Grandma's Boy
2006 Directed by Nicholaus Goossen
Synopsis
A movie that proves your never to old to come of age.
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 he gets kicked out of his apartment and is forced to move in with his grandmother.

Easily my favorite Happy Madison production. Grandma's Boy does a great job of combining the raunch of late 90s/early 2000s movies while still offering up a premise that didn't feel like it had been done to death. Highly rewatchable still, though nowadays I tend to have to take a bit longer of a break before putting this on again, whereas when it came out I could watch it every other day.

Talk about a surprise. Never in a million years did I think I would like this movie. Thumbs up all around, this movie is hilarious.

Dang funny movie with a good plot. Even though it is unrealistic that a hot chick would be playing videogames this was a really good movie. The characters are well written and from start to finish I was into this movie. The pacing is great, the humor is great as well. The acting is good. I love just about every joke in this movie. This movie is hilarious. Absolutely worth a watch.

When I saw this coming up next on Starz the other day, I was very pleased since I hadn't seen it in about a year and this IMO is fucking hilarious. Also I feel that his is either unknown by many or just not pursued. It only lasted 1 couple weeks in theaters when it was released, but this movie has to have made a shit ton of money in DVD sales. This is easily funnier than 80-90% of the last 10 years of Adam Sandler produced films, yet doesn't get the respect it deserves. Granted I realize it's not a Sandler film, but it has all of the aspects of a Sandler film.
When I first watched this back…

Dirty Dozen April-10th
Grandma's Boy- 18% on Rotten Tomatoes
How in the hell is this film only 18%? One of the funniest films of all time! Basically it is a comedy about a 35 year old video game tester who is evicted out of his apartment and forced to live with his grandmother. One of my all time faves!

If you're into stoner comedies with extremely random plots and scenes that make you laugh and go "wtf" at the same time, then do yourself a favour and watch this.

I remember this was the very last film I ever saw in Hollywood. I moved shortly after. I was in this massive theater and I was the only one there. Movie bombed and I never understood why. It's crazy funny.
Covert has been great as Adam Sandler's backup forever, but in his only leading role, he is just fantastic. Swardson is great as his best friend as well. His 'roommates' are really his Grandma and her friends, but man are they all funny. Hill and his milkmaid are great and Joel Moore is so pathetically awesome here.
It is also great on a level that it all has to do with making and playing video games.
This movie is just a lot of fun and MOST of you probably never even heard of it. Give it a shot!

Cool stoner comedy.
Bonus points for playing an Aphex Twin track during a scene!
