Don't Believe the Hype

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

I get what they were trying to do. A stoner film with randomness, drugs, gross humour and tits rolled together like a tight joint. This "film" fails in every category.The 'plot':A 35 year old man (going on 50) is a video game tester. He gets evicted as his room mate spends all their money on hookers. Apparently the protagonist was not able to find a flat to rent so he moves into his friends house who has a clear learning disability. He then ejaculates on his mother while jacking it to a doll then moves in with his grandmother and her friends. He then meets a pretty prop who he wants to have sex with. Everyone derides and ridicules one loser (who is also a 'genius prodigy' responsible for the rest having jobs), but the other losers are celebrated and are apparently cool dudes who normal professional women adore? Villain is defeated when the protagonists grandmother beats him in a video game clearly made using Unreal Engine that he apparent coded on an Xbox (not a computer, only has one copy as an XBox disc?). A chimpanzee fights an elephant. The EndFeaturing:-Jonah Hill sucking on a tit -Sexual predator seduces slightly retarded man-child who is young enough to be her grandson (not creepy unless its the other way around apparently) -Women portrayed as and called whores throughout the film -Unnecessary randomness -45 year olds playing 30 year olds acting like 15 year olds. -Desperate virgins -Idiotic writing -Awful acting -Unlikeable protagonist -Ridiculous caricatures and stereotypes -Wasted talent -Fart jokes just becauseand much, much more. I'm not sure if the multiple 10 star reviews are bought and paid for. Part of me hopes that they are...Avoid this film, my wife is still mad at me for putting it on.

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.

Grandma's Boy (2006): Dir: Nicholaus Goossen / Cast: Allen Covert, Linda Cardellini, Peter Dante, Doris Roberts, Joel Moore: Disappointing comedy about the seemingly innocent as video game tester Allen Covert is forced to move in with his grandmother and her two elderly roommates. Simple plot dissolves into bathroom humour including footage of an elderly woman having sex with a young male. Directed by Nicholaus Goossen with characters who are all morons. The guy who dresses like a character from The Matrix is a complete idiot. Covert is unable to elevate this comic travesty above sewer level and for his first starring role, this is not very promising. Linda Cardellini as a new employee overseeing the deadline release of games is a complete fake. Never once does she convincingly sell the performance. She is more or less a romantic prop with no regards to a decent relationship. Peter Dante plays a friend of Covert's who exports exotic animals to protect his drug stash. In his own movie that might have worked to great comic appeal but here it is just a sideshow. Doris Roberts plays grandma who will eventually turn out to be hip and cool playing video games. Joel Moore plays the most idiotic antagonist dreamt up in a screenplay in a while. Technically well made comedy but with too much stupidity for an hour plus time period for anyone (including grandma) to have to sit through. Score: 3 / 10

I thought the movie was okay, I probably would have given it an 6 if it wasn't for that it's pretty sexist and degrading towards women. Don't know how many times they called the girls for whores ... It may sound pretentious but it might makesome who see the movie think it's okay to talk about women that way. Nowmost were virgins and did not socialize with so many women, which perhaps explains why they objectifies women all the time. There was even some gay joke I don't think was okay and it was maybe a little too pro drugs. Although the story was quite predictable, it was perhaps a little disappointing. For me it was definitely the old ladies who made ​​the movie good.
