      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

      A gross-out comedy that's more gross than comedic, Grandma's Boy is lazy and unrewarding.

      Joshua Katzman Chicago Reader The sex, fart, and pot jokes come so fast and furious that a white flag seems the most appropriate response. Aug 15, 2015 Full Review Nathan Rabin AV Club Hilarity fails to ensue in the workplace or at home, in spite of the late introduction of a fighting, driving monkey. Rated: D+ Sep 23, 2006 Full Review Marc Savlov Austin Chronicle 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. Rated: 2/5 Jan 15, 2006 Full Review Heather Boerner Common Sense Media Absolutely dreadful and offensive comedy. Rated: 1/5 Dec 18, 2010 Full Review Felix Vasquez Jr. Cinema Crazed So filled with untapped laughs, potentially interesting sub-plots and fails in every single aspect in a mostly laughless stoner comedy. Apr 29, 2009 Full Review Ethan Alter Film Journal International 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.

      Bryan B One of the funniest stoner comedies ever written. Screw Rotten Tomatoes and the uncultured individuals who don't recognize greatness when they it. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/25/24 Full Review Daniel H If you do not like Grandma's boy there is something wrong. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/01/24 Full Review Guy M One of the best Happy Madison films and not only surprised the company in their success in DVD sales but fans were in love thanks to rental stores at the time. The movie has great irreverent comedy and being a 36yr old stoner myself, I love it. Normally a side character or B actor Allen Covert is great as the lead and really carries the load. Pack a bowl for this and thensome Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/24 Full Review Poetic D One of my favorite movies. Best happy madison movie ever made. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/20/24 Full Review Audience Member I laugh super hard at this movie in any state of mind. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/25/24 Full Review Chadd J I love a random comedy movie. This movie had no plot or direction, just a bunch of random comedy and I enjoyed it. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/12/24 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
