Dirty Grandpa (2016) 7/10

Starring : Robert De Niro, Zac Efron, Zoey Deutch, Aubrey Plaza, Jason Mantzoukas, Dermot Mulroney, Julianne Hough, Jeffrey Bowyer-Chapman
Director : Dan Mazer
Running Time : 102 mins

Jason Kelly (Efron) is an uptight lawyer who is looking forward to his upcoming wedding, but when his recently widowed grandpa Dick (De Niro) tricks him into driving him to Florida for Spring Break so he can have sex for the first time in fifteen years, he finds his life turned upside down, most drastically when he starts falling for Shadia (Deutch), a girl he knew in school.

This movie is so over the top and ridiculous that it manages to go from being really bad all the way into being entertaining. The plot has been done to death in previous movies, is pretty stupid, and extremely minimal to say the least, but De Niro and Efron manage to keep it fun throughout. The underlying romantic storyline between Efron and Deutch works well, even amongst all the swearing and sex jokes, and overall it’s an enjoyable easy watch.
