Gramps Goes to College

It is not a figure of speech or a euphemism when I say this was literally the stupidest thing I have ever seen in my entire life. The laughter was painful in the beginning. But by the middle, the embarrassment I felt for being a member of the same species as Grandpa Handsome-Bold-Intelligent-Computer Genius-Chess Grandmaster-Workaholic-4-God was far more painful. The tone-deafness in this train wreck was hard to believe. The hilarious not-so-subtle self-aggrandizement, surreal interactions and bloated misogynistic undertones that the producer doesn't even seem to realize it exhibits put this way out past daft.

How is it that other people actually cooperated in the making of this nightmarish skit? If they were this guy's friends, they would have put a stop to it and spared him the personal embarrassment and prevented him from making a film that is excellent at doing exactly the opposite of what it is intended to do: making fundamentalists look like out-of-touch, self-absorbed idiots who live in an archaic echo chamber.

If this was organized by anti-theists to serve as a secret tongue-in-cheek mockery of creationism and fundamentalism, then it was genius. Absolutely no one who ever lived will see this and feel sympathetic to the points it attempts to make; but there are plenty who might already be sympathetic and feel highly embarrassed after being exposed to this disaster. Nothing could make anyone on the fence about creationism run for the door faster than this thing.

If you have been kicked in the head by a horse, are a trump supporter, or have eaten copious amounts of lead paint over the years, then this is a must see film.

Only by being one of these people can you fully appreciate the harsh and leadfooted dialogue about Satan perverting the young or the grating expositional dialogue about subplots that never come to fruition.

This film is impossible to distinguish from parody. The fact that people think like gramps is horrifying and misery inducing. The fact that this film is allowed to be produced and seen by brain owning people is borderline criminal, and liberalism gone too far.

Not since Triumph of the Will has such blatant and obvious propaganda been produced, though Leni Riefenstahl had the wisdom to be deeply ashamed about her own involvement.

This movie showcases how scary and upsetting the world must be to insular, insipid (American) Christians. There is no cure for the intellectual disabilities denoted by the writing and production of this film.

I would urge anyone who finds this movie to have a semblance of a sensible or credible argument to actually go and take a biology course. But unfortunately, there is no cure for the level of ignorance brainwashing on this scale creates, and the crew of this film will live in blissful ignorance in perpetuity. Truly hell is real, this film unequivocally proves it.

As a film that attempts to do the opposite, it is ironic that this movie is the most foundational and convincing evidence that god does not exist.

This is the WORST Christian movie of all times. Every aspect of it is either manipulative, lying, or flat out cringy. The first warning sign is when the college biology professor tells her students to ditch their religious beliefs. In what universe would this happen? Oh, let me back up a bit. The reason why this old coot goes to college is that "we're at war," and he is going to be the champion to dispel the myth of evolution. Oh wait, there's more! Donald James Parker, wrote, directed and made himself the lead character, giving himself super- human geriatric powers. He is a grand master at chess, pro ball player, long distance runner that beats 20-year-olds, and yes, even a lady's man. But being such a prude, he won't succumb to a 'woman's charm'. Now ask yourself, why does a 60 something man need to have so many movies where he plays the lead with young girls? In seeing interviews with Donald, you can see a hypocritical dark side to this man. He supports a rapist bragging about rape, saying it's "just locker room talk." So, you can either avoid this movie, period, or have fun and watch it on you tube where a commentator will share the laughs and groans with you. And Donald, if you're reading, get this: We see your hypocrisy and twisted mind. Your movies reek of desperation to be liked.

It is hard to keep our Christian attitudes when all around the devil has easy access to every aspect of life. Staying firm and surrounding ourselves with other Christians is best while our examples help grow some doubting to become strong Christians. I recommend this movie!

College is a time of discovery for young people away from home for a first time. Wouldn't a person get confidence by seeing a movie that explores questions they have or will have duriing college.

Parents of students would also benefit by supporting this movie and talking with their child after viewing and answering questions that come up. Grandparents would delight in viewing this movie for personal reasons (LOL) and also their grandchildren may like the idea that family values are shared.

Gramps Goes to College is about a older man (later nicknamed Gramps) who decides to go to college so he can teach people about his faith. Its a preachy, stupid film that is more propaganda than actual film making. Gramps is a very unlikable character. He just goes back to school to preach and be a annoyance to the school system. However the main professor comes off a cartoon and tells the students that there is no God much like Kevin Sorbo in Gods Not Dead. Aside from spreading his faith Gramps starts a sports team but only wants Christians on his team. Again this shows how unlikable he is by actually discriminating against people of other faiths. In one instance he gets asked for an autograph for standing up to the professor and he actually turns the kids down. Gramps never learns or grows from his collage experience he just stays a unlikable man who goes and rants about religion and one of fluoride in the water. The film gets more insane as one of the college girls actually dies at a party and comes back to life and she claims she went to Hell. The whole film comes off like the crazed ramblings of a cranky old man. Then again this film was made by the same people who made one of the most bigoted films ever made The Right to Believe. Gramps Goes to College is just a very painful and annoying film only to be seen to poke fun at.
