When he and his roommate can't pay their rent, video game creator Alex finds himself homeless and moves in with Lilly, his wacky grandmother. Lilly and her elderly pals like to hang out in front of the television all day, but their constant presence puts a damper on Alex's social life and pot smoking. Alex wants to court co-worker Samantha, but he's preoccupied by a rivalry with another game designer, so the would-be relationship is in limbo.

Critics Consensus

A gross-out comedy that's more gross than comedic, Grandma's Boy is lazy and unrewarding.

The sex, fart, and pot jokes come so fast and furious that a white flag seems the most appropriate response.

Hilarity fails to ensue in the workplace or at home, in spite of the late introduction of a fighting, driving monkey.

It's gross, it's cheesy, and it's baked beyond all reasonable limits, but this everything-and-the-kitchen-sink comic soufflé still manages to be goofily entertaining beyond all expectations.

Absolutely dreadful and offensive comedy.

So filled with untapped laughs, potentially interesting sub-plots and fails in every single aspect in a mostly laughless stoner comedy.

Even if you aren't under the influence, you might find yourself chuckling at various points during the movie, if only in disbelief at some of the things the cast is asked to do.

I was forced to watch this movie at my young age and I was very uncomfortable this movie is gross and nasty and gives an example of what a miserable life some people have. The jokes were gagging and the unsettling graphics and language. I hope this movie never goes out to anyone's mind to watch if you want to be traumatized for your whole entire life this movie is not realistic AT ALL

This was the perfect comedy for the time it came out and being a gamer myself just made this movie even more funny it just made for a funny interesting storyline and all the characters were right on point I wish they would make a part two of this they definitely left it to her they can continue the storyline

Simply a funny film that I can re-watch every few years and still laugh at. It came out back when Sandler backed films were actually hilarious

Bad. Just really, really bad. If you just want middle school grade humour, itll probably satisfy, but its really not a good movie. It's raunchy for rauchy's sake.
