Absolutely Fantastic

One of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.

There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

I felt absolute disgust while watching this movie. There were so many moments where the staged skits were so outrageous, maybe even too much. Although there were plenty of funny moments I did get bored after a while. Thirty minutes of skits is enough for me. A movie is just too painful to watch. I got tired of seeing people being subjected to hearing and witnessing terrible things. You can do funny without being abusive or traumatizing people.Now I'm not a hater and I can appreciate that some people would enjoy this movie but it's not something I would recommend for the average person. I will say that Johnny Knoxville's old man makeup was flawless though and probably the best thing of the movie. After watching I left with a few laughs especially in the beauty pageant scene, but for the most part I felt sick.

Johnny Knoxville returns for some more crude pranks and gut-busting in this spiritual successor to the Jackass films. Unlike the popular televisions and the movies, this film is accompanied with a storyline about a relationship of an raucous elder man and his grandson. Suited up in prosthetics and heavy make up to give him the looks of an old man, Johnny Knoxville plays Irving Zisman, an 86-year old man who is in the hospital when he learns that his wife has just passed. However, instead of responding the situation with sorrow, he becomes excited now that he is a free man, and is free to party and do whatever he wants. His adventures into his free life become delayed during the funeral when he asked to take care of his eight-year old grandson Billy (played by Jackson Nicoli) and take him to his dad Chuck (played by Greg Harris) in North Carolina, while his mother is doing time in jail for drug usage. Initially against his will, Irving takes Billy on a road trip in which ends up turning into an adventure of hilarious shenanigans and stunts.Filmed in documentary style, much like the television series and movies, this hysterical spin-off presents viewers with a insanely crude, yet funny experience with the two main characters engaging in hilarious pranks and mischief that often results in appalled or amused reactions from extras on screen. Whether it is from young Jackson Nicoli cross dressing as a beauty pageant girl, or Johnny Knoxville going wild at a strip club full of people probably a third of his character's age; it is always funny. Though some of vulgar humor and profane language, some of which come out of the mouth of the eight year old, is enough to turn some viewers off, it often plays out to make viewers laugh their heads, and aims to be intentionally vulgar, although some people tend to see it that way. Those who are less entertained by the hilarious, but envelope-pushing pranks may find most amusement out of the shocked and disgusted reactions of the people on screen. Johnny Knoxville plays his character out pretty well and the same thing can be said for Jackson Nicoli. They present their characters with such amazing comedic chemistry.Bad Grandpa may go a bit overboard at times, but it is a faithful and stunningly hilarious spiritual successor to the Jackass films, and Jeff Tramaine does a great job directing this. This is definitely one of the funniest comedies I have seen in recent years.

I hate to admit it, but the movie had some really fun moments where I actually LOL. It was better than I expected from watching the trailer.The movie is built as an actual film with a story, which incorporates a candid camera in each scene. There are some dull moments, but usually the result is pretty funny.The makeup on Knoxville is absolutely fantastic and he's "lost" (in the good way) in the character - you think of him as an old guy, not as a guy in makeup. I have to give it to Knoxville, who is pretty convincing in his performance. The kid is also great. Both actors never break character and they are great in improvisation.Don't get me wrong - this is not a masterpiece, it's "Jackass"-silly, but if you want to have some harmless fun you'll enjoy (most of) it.

People find this funny?.Till half of the movie I could not make sure either it was a movie or a collection of Youtube pranks. Youtube pranks for funnier then this. People's faces are blurred. You didn't pay them?. I didn't find much it funny and really surprised how did it collect so much at box office. Really surprising. If we just collect best pranks in youtube and name it a movie,will be much better than this one. Don't waste you time. Rather watch pranks videos at Youtube.Not funny. The child acting is good but acting of the old man is not up to the standard. It looks like cheap low budget movie with lack of creativity. Overall, don't waste your time.
