Dirty Grandpa
Rated R
Directed by Dan Mazer

Dirty Grandpa throws together an old favorite and a young star in this raunchy comedy. Dick Kelly (Robert De Niro), a perverted retired Special Forces Lieutenant Colonel from the Army tricks his uptight lawyer grandson, Jason Kelly (Zac Efron) into a trip to Daytona Beach. Kelly wants to prove he could make his grandson be better than he was, as he was absent in most of his son’s childhood, causing an extreme disliking from his son. Along the trip, Dick sees an old friend from Vietnam, falls in love and helps his grandson find his true calling.

This is a raunchy, partially romantic, soul-searching, comedy filled to the brim with corny, bad jokes and great laughs. Pairing DeNiro with Efron is a smart move to bring in the young and the old crowd. It is appropriate to anyone with a good sense of humor and a mature mind.

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
