Grandma's Boy (2006) 6/10

Starring : Allen Covert, Linda Cardellini, Doris Roberts, Nick Swarsdon, Joel David Moore
Director : Nicholaus Goossen
Running Time : 95 mins

Permanently stoned game tester Alex (Covert) gets kicked out of his apartment and ends up living with his grandma Lilly (Roberts) and her two elderly friends. The trio of old ladies soon start to interfere with his ability to work on his games, which could mean the end of his career if he doesn't figure out a way to keep them out of the way, but what could be worse is the arrival of games designer JP (Moore) who has his eyes set on destroying Alex for stealing Samantha (Cardellini) away from him.

This movie was okay, but it really felt like an extra movie that Adam Sandler didn't have time to make and handed over to his friend Allen Covert to film instead. There are some funny moments, but the story is a little disjointed for the first half until the plot finally develops, but by then all the seemingly pointless moments at the start of the movie begin to make sense.
