Grandma's Boy

To be honest, this type of movie is not intended to be reviewed or critiqued. Look back over the years: Billy Madison, Happy Gilmore, Black Sheep, etc. None of them got good reviews (and probably rightfully so) because they follow a different standard of plot than most movies: Make the viewer laugh. That's it. None got good reviews, yet all have massive amounts of fans and cult followings. That is the kind of standard that Grandma's Boy fits into. It's not required to have a strong, or even decent plot; it's not required to have character developement; and sometimes it's not even required to make real scense. The only true requirement is that it makes you laugh, and for me it did that enough to make watching it an enjoyable experience. So, mission accomplished makers of Grandma's Boy. I can't deny the fact that a lot of the movie is just plain stupid, but what ever it takes to make you laugh I guess. The film makes generous references to pot, so I would have to assume that the movie is mostly intended to make those watching while high laugh their asses off. The film gets the most credit for having Doris Roberts play Grandma. Watching the three old ladies acting high was probably the highlight of the movie.
