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.

Pretty hilarious movie, but if you don't smoke a lot of weed you really might just roll your eyes. Its a movie made for people who are complete stoners. Lol.

Timeless Stoner comedy. People downvoting just don't like gamer or stoner humor and that's cool.

This is literally the worst movie I have ever seen. I was once a 14-year-old stoner, and even then I don't think I would have laughed once.

who in sam hill uses the word "inappropriate" in a comedy? the 15% critics should go soak their collective heads. i loved shirley jones when she was a baby and i loved linda cardellini when she was a baby too. funny flick about the times. you can watch this.
