Dirty Grandpa Movie Review - Too Much Dirt
A lawyer drives his grandfather to Florida after the demise of his grandmother. During this road trip, the grandfather teaches his grandson about how to live the life to its fullest and also motivates him to follow his dream.
Cast - Robert De Niro, Zac Efron, Aubrey Plaza, Zoey Deutch, Julianne Hough, Dermot Mulroney
Directed By - Dan Mazer
Genre - Adult Comedy
Jason Kelly (Zac Efron) is a lawyer who works for his father (Dermot Mulroney), and on the day of his grandmothers funeral, his grandfather (Robert De Niro) comes to him and decides to go on a road trip with Jason. With only one week left for his wedding, Jason though reluctant at first decides to go on the trip and finds out more about his grandfather's secret raunchy life.
This movie has a simple story, and there is nothing complicated present here. It is basically a road trip movie along with the duo of a grandfather and grandson. Its an adult comedy with lots of vulgar jokes thrown around and there are visuals of boobs, tits and penis in the movie. If you are a kind of person who gets easily offended, don't watch Dirty Grandpa as it becomes offensive sometimes and you would not be able to handle it if you get hurt easily. This film has good and bad in it, but let's talk about the good first. The chemistry between Zac and Robert is electrifying, and they manage to land some jokes here. Although I didn't find them hilarious, they do make you chuckle sometimes. The performance of Robert De Niro is terrific in this movie. He induces a lot of energy on screen and does look younger and way more energetic than an average person in his twenties. Zac Efron is a fantastic actor, and he does a comedic movie with a lot of ease and is fun to watch in whatever role he plays in any of his films. Robert and Zac made the film watchable and were terrific together on screen.
I think these are the only things that I liked as there are more things that I didn't like about this movie. There are some scenes in the film that are unnecessarily extended to a point where it becomes more like a desperate attempt to make the audience laugh. A scene involving Jason in jail gets far too stretched and becomes annoying and irritating after some time. Also, the movie has some very irritating side characters who get way too much screen time in the film. A character in the movie who sells drugs happens to pop out from anywhere and gets on your nerves after a time. Movies are made as an escapism from the real world but this film shows us some over-the-top scenarios that would never happen in real life, I don't buy it. This film basically sets up some events that gradually builds up to deliver laugh to the audience. But after a time, it all gets cliched and dull, and you just want it to be over. For a movie with a runtime of over 1 hour and 47 minutes, it does feel very long, almost like a 2 hour and 30 minutes film. At its heart, the movie wanted to give a message that you should follow your dreams, and you are never too old to do anything, but all this gets lost in this illogical pile of dirtiness.
I know that movies like these tend to get over-the-top and nonsensical because they want to cheer up the audience but you still can make a good film with adult content in it and what better example of it can be given than the 2014 film Neighbors. If you want a silly movie with absurd humour spread on it, then you may find Dirty Grandpa enjoyable but if you like your comedy to be smart and witty then stay away from it.
