Grandma's Boy
Even though he's 35, Alex acts more like he's 13, spending his days as the world's oldest video game tester and his evenings developing the next big Xbox game. But when he gets kicked out of his apartment, he's forced to move in with his grandmother.
Critics Sentiment
Lilly Grace and Bea accidentally get high on Alex's marijuana
JP steals Alex's Demonik game and claims it as his own
The film peaks during the grandmothers getting high sequence then crashes when JP steals the game, dropping 2.9 points from beloved absurdist comedy to frustrating plot machinations.
Reviews show Grandma's Boy starts moderately strong with juvenile but effective humor, peaks in its middle section when the elderly characters shine, then falters in the final act where plot takes precedence over comedy. Critics consistently praised the film's sweetness and absurdist moments while criticizing its rushed ending and more mean spirited jokes.
