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.

Normally don't have patience for crude comedy but had to check it out as a Robert DeNiro fan. Definitely didn't disappoint (even with crudeness). Had plenty of laughs and plenty of insensitive crudeness to cover every area that would offend folks BUT it's advertised as this so only view if you can accept it for what it is! Maybe if viewers did a better job researching/listening to the advertisements they wouldn't be disappointed or expecting more than what's intended (sighing).

Great job of acting by all and even has a moral to the story for most!

Just saw Dirty Grandpa with a theater full of 60- and 70-somethings (myself included). Appropriately, it was a 10:50 a.m. showing. I can tell you that everyone - my wife and 86-yr-old father-in-law included - were howling at this thing. Sure it was over-the-top gross, but it was also very, very funny. The final scene between Aubrey Plaza and DeNiro had me laughing so hard I had tears running down my cheeks. I can't believe all of the god-awful reviews I'm reading for this movie. I have to admit that I love Aubrey Plaza, so watching her interact with DeNiro was a real treat (and consistently funny). Zac Efron was solid as the grandson ... and had to have been an incredibly good sport to put up with all he had to in his role. I say, if you're over 60 and not offended by raunchy humor, give this movie a chance. I thought it was great!

This is one of the best adult comedies I enjoyed. Come on, I thought DeNiro was so hilarious. I loved the scene where he punches Brandon Mychal Smith and makes him deliver silly dialogues. And thanks to Duke Dumont - Ocean Drive. His soundtrack is so nice- it makes me Hold on, Hold on, Hold on...

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.

It's a real low for De Niro and Efron and I can not in my wildest dreams understand why this movie got green light... I can laugh at funny sexual jokes, but this was at a level of 5 year old's. Complete waste of money and the actor's and my time... unless the actors actually found it funny, and in that case I must admit I am a bit surprised and disappointed. Besides the large amount of bad jokes, stupid, unfunny characters, an appalling backstory and completely flat non-engaging character developments, the writing is also completely worthless. There is nothing really wrong with the actors performances, maybe even better that one would expect considering the material they had to work with. Maybe they all had a good time making the movie and getting a few laughs at work, but the result was no laughing matter, I am sorry to say.

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!

The movie starts at the funeral for Robert DeNiro's wife. One of her grandchildren blows vape smoke on the dead woman, and then walks around describing how he runs a puppy mill and forces the dogs to have sex with each other. Really classy.

The next scene has Zac Efron visiting his grandpa, and finding Robert DeNiro jerking off, and wiping up his goo with tissues. Really gross, and not in any funny way.

That is the pace and style of this movie. Just the worst disgusting trash that you can think of. The usually trashy Aubrey Plaza wants to have sex with grandpa, and several other trashy characters give Zac Efron and Robert DeNiro the chance to be the biggest piece of trash that they can be. It is self-discovery at its worst, and most of it is not funny, just gross.

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.

"Dirty Grandpa" is the latest in the line of vulgarian comedies that tries to succeed off of a cheap formula. The formula is that it's so vulgar, tasteless, and irreverent that, eventually, by chance or by fate, it will get a laugh out of its audience. It may only be one, it may only be two, it may be only every ten minutes, or even more sporadic and inconsistent than that, but it will eventually get a laugh or two out of you. The problem is the entirety of those laughs often amount to about a minute or two of actual comedy, and in this case, enduring the remaining ninety-six minutes is quite an arduous task for such a feeble reward even a monk would pass up.

With that being said, I counted two hearty laughs in "Dirty Grandpa," and several sporadic chuckles from Jason Mantzoukas's rowdy and zealous performance as a local small-business owner/drug dealer in the film. That latter fact already sends up quite a few read flags, as this is a comedy where the emphasis rests on the age-gap and the talent of the two lead performers, Robert De Niro and Zac Efron respectively. While the two men exercise what seems to be a lack of boundaries and restrictions on what they'll allow themselves to be put through in this film, none of this particularly helps their credibility and further distracts both from the wealth of more interesting roles they could be taking.

The film revolves around Jason Kelly (Zac Efron), a lawyer who is looking to wed his longtime fiancée in a little over a week. After the death of his grandmother, Jason's grandfather Dick Kelly (Robert De Niro) asks if he could potentially drive him to see his old Army buddy and have some grandfather/grandson bonding. Despite the time-crunch, and knowing how distant his grandfather and father are, Jason takes him up on his offer and drives him in his fiancée's pink car, which Dick refers to as a mobile labia.

It only gets better. While eating at a diner, Jason runs into Shadia (Zoey Deutch), an old friend of his, who is eating lunch with her friend Lenore (Aubrey Plaza), an unapologetically crass woman who is looking to complete her sex trifecta of having sex with a freshman in college, an alum, and a professor. Dick, in turn, comes to her rescue by claiming to be a professor and promising to show her a wild time. The gang winds up enduring a ribald weekend involving drinks, sex, and drugs, most of the latter supplied by the aforementioned Mantzoukas's Pam character, who exercises maximum comic potential in every scene. The way he steals the attention away from the two leading performances is very similar to how Bobby Moynihan's prankster Alex character did in last month's "Sisters."

The problem is "Dirty Grandpa" is so reliant on the repeated use of four-letter words that it forgets that the characters, the context, and the conversational wit of the circumstance is the reason why most of us laugh. It's not the repetition as much as it is the characters that we like and admire getting repeatedly thrust into circumstances they do not want to be in. Director Dan Mazer and screenwriter John M. Philips cruelly miss this point, and instead deliver a comedy hellbent on giving us maximum antics and minimum laughter, as a result.

"Dirty Grandpa," while never boring and admittedly having the ability to squeeze us for one or two good laughs, doesn't understand the first thing about the functions of comedy, and feels like a gang of sugar-rushed, prepubescent children wrote the screenplay and compiled it with a list of words their parents explicitly told them they couldn't say. It's a waste of time for everyone involved, particularly Efron and Plaza, who have so much potential that's going to waste in this vacuum of ridiculous and desperately unfunny comedies. Both actors have already paid their dues forward with lackluster comedies, Efron with "That Awkward Moment" and Plaza with "The To-Do List," so their choice to do this film is questionable. As for De Niro, I think the idea that "he could do worse" or "he has given up" stops hear. There were a lot of jokes that landed with a "thud" in this film, but the loudest was De Niro metaphorically hitting the bottom of the barrel, especially coming off of the wonderful "Intern."

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.

Have you ever noticed that often when we are on the road driving to somewhere, suddenly there's 2-door convertible Porsche whizzed by on either side of your 10-year old clunky Corolla, you looked up and you always found the driver of that $100thousand++ sport car was a gray haired or baldy old gizzard. That scene always made you think: Why so many old farts driving these kind fast cars? After you looked in the mirror and did some deep soul search, you'd suddenly realize that time is the essence of forcing you to do something more extravaganza before it's too late. Everybody wants to go to heaven/paradise(*if there's one), but better late than sooner; and before the curtain calls you to kick the bucket, better drive a dream car before DMV requesting you to do a eyesight test.

De Niro, I think also got this before-its-too-late urgent syndrome. Like some of the other old Hollywood gizzards, Christopher Plummer, Bruce Willis, Helen Mirren, Diane Keaton, Michael Cann... he would respond and accept any cast thrown his way, cashing in his old fame is the only way to add up more zeros in his bank account.

But there's a negative drawback: most of these films he signed on were not serious enough movies but so-called "Comedy", the genre that has been messed up with "Farce"(or, Farmedy?). By doing so many clown-like characters in so many farces, now his facial expressions and his acting were limited only to his face: his mouth and his wrinkles acting formula, and nothing else. Almost in all of his recent years' movies, he just repeatedly used his ugly and uglier old facial expressions to waltz through all of these formulaic miserable farces, the only improved difference is that mole on his face. Making more money as he still could, to hell with the screenplay, the scenario, the plot...since farce does need or require his once great performing art, all he has to do is his squeezed facial expressions, dirty words in the dialog are the easier part. Want me to play a role in your farce? Money first, no refund, if the movie turned out to be a bummer. Once you decided to become a beggar, you just couldn't be a picky chooser. My God, look at his facial expressions in every movie, they were all the same.

This might be a great movie for some audiences, obviously there are enough people who like such things, considering that they keep making them and they become box-office hits. This movie relies on the typical American exclusive sensation, on its dirtiness and dark humour. I'm a person who is able to take a joke and understands dark humour, but this movie is purely dirty, banal and unfunny. Many of the actors are overacting in their characters' dirtiness. It is pretty much a messed up commercial sh*t like Ted 2, except that at least there is not a living teddy bear married to a slutty drug addict (thank God). It's lame how they mix up the banal sentimental moments with the tasteless humour and the totally disgusting dirty moments which are supposed to be entertaining. It's full of movies like this that have banal plots plus random dumb moments filled with massive drug use. Other than that, it's well-shot. At least this we could expect to be nice. It's not too bad if we take the fact I watched it at home and managed to watch until the end.

Michael "Beyond the Poseidon Adventure" Caine has never been averse to starring in more than his fair share of turkeys. Talking about "Jaws: The Revenge" he once said "I have never seen it, but by all accounts it is terrible. However, I have seen the house that it built, and it is terrific!" One can only assume that Robert De Niro has a similar attitude for getting involved in this dross.

For that is what it is. Directed by Dan Mazar ("I Give It A Year"), its a desperate attempt at a Spring Break-style ribald comedy that misses at virtually every level.

De Niro plays Dick (an appropriate name) who after a lifetime of marriage and on the day after his wife's funeral asks his grandson Jason (Zac Efron) to join him on a road-trip to Florida, with the singular aim of getting laid by a fresher a quarter his age. (You can already tell that this is all in the best possible taste). Jason - an accountant - is due to be married in the following week to the prissy and controlling Meredith (Julianne Hough), against Dick's wishes. Needless to say with this paper-thin plot, (and given that America is obviously such a small place) he runs into an old (and naturally sexy and gorgeous) school friend Shadia (Zoey Deutch). With Dick applying a 'certain set of skills' from his previous work (hasn't this plot been worked before in a De Niro comedy?) he wreaks maximum havoc in Daytona Beach in trying to lead Jason astray. Will he succumb and find true love rather than fall into a marriage of boring expectation.

What's there to like in this film? Well, there is some almost amusing sexual banter between de Niro and the nympho-like Lenore (Aubrey Plaza, and probably the best thing in the film). The great Danny Glover has a short cameo. The music used is well chosen(although the music editing seems extraordinarily inept). And if you are female (or male but gay) then the extended scenes of Efron's almost naked body might do something for you.

But on the flip side, there are few groups that this film won't manage to offend. About 75% of the script is the F-word. It portrays extensive and casual hard-drug use. The film is offensive to gay people. Offensive to deaf people. Offensive to cancer patients. Offensive to black people. And deeply offensive to lovers of cinema.

I have used enough words on this trash. Those UK readers who are old enough to remember the older style of film classification will remember that there was an 'A' rating. I would bring it back for this film, the 'A' standing for "Avoid". In fact, it was so offensive, the rating should be 'AA' for "Absolutely Avoid".

I have a monthly cinema card, so I got to see this film for 'free'. I was significantly overcharged.

"Most grandpa's just want toffee." Jason (Efron) is about to get married and start his new life as an impressive lawyer. At the funeral of his grandmother he reconnects with his grandpa Dick (De Niro). When he asks Jason to drive him down to Florida Jason thinks it will be a quick trip, then he shows up at his grandpa's house and everything changes. This is a movie I was extremely curious about. Sex comedies like this are usually funny and entertaining to watch, but this one had De Niro which seemed very odd to me. I have to admit, he was very very funny in this and brought something that most characters in movies like this don't. Believability in the serious aspects. The jokes are really nothing new, but De Niro delivering them make them that much funnier and I laughed a lot through out, hard. All of the actors had great timing in this, Efron and De Niro had good chemistry but Aubrey Plaza really shines and if not for De Niro would have stolen the movie. This is nothing all that original but it feels new and fresh with the addition of De Niro and is very much worth seeing for that reason. Overall, De Niro really shows his range; from Godfather 2 to Raging Bull to Goodfellas to this one...and he again shows why he is one of the greatest actors of all time. I give this a B.

I can't even begin to describe this. I mean, De Niro must be in heavy debt or something like that to agree to do this movie.

Nothing about this movie is funny, just nothing. Same old cliché jokes and situations that you can see coming from a mile away.

I don't know if they tried to do a teen comedy or a movie that sends some kind of message, which no one gets what it may be, but they don't get to do any of those.

They guy selling drugs ? I mean, again and again and again they try to make it so funny that the police will let him sell drugs..and the guy repeats that a hundred times ... I mean everything seems so forced, so unnatural. And the comment about people in Florida ? I live in Florida and I don't really understand where the hell do they get that idea that people don't count or that you can shoot people around or something like that.. The guy shoots up his own store and goes: "well, this is Florida" and I am thinking : yes???? so ??? ... what do you mean by that ?

And What's with the finger up the ass joke and that dick that shows up in the middle of the movie . I mean, I am no prude, but this is completely unnecessary ..it is not even funny . And how many times must they show Efron's ass? at least if there would have been some nice girls naked (this takes place in spring break after all, right? ) but no , not even that, we get to see Zac Efron's ass a hundred times and one unnecessary dick..

I think that sums it all up.. good night , just don't go to watch this movie , do yourself a favor and don't go..stay home staring at the ceiling if you must,,it will be time better spent

This is really the funniest movie I've ever seen. It literally gave me the chills from the beginning until the very end. And this is not just my opinion the whole cinema was laughing so hard sometimes I couldn't hear the lines so I had to read them. I think the scriptwriter did a fantastic job. The cast was also absolutely amazing. The mix with Zac Efron's talent and Robert De Niro's experience worked out great. They really had chemistry between them. I think everything about this movie worked grade from the title to to very credits. Future project that include Zac Efron will definitely be top material. It also seems that Robert De Niro did not lost his touch when it comes to comedy.

I went to see a movie to kill some time while waiting for my kids at the mall, and I was delighted at my good fortune that there was a Robert De Niro movie playing. However, this was one of the grossest, most unfunny movies I have ever seen. Had I not been just killing time, I would have walked out about ten minutes in, when De Niro is caught jerking off by his grandson while watching a porno. It only gets "better" as he then spends the remainder of the film belittling his grandson, playing grab ass with someone 50 years younger than him, and being one of the crudest, grossest, most unappealing characters I have ever had the misfortune of witnessing. Ick.

The first time I saw the trailer, I knew I had to go see this movie. I was right. It was really funny.

Vulgarity is one of the reasons that I wanted to see this film. Many people dislike this film because of its humor and bad language, but hey, this is a comedy. Don't expect to see some intelligent stuff in those kind of films.

This movie is amazing and it doesn't deserve all the hate it got from the critics. I had a really good time in the movie theatre and I think you could too if you like this kind of humor.

Have a nice day everyone.

I usually don't feel compelled writing a review, but when reading most reviews already posted I needed to add the following: People complained about the movie being raunchy and containing too much dirty jokes, what else did you expect.. it literally has the word "dirty" in the title. It is not some French romantic love story, nor is it pretending to be. It is a funny road trip story filled with a lot of "fucks" and childish (hilarious) jokes which if you like these kind of movies will definitely keep you entertained until the end. And, ultimately it even has a small underlying message to teach you.

If you are looking for something more serious, then please don't go and then complain after, maybe try checking out something else.

Just not worthy of calling itself a movie An extremely poor vehicle for mr de niro

Lots of people trashing this film. It's dumb as hell, entirely predictable, but incredibly funny. De Niro, is on fire, holding it all together with some of the funniest put downs I've heard in a long time. Zak Efron is the straight man, literally, and works well as a foil for De Niro's wit and timing. If , anything, I'm wondering if there was an even grosser version left in the edit room. Lots of gratuitous drug references that spin the old moral compass around, and a bit of an odd fit, so park your brain for a while and enjoy the ride, it's not a significant film, but it moves along nicely for a running time of almost 2 hrs. It's a credit to De Niro that he can take on this kind of role and make something of it.
