Sunset Superman

Let's be honest, this is a silly low budget action that never takes itself seriously. And while a plethora of these films exist, this one stands far above the others in its execution and result.

It's absolutely hilarious. About half the comedy is slapstick, the rest a bit self degrading, a bit outrageous, it all just works. It's beyond farcical for most of the runtime, but keeps you watching anyways. Yes, you'll groan a lot, but you'll find yourself keep watching anyways.

The acting is excellent for a film of this nature. Jai White shines brighter than usual due to him having to not take himself seriously as he does in previous pure action roles. You'll recognize the rest of the cast from something you've seen before, notably Billy Zane as an humorous antagonist.

It's short, entertaining, and to the point. I wish we saw a lot more movies of this type - they're far more entertaining than a lot of the stuff coming out today, especially from streaming services.

Listen I love ridiculous concepts and this is one of those movies! The film left me laughing the entire way through! It's the first tubi original I did not hate! I loved this movie and I spent an entire month watching nothing but comedies when I came across this one. I didn't expect to like it much but I chose the film because I'm a fan of Evan Stern (Letterkenny) he's the one that plays the character who always says "ssstewarrrrrrt" incase you don't recognize the name! Anyways yeah I recommend the film especially if you love comedies that are just made for sheer fun and not going out of its way to be something "special".

This movie was put on Tubi because it probably didn't have a top budget. However, unlike most Tubi movies, the main character acted in true gangster style. The other characters were all over the place. I didn't hate the movie and was so I gave it a 9/10. I would have likely goven it a solid 10 if a little more was put into the storyline.

One thing about Tubi is if you get established actors you might get a wonderful movie. Again, this one was very good! To be honest, I could see a part two to this movie. It would love to see more back story. There was some real moments of acting & I appreciate that.

I watched "Don't Mess With Grandma" because I have enjoyed some of Michael Jai White's other films, in particular, the cult favorite "Black Dynamite". And, while White once again beats the snot out of some jerks, this time he's older, less confident and not quite the invincible superhero.

Jasper (White) goes to his grandma's house and it soon is clear her hearing isn't very good and she's a tad oblivious. During this time at her house, some burglars arrive and try to break in...and Jasper pummels them. So, they bring more friends, and Jasper pummels them...and his grandma's pitbull kills one of them. So, they bring in more friends. Why? And, what's next? See the film.

This is not a great film but made me laugh quite a few times. I also appreciate how White is now well into his 50s...and while tough, he's NOT the man of steel. A clever comedy...though also one with an obviously low budget and modest pretensions. Worth seeing it you like White's work...otherwise, you might be able to skip this one.

I didn't have any high expectations from "Don't Mess With Grandma," but I have to admit that in the end, I was entertained...and that's pretty much all I ask of a movie.

Michael Jai White plays a former Special Forces soldier who is visiting his grandma. She is hard of hearing as well as hard of seeing, which allows the unlikely plot of him being able to spend all night hiding the fact that droves of robbers are trying to steal her blind...so to speak. Said robbers are led by a barely recognizable Billy Zane, hidden behind a really absurd mustache.

The situations truly are ridiculous, but the cast doesn't take it seriously and is able to walk that "fine line between stupid and clever." White does a nice job with the humor, although the soliloquies are a little long. But if you can suspend disbelief long enough and just take the movie on its own attempt at mindless entertainment, you can probably enjoy it. It is what it is. Nothing special, but good for a few chuckles.
