Grandma's Boy Audience Reviews

Orla Zuniga It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review
Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.
Cody One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.
Janis One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
Ilikehorrormovies Yeah I enjoy like I'm not saying this is the best comedy ever made like they're good ones like Clerks (1995). I don't care what most critic say it's funny. Man I think this film has been misunderstood like really I don't think it's a bad movie. It's better than Grown Ups (2010) and Vacation (2015).Score: 9.5/10
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.
SnoopyStyle Alex (Allen Covert) is a middle-aged bachelor video game tester living with his roommate Josh. They're thrown out after Josh waste their rent money on hookers. Alex tries to live with his marijuana dealer Dante but Dante is getting a lion. His co-worker Jeff still lives with his parents and Alex has an unfortunate incident with his mom. Alex is forced to stay with his grandma (Doris Roberts) and her two friends Grace (Shirley Jones) and Bea (Shirley Knight). Samantha (Linda Cardellini) is the new executive brought in to launch the latest game.Allen Covert is not a funny performer. Even if you're inclined towards slacker weed humor, Allen doesn't have the charisma to be the lead. The humor is OK for what it is. It has some funny moments but the laughs are limited (unless you're baked).
FlashCallahan When his roommate spends the rent money on Filipino hookers, Alex, a 35 year old video game tester has to find a new place to live. After embarrassing himself in front of his best friend's mother, Alex is forced to move in with his grandmother. Trying to save face with his younger co-workers, Alex says that he is living with three hot women who keep him up all night....And there's a sub plot about him making a game, and the local geek taking the credit for it......Its a Happy Madison movie, so you know what to expect from the start, and you get what you expect, immature characters, stoners, driving monkeys, and random characters.And its hilarious, from beginning to end, and Covert proves that he can hold a film, as well as being endearing, and genuinely funny.Its not for all tastes, and there are people who would probably balk at the idea that someone likes this, but all the characters are great, there are some laugh out loud set pieces, and even though the writers have included the old movie clichés (hot new woman working at the same place, nerd stealing a great idea) they fit well into the film.Its throwaway stuff, but hilarious nevertheless.Treat your inner immature self...
