I think Dirty Grandpa probably looks bad, but I am predictably and stereotypically blinded by Zac Efron’s involvement in the film. American icon Robert De Niro plays Zac Efron’s gross and inappropriate grandfather who convinces Efron’s character to go to Florida with him, days after his wife’s funeral and days before his grandson’s wedding.
Classic odd couple set up here. Doesn’t look too groundbreaking, but it does have Aubrey Plaza delivering zingers and being so chill about a suggestive sunscreen accident and that seems very promising.
As an outrageously devoted Efron fan, I can’t help but worry that he’s developing a bit of a pattern with movies with extended party scenes – like Neighbors, and one can assume the upcoming Neighbors 2 and Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates will offer more of the same – but I’m happy to see him finding something of a niche in comedy. God bless him.
lOl! That was stupid funny.
