Dad and Grandpa went together to chop down the Christmas tree every year. I call my dad's father Grandpa, but I call my mom's father Grandad. Create a special.

It's not uncommon for Hollywood's A-list stars like to be handed to highly questionable projects, films that leave you asking 'why?' Robert De Niro definitely gives off an unusual (and brutally raucous) vibe here in arguably his goofiest role of his career, partially since he is not known for raunchy R-rated comedies and has spent most of his careers spawning in roles of serious subject matter. Zac Efron on the other hand, is no stranger to the hardcore comedy territory, such as playing a college fraternity leader in 'Neighbors'. These two actors collaborate for the first time in this raucous comedy directed by Dan Mazer, a film that's not terrible but certainly what labels a low point in their career. Zac Efron plays Jason Kelly, a high-strung lawyer in his way to marrying his boss's uptight daughter Meredith (played by Julianne Hough). With his wedding only days ahead, Jasok is asked to drive his widowed, loathsome grandfather Dick (played by Robert De Niro) from his house to Boca Baton, Louisiana.

Along the way, they run into college friends Lenore (played by Aubrey Plaza), Bradley (played by Jeffrey Bowyer Chapman), and Shaudia (played by Zoey Deutch), and what was supposed to be an easy cross-state trip results in an odyssey of drugs, booze, and embarrassing mayhem while grandfather Dick go outs in search for a new love of his life. It's easy say Zac Efron and Robert De Niro do make quite an odd comedic duo at first glance. But the real question is do they make a successful duo here. To some extent, sort of. But it definitely isn't one that works as well as it should have. The two leads both have heir hilarious moments every once a while but a lot of time, they try way too hard and it's not always funny. Efrom and De Niro spend nearly the entire length spitting out raunchy dialogue ranging from sex jokes, genitalia jokes, masturbation jokes along with explicitly crude gags that often come off but forced though occasionally funny.

Of course based on the title, the level of vulgarity shouldn't come to too much of a shock, except maybe the fact that De Niro indulges so far into the level and seems to have fun dropping a large horde of penis jokes. Possibly the most questionable element here maybe De Niro's flirtatious interaction with Aubrey Plaza who plays a college girl probably only a third of his age. The aspect may be funny but tends to be conceived as rather than off-putting than sexy, especially considering the fact there is a brief sex scene between the two (no nudity involved). In the end, the hilarity isn't particularly strong but could been enough to semi- distract viewers from the blatantly rushed storyline, but only if you watching Zac Efron get high on cocaine or De Niro drinking booze with college girls in bikinis. Dirty Grandpa marks a rather low point for the careers for both Zac Efron and Robert De Niro but definitely isn't what I consider one of the worst movies of this year so far. After all, it does succeed at least bringing some laughs. However, the effort of the two leads do not always prevail.

For comedy fans, this film may be worth a try, but definitely won't please everyone, especially those who are looking for Robert De Niro in a more solid comedic form.

Description

What do you think of when you hear the word ‘granny’? Warm milk, cozy blanket, kind smile on a wrinkled face? Forget about that! This Grandpa won’t treat you with your favorite cake. Its a new Granny Horror! He won’t surround you with care and love and won’t give any advice you didn’t ask for. He won’t even criticize you for doing everything wrong. His only wish is to see you… dead. This man is out of her mind. He locked you upstairs and gave you five days to make your way out of here. And although it seems to take just one turn of the bedroom door handle and a couple of minutes walking down the stairs towards the front door, the rules of the game are much trickier.

First of all, the front door is safely barred and locked. If you step any close, the alarm will go off alerting Grandpa to your intentions. Before you can approach it, you need to find a whole set of items that will help you overcome all means of protection used by the evil old lady. For second, Grandpa won’t let you walk around his house unhindered. He’ll be listening to your every step. So move as quiet as you can. And don’t drop anything on the floor! If Grandpa hears you, he’ll find you in no time. Consider yourself lucky if you manage to hide under the bed or in the wardrobe! Grandpa also remembers where he heard or saw you and sets bear traps there, just in case. Don’t let him drive you into the corner or she’ll knock you out and you’ll have to start all over again! Remember, you only have five attempts. Escape the house before your time is up!
