Dirty Grandpa

About This Movie

Dirty Grandpa is a raucous comedy that plays up the generational clash with a lot of crass humor. It’s kind of a wild ride, honestly. Robert De Niro as the grandpa steals scenes with his unapologetic, outrageous antics, bringing a unique flavor to the typical road trip flick. Zac Efron’s character, trying to maintain a semblance of control, contrasts nicely with De Niro’s chaos. The pacing is uneven at times, which some might see as a flaw, but it kind of mirrors the unpredictability of spring break. The film dives into themes of freedom versus responsibility, all wrapped in a messy road trip atmosphere. It’s definitely not for everyone, but it has its moments.

Released in theaters on January 22, 2016. · Runtime: 102 minutes, rated R for crude sexual content. · Filmed primarily in Florida, captures spring break vibe. · Features a mix of practical effects and typical comedy tropes.
