If this was going for a 80's feel of action comedy, I don't think it pulled it off. For lack of a good story, the bulk of it is everybody taking turns watching Michael Jai White beat one of them up, or a group of them. The characterisations are probably meant for humor but off-putting to the say the least. There is no believable sincerity in the atmosphere or the motives of all involved, and the characters of Stan and Pam are awkwardly weird. Gran's self-awareness isn't infuriating for what this movie is, but it certainly is cringe by any standard. It's definitely one of those films that make you ask Why, and I can't imagine anyone finding it humorous.
Stumbling upon the 2024 action comedy "Sunset Superman", seeing that it was starring Michael Jai White, and it being a movie that I hadn't already seen, of course I had to check out what writer and director Jason Krawczyk had to offer.
The storyline in the movie was actually rather enjoyable, as it was a nice combination of action and comedy. Writer Jason Krawczyk put together a good script, and I have to say that I was genuinely entertained throughout the course of the 81 minutes that the movie ran for.
The acting performances in "Sunset Superman" were good. And Michael Jai White was nicely cast for the leading role and he carried the movie quite well. The only familiar faces on the screen were Michael Jai White and Billy Zane.
There is a good amount of action in the movie, and even some hilarious blood and gore. Yeah, that was quite a nice surprise, but a very welcomed one.
If you enjoy action comedies, then you should watch "Sunset Superman".
My rating of writer and director Jason Krawczyk's 2024 movie lands on a well-deserved six out of ten stars.

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.

Great and fun movie with a since of nostalgia. I would describe the movie as a lighthearted but mature home alone. MJW is fantastic, hilarious, and loveable, as always. Solid 9 for me personally, I enjoyed the entire film. Iv always felt White is such an amazing and definitely over looked talent in the film industry. With his extensive martial arts training and choreography skills sets him a step above alone but he's also great at any chacter personality. Very comedic with great timing , has the ability to play a convincing underdog or a dominating force. If your a fan of martial arts/action films he has an impressive and entertaining library that I would recommend.
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".

- TriviaOn the second day of filming, the original assistant director was heavily inebriated while driving the director, cinematographer, and script supervisor to the set. Realizing the danger they were in while speeding and swerving on a highway, the director gently "directed" the intoxicated driver to pull over. The AD stumbled out of the car and immediately fell asleep when hoisted into the passenger's seat-this left production without an AD until a replacement stepped in weeks later. Later, a note was delivered to the director from the original AD thanking him for taking care of him. The director then ripped the note apart, ate it, and stated, "That's something considering I wanted to beat the shit out of him."
