Dirty Grandpa

A great example of a comedy that will be appreciated more by men than by women. The thing is that Robert De Niro’s character can somehow be understood if you are a man, but if you are a woman and on top of that a hard-core feminist, any allusion to anything will to you seem quite racist and very personal. And that may be why there are several Boo! ratings here, which is something I don’t understand. I laughed from the heart a couple of times. Does that make me a bad person? (09/03/2017)

Dirty Grandpa lures with with its references to Robert De Niro's earlier comedies with , but in this case, unfortunately, it is not as good a piece of work. I don't mind foul language or a dash of toilet humour, but here it felt over the line and completely misused in places. I laughed a few times, I won’t deny that, but I rather thought that De Niro doesn't need such films and that we, the audience, could do without them. (17/01/2017)

I didn't give it 4 stars only because the pace was needlessly slowed down at the end with overblown romance that seemed completely out of place. Even though the humor was mostly crude, overusing the f-word, it worked just fine for me. It’s not supposed to be an intellectual film with some sort of a deeper meaning. It’s a feel-good comedy that lets you switch off and relax, and I sure did. (21/06/2016)
