The sex, fart, and pot jokes come so fast and furious that a white flag seems the most appropriate response.

| Aug 15, 2015

Hilarity fails to ensue in the workplace or at home, in spite of the late introduction of a fighting, driving monkey.

| Original Score: D+ | Sep 23, 2006

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.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 15, 2006

If you're a video game geek and/or a stoner, Grandma's Boy isn't a comedy -- it's a documentary. For everyone else, it's an interminably flat, one-joke movie with admittedly a couple of decent laughs.

| Jan 14, 2006

It's plenty stupid, often funny and occasionally pithy. That may add up to a movie you want to see, or it might add up to a movie that will make you ill.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jan 12, 2006

[The film] does a very thorough job of reducing every recognizable member of the cast to probable career lows.

| Original Score: D | Jan 11, 2006

The Sandler-patented mix of the deliberately offensive and the blatantly sentimental loses something in the maestro's absence.

| Jan 9, 2006

Grandma's Boy is an Adam Sandler comedy without Adam Sandler, which is kind of like getting a root canal without the dentist.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Jan 9, 2006

An Adam Sandler movie without Adam Sandler, it turns out, is not necessarily an improvement.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jan 9, 2006

Even silly fun needs serious talent behind it.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Jan 9, 2006

The kind of laid-back goofball comedy custom-designed to chase away any self-respecting respectable person and play to the good-natured slackers out there in the dark. If you're among the latter, you've found a home. If you're not, you have been warned.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Jan 9, 2006

No one here has the slightest idea what being elderly actually means or that old folks may once have been (and may still be) far hipper than the young men and women looking at them with fond incomprehension.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jan 9, 2006

The film's [directorial] crudity is ultimately an unbearable drag on its joviality.

| Original Score: C | Jan 9, 2006

Nicholaus Goossen, another Sandler protégé, makes an inauspicious directing debut with this limp collection of clichés larded with product plugs.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Jan 9, 2006

Goossen misuses recognizable names for dubious cameos and pushes eccentric side characters to uncomfortable parody.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jan 8, 2006

I did manage to be more tickled than annoyed at some of the movie's dumb, crude attempts at humor.

| Jan 7, 2006

Just as a few bong hits would probably make the movie a tiny bit funnier, they would also probably make all memories of the film blissfully vanish.

Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jan 6, 2006

The veteran actresses who co-star in this stoner comedy have an Oscar and multiple Emmys and Tonys among them, but it's unlikely they'll have to clear any more space on their mantels for Grandma's Boy.

Full Review | Jan 6, 2006

I may require therapy after seeing this.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Jan 6, 2006

Grandma's Boy is a brain-dead stoner comedy from Happy Madison Productions that was coproduced by Adam Sandler. Rarely has so little been done with so little.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Jan 6, 2006
