Dirty Grandpa

Dirty Grandpa definitely delivers on its name. I generally will see anything Robert De Niro is in, and having him play a foulmouthed, horny grandpa is just an added bonus. Its been a while since I've really seen anything Zac Efron has been in, the last being 17 Again since I somehow still haven't seen Neighbors. I love the dynamic between Efron and De Niro. Efron is an uptight lawyer who's life has been planned out for him by his father and is about to get married to an equally uptight Julianne Hough. De Niro needs a ride to get down to Boca Raton and cons his grandson (Efron) to give him a ride. However, Grandpa's intentions are quickly exposed where he just wants to get laid after not having sex in 15 years. He again cons his grandson to going to Daytona Beach where things go quickly south for Efron's character.
While not necessarily an award winning comedy, it is definitely funny and worth a watch if you enjoy raunchier comedies. There is LOTS of nudity, drugs, and drinking, including Efron being nearly completely naked. (He definitely works out) If you are easily offended, its probably not the movie for you. Everyone gave very believable performances and De Niro as always is awesome. I especially enjoyed Hough's character, since I've been a fan of hers since she was a pro on Dancing with the Stars. And Aubrey Plaza's character while similar to most of the character's I've seen her play was comedic gold.
If you want to laugh, Dirty Grandpa is the movie to see.
