but like I said, there is no conflict. Therefore the whole story just kind of...happens. This is a movie made by stoners (Adam Sandler's crazy group of friends) for stoners. It is definitely funny, and worth watching for the laughs, but it isn't exactly good. Plot holes in this movie are gigantic. The acting is questionable. The music is decent. The cinematography is variable depending on the scene. Altogether, this is a decent comedy, with good laughs and juvenile humor, and it is worth a watch.
thelaw84 I managed to get through half hour of this film before the cringe factor got too much. The lead is terribly miscast, he has no comic timing at all and just doesn't look like a 'computer games tester and stoner'. He looks clearly older than his characters 35 years too.I am all down for gross out humour but I expect it to be funny. There was just an eerie silence for half hour when I watched this film with some friends. Nobody 'got it' at all and you shouldn't have to even engage your brain to laugh when watching this sort of film.Harold and Kumar, Pineapple Express, How High are some of my favourite comedy movies outright. When it comes to stoner films I am not hard to please.This was just terrible. Sorry. I really hoped it would be good after reading some positive reviews on here but I was totally let down.
HagenSteele Where to begin....A few associates I know treat this film as if it is some kind of "cult classic", which I mistakenly assumed meant "good".WRONG.I figured as much given the premise, as follows: "A 35 year old video game tester has to move in with his grandma and her two old lady roommates." There isn't a lot of humor to be found in this premise.SADNESS? Yes.Comedy? Not so much.How bad could it be? Bad. REAL bad.Despite the cast doing the best they can with what they had (little to nothing), I find it exceedingly difficult to believe that anybody above the age of 12 could do anything but feel insulted by the ridiculous way the characters are portrayed, and the utter stupidity of the "plot".This is another "man-child" film that attempts to capitalize on the "slacker" trend Hollywood is so fond of, however, it is completely devoid of humor, as I found all the gags to be PATHETIC instead of funny.A grown man living with his parents and sleeping in a "race car" kids bed? Am I supposed to laugh at that? That's not funny. That is sad, pathetic, and the complete opposite of funny, which sums up the film nicely IMO.I stopped watching after about 30 minutes, and highly recommend NOT wasting your time on this one.
