    Funnier Than 5.9!

    Dirty Grandpa; what a watch it was, I really enjoyed this comedy I found myself laughing at more of it than I had expected but then again if Robert De Niro wants to be funny he will be hilarious, depending on the role. This film is full of hilarious WTF scenes and the way the story comes across its very entertaining and i wish I could watch it all again for the first time. Zac Efron & Robert DeNiro are two actos i didnt think I'd get the privilege of witnessing and they literally go so well together, when an actor is good you can really see it, the chemistry is amazing between these two, such a grey watch, much funnier than its review 5.9 is pathetic.

    Ignore the bad reviews, this is a chucklesome, hilarious, outstanding omega about a man and his grandpa he just wants to F#$! And I think its funny as you'd never see this from a grandpa in a movie I guess the title does make sense.

    Highly recommended, I found myself intrigued in the entire story and wanted it to be longer. Very entertaining worth the add to your list, I saw it a while ago but it deserves a review on here.

    Raunchy comedy at its finest

    So comedies are a sensitive subject to the general population and especially in this day and age, you have to watch what is said because EVERYONE is suddenly so sensitive. Well, to start this section off, I will genuinely say that if you do not appreciate vulgar R-Rated comedies, do not see this movie. On another note, I thought this movie was absolutely hilarious. Dirty Grandpa presents Robert De Niro in a way mostly never seen before. He rips out insults and jokes like he is a freshly turned 21-year-old in a 72- year-old body. Zac presents himself as a very uptight and by-the- book lawyer that has a free-spirited past that he has since lost due to the strictness of his father yet as soon as that uptight side is broken, this film is a wild ride as the two tear apart the beaches of Florida. This movie is purely a joke film, the story is forced in for the sake of film but it still works, kind of. Nonetheless, if you want to watch a very vulgar comedy and want to watch a 72-year- old like never seen before, this is the comedy to watch to start off your year. Raunchy inappropriateness at its finest.

    not that bad, actually, given the expectations

    This movie isn't actually that bad; it certainly doesn't deserve the endless line of 1-star reviews. I went to see it with very, very low expectations, after reading a negative review of it, and ended up enjoying quite a bit of it.

    Even from the trailer you can tell this is a silly, childish comedy with plenty of toilet and/or sexual humor. I don't know what people came to expect from it - this certainly doesn't attempt to be anything else besides that. Maybe many people aren't used to seeing De Niro in such a role, but hey, he's done other silly comedies already. Not all the jokes are that great, but it was good fun nevertheless.

    So, definitely childish, definitely silly, but also definitely funny in my book. I even ended up feeling for De Niro's character - hey, it's his last stand after all. So, if you don't expect much and aren't easily offended by jokes that sometimes are a bit too silly / gross /etc, you might even enjoy this!

    Know what you're getting into and you can have fun with Dirty Grandpa.

    Once the credits started rolling for Dirty Grandpa, the only thing I could say was, "Oh my god." It was shocking. From beginning to end the movie is shock humor, gross-out humor, crass, offensive, childish and stupid. But you know what? I laughed a lot. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't entertained throughout most of this movie. Sure, it follows a lot of road trip movie tropes and the perfunctory fight/make-up conflict near the end, but one thing about Dirty Grandpa is that it's consistent. Dirty joke after dirty joke; some of them hit, some of them miss, but they don't stop. Some of these things I never thought I'd hear come out of Robert De Niro's mouth, but the fact that it's him saying it makes it all the more funny. People will say this is a slap in the face to his legacy, but it really isn't. The Family was. Little Fockers was. This movie knows what it is - a lewd, politically incorrect road trip comedy, and it succeeds in that regard.

    What surprised me most about Dirty Grandpa is the chemistry between Zac Efron and Robert De Niro. They have a great comedic rapport that actually feels authentic, which helps the more insane scenes retain some semblance of realism (as thin as it may be). The rest of the cast is enjoyable too, especially Aubrey Plaza as the overtly slutty college girl who continuously surprised me with every grotesque statement uttered from her mouth. Oddly enough, De Niro feels right at home here. It's as if his character from Meet the Parents went off the deep end and decided to go on a spring break road trip with Zac Efron. Seriously, his character is ex-special forces and everything. Efron also proves once again that he's a comedic force to be reckoned with playing the straight corporate man put in awkward social situations.

    I don't know what people were expecting from Dirty Grandpa. Look at the title, look at the trailers. Are you really surprised? It was marketed as a gross-out comedy from day one, and guess what? It's gross. It's vile; it's degrading; it's shockingly inappropriate. Is it a good movie? Not a chance in hell. But the goal of a comedy is to make the viewer laugh, and Dirty Grandpa made me laugh. Hard.

    Now, if you don't like offensive humor, you should stay the hell away from this. Just know what you're getting into before seeing Dirty Grandpa and you can definitely have some fun watching it.

    Actually funny

    Dirty Grandpa is a comedy film directed by Dan Mazer and written by John Philips. The film stars Robert De Niro, Zac Efron, Zoey Deutch and Aubrey Plaza. After Jason's grandmother dies and just before his marriage, his grandfather asks him to go on a road trip to Daytona Beach, Fla., and there's where Jason learns a couple of lessons from his "dirty grandpa". I found this movie really funny most of the time and I couldn't stop laughing at a lot of the jokes. I suppose that a lot of these negative reviews for this movie are from people who think that this movie is against their "morals". But it doesn't really matter, cause Dirty Grandpa has been a box office success and a lot of people liked it, including me. Zac Efron is really funny, he has shown that he's got comedic guts over and over again. I am becoming a fan of as I keep on seeing him in these kind of movies . Robert De Niro is also awesome on the role all throughout. I also really liked the supporting characters, especially Jason Mantzoukas as a drug dealer who had me laughing every time he was on screen. Sure this movie isn't nowhere near a comedic masterpiece and nor is it trying to be. It is a fun ride from beginning to end, and despite all the clichés, the jokes are what make this ride worth it.
