Grandma's Boy (2006)

Short and Simple Review by WubsTheFadgerThe plot is really stupid. Even for a comedy film, the story is not very funny and doesn't deserve to be a full length feature film.The acting is okay. Allen Covert, Peter Dante, Joey David Moore, Shirley Jones, Shirley Knight, Kevin Nealon, and Doris Roberts all do an okay job. Linda Cardellini does the best job only because she is smoking hot.Some of the jokes are funny but most of them are overly raunchy and overly sexualized. There is also an excessive amount of drug usage that is not funny. The nudity in the film also is not funny.Pros: Some okay acting, some funny jokes and Linda Cardellini and her sweet face and smoking bodyCons: Weak story, average acting, a lot of unfunny jokes, oversexualized humor, an abundance of unneeded drug use, and needless nudity.

Then I re-watched it and realized it isn't quite what I was expecting. This movie has Linda Cardellini AND funny enough, that is about it. Yes, I gave this an 8 mostly because of Velma and half of that pretty much goes to her sexy, drunk dance. If you like Velma as much as I do, this show is awesome! Otherwise, this is probably a good show to pass on because there really isn't much else to it. I can watch this every 2 - 3 years just for the eye candy.

Yeah I enjoy like I'm not saying this is the best comedy ever made like they're good ones like Clerks (1995). I don't care what most critic say it's funny. Man I think this film has been misunderstood like really I don't think it's a bad movie. It's better than Grown Ups (2010) and Vacation (2015).Score: 9.5/10

Grandma's Boy (2006): Dir: Nicholaus Goossen / Cast: Allen Covert, Linda Cardellini, Peter Dante, Doris Roberts, Joel Moore: Disappointing comedy about the seemingly innocent as video game tester Allen Covert is forced to move in with his grandmother and her two elderly roommates. Simple plot dissolves into bathroom humour including footage of an elderly woman having sex with a young male. Directed by Nicholaus Goossen with characters who are all morons. The guy who dresses like a character from The Matrix is a complete idiot. Covert is unable to elevate this comic travesty above sewer level and for his first starring role, this is not very promising. Linda Cardellini as a new employee overseeing the deadline release of games is a complete fake. Never once does she convincingly sell the performance. She is more or less a romantic prop with no regards to a decent relationship. Peter Dante plays a friend of Covert's who exports exotic animals to protect his drug stash. In his own movie that might have worked to great comic appeal but here it is just a sideshow. Doris Roberts plays grandma who will eventually turn out to be hip and cool playing video games. Joel Moore plays the most idiotic antagonist dreamt up in a screenplay in a while. Technically well made comedy but with too much stupidity for an hour plus time period for anyone (including grandma) to have to sit through. Score: 3 / 10
