Plot synopsis:
Jason Kelly (Zac Efron) is at a funeral for his grandmother. He runs into his obnoxious cousin Nick (Adam Pally), who is high on drugs. Jason's grandfather Dick (Robert De Niro) requests that Jason drive him to Florida as a personal favor. Both Jason and his father David (Dermot Mulroney) don't like the idea, but Jason reluctantly agrees to help out his grieving grandpa.Jason's fiancee Meredith (Julianne Hough) is obsessively planning over their wedding and is annoyed that Jason has to leave before their upcoming rehearsal dinner. She makes him take her ugly pink car to drive Dick to Florida. Jason goes to pick Dick up from his house, only to find the man masturbating to porn in his living room. Jason is horrified.The two hit the road and stop at a diner. Jason talks about his job as a lawyer, which he makes sound boring. Dick leaves for a moment, and from a few tables down, a girl named Shadia (Zoey Deutch) spots Jason and recognizes him from a class they had. She approaches him to talk, but Jason is distracted and thinks she's a waitress there to collect the check. She takes his money and runs away with her friends Lenore (Aubrey Plaza) and Bradley (Jeffrey Bowyer-Chapman), but Jason catches her before they drive away. He recognizes Shadia instantly. Dick comes out and pretends to be a college professor, which attracts Lenore, as she really wants to have sex with a professor. Dick and Lenore agree to meet up in Daytona Beach, but Jason and Shadia are against it.Jason takes Dick golfing. Dick spots two women and tries to make his move on them while pretending Jason is his disabled caddy. When Dick isn't looking, Jason tells the women how Dick isn't taking his wife's death well, prompting them to leave. Dick is upset and tells Jason that he wants to take this trip so he can have as much wild and unprotected sex as he can. Annoyed, Jason still agrees to go along with the trip.On the road to Daytona, the two encounter a psychotic drug dealer/store owner named Tan Pam (Jason Mantzoukas). Meredith calls Jason with more wedding stuff and getting frustrated that Jason isn't there to help. Once the guys hit the beach, they run into Lenore, Shadia, and Bradley, along with their two doofus friends Cody (Jake Picking) and Brah (Michael Hudson). The two of them enter a flexing competition. Jason and Dick go up to compete as well, nearly winning until Jason is worried that his antics will go viral and cost him his job. Cody and Brah win by default. Dick takes a t-shirt gun and stuffs it with a water bottle, shooting Cody in the face and breaking his nose.Jason and Dick later go to a party where Lenore and Shadia are. Jason inadvertently ends up smoking crack and doing a naked dance to "Macarena". Outside, Bradley is being harassed by some thugs. Dick beats the crap out of four of them before taking on the leader, Tyrone (Brandon Mychal Smith). Dick makes him apologize to Bradley.Jason wakes up nude and sunburned on the beach with a toy strapped to his crotch, and a swastika of penises drawn on his head. Meredith calls again to bother him as a child approaches Jason to touch the toy. From a distance, the boy's father thinks Jason is molesting his son and he pushes him off as the cops show up. Dick goes to bail Jason out.Jason and Dick visit Dick's old friend Stinky (Danny Glover), who lives in a retirement home. He only has a month to live and just wants to spend it there playing bingo. This makes Jason understand Dick's desire to enjoy whatever time he has left in life.Throughout the rest of their trip, Jason gets closer to Shadia, pretending to be a photographer to get closer to her. This also makes him rethink his relationship with Meredith. Dick says she isn't right for Jason and that he'll be sleepwalking through the rest of his life if he marries her. Meanwhile, Dick ends up hanging out with Lenore, plus Tyrone and his gang after they become friendly. While the group is at a karaoke bar, Cody sneaks by them and stuffs a large bag of weed in Jason's coat and looks at Dick's drivers license. After Dick goes up, Jason and Shadia sing a song together.Later, Cody reveals to Lenore and Shadia that Dick is not a professor, but a former Special Forces operative, a fact that no one in the family knew about. Cody also tells them about Jason's engagement, forcing him to tell the truth to Shadia, who is pissed at him. The cops then show up to arrest Jason for the weed.Dick bails Jason out again and admits that he took the trip not mainly for himself, but for Jason to cut loose and not be so uptight like his dad since Dick was never really there for David. Angry, Jason returns to Atlanta to proceed with the wedding.Jason goes to the rehearsal brunch with Meredith, where they sing the same song that he sang with Shadia. During the slideshow, Dick hacks the slides and puts pictures from the trip, which include Jason naked, making out with an old woman, and getting humped by a dog, along with a picture of Shadia. Jason finally tells Meredith he can't marry her, to which she responds that she slept with Nick while he was away. Jason happily leaves the brunch and runs into Dick outside, who tells him that Shadia is on a bus headed for a cruise. David follows the two and threatens to take Jason's job away from him if he bails on the engagement. David then gets tased by Pam, who joined the guys for some reason.The guys drive their truck to find the bus with Shadia. The bus driver won't pull over because the cops are following them, and he thinks that Pam narced on him on drugs that Pam sold to him. Dick then speeds up and drives toward the bus until they are both forced to stop. Jason runs out and apologizes to Shadia for lying. He decides to join her on her trip since he's now single, jobless, and possibly wanted by the cops. He goes up to her and they kiss.Dick returns home with David and apologizes to him for not being a better father. When Dick goes back to his place, he finds Lenore in there wearing his pants. She still wants to have sex with him despite him not being a professor. The two of them proceed to have sex with Dick using every old person cliche to keep Lenore excited.A little bit after the credits start, we see Jason standing next to Shadia with a baby in his hands at a baptism. The baby is Dick's new son with Lenore, and Jason and Shadia are the boy's godparents. Dick then takes the baby's thumb and uses it to poke Jason's butt.

Review: Sure, it follows a lot of road trip movie tropes and the perfunctory fight/make-up conflict near the end, but one thing about Dirty Grandpa is that it's consistent.
Some of these things I never thought I'd hear come out of Robert De Niro's mouth, but the fact that it's him saying it makes it all the more funny.
This movie knows what it is - a lewd, politically incorrect road trip comedy, and it succeeds in that regard.What surprised me most about Dirty Grandpa is the chemistry between Zac Efron and Robert De Niro.
Efron also proves once again that he's a comedic force to be reckoned with playing the straight corporate man put in awkward social situations.I don't know what people were expecting from Dirty Grandpa.
The film stars Robert De Niro, Zac Efron, Zoey Deutch and Aubrey Plaza.
I found this movie really funny most of the time and I couldn't stop laughing at a lot of the jokes.
I usually don't feel compelled writing a review, but when reading most reviews already posted I needed to add the following: People complained about the movie being raunchy and containing too much dirty jokes, what else did you expect..
It is a funny road trip story filled with a lot of "fucks" and childish (hilarious) jokes which if you like these kind of movies will definitely keep you entertained until the end.
I went to see it with very, very low expectations, after reading a negative review of it, and ended up enjoying quite a bit of it.Even from the trailer you can tell this is a silly, childish comedy with plenty of toilet and/or sexual humor.
Sure it has a crude sense of humor in it, but nowadays that is pretty common.Sure it is not Deniro's type of movie that he normally does, but I think he did a great job in playing his part.
I mean, it is not a movie that you want to watch with your kids, but I highly recommend this one if you are not easily offended and have a sense of humor like I do!
Directed by Dan Mazar ("I Give It A Year"), its a desperate attempt at a Spring Break-style ribald comedy that misses at virtually every level.De Niro plays Dick (an appropriate name) who after a lifetime of marriage and on the day after his wife's funeral asks his grandson Jason (Zac Efron) to join him on a road-trip to Florida, with the singular aim of getting laid by a fresher a quarter his age.
Well, there is some almost amusing sexual banter between de Niro and the nympho-like Lenore (Aubrey Plaza, and probably the best thing in the film).
Dirty  Grandpa is the worst film so far of 2016 that I have seen and will  likely end up in the bottom few films on my list for the entire year.
The film stars De Niro and Zac Efron who play the grandpa and grandson  respectively.
To younger viewers this movie might be exactly what they are looking for to get a good laugh.But to the more conservative viewers this movie might be too obscene due to the curse words and lewd remarks De Niro makes throughout the movie .On the other hand I found this movie entertaining,I like that De Niro took a step away from his normal roles and played something more risky.
Dirty Grandpa (Dick Kelly) played by Robert De Niro is the 'also story' in this limp wet attempt at comedy.
In the end, the hilarity isn't particularly strong but could been enough to semi- distract viewers from the blatantly rushed storyline, but only if you watching Zac Efron get high on cocaine or De Niro drinking booze with college girls in bikinis.
Dirty Grandpa marks a rather low point for the careers for both Zac Efron and Robert De Niro but definitely isn't what I consider one of the worst movies of this year so far.
For comedy fans, this film may be worth a try, but definitely won't please everyone, especially those who are looking for Robert De Niro in a more solid comedic form..
Having second thoughts after getting engaged to a controlling fiancée, a grandpa who just lost his wife, taking a road trip, meeting an old acquaintance, a shady drug dealer, having a drug and alcohol filled night with shameful acts, two (supposedly) funny cops, unnecessary expletives and bad puns, the list just goes on.The performances were not stellar either.
It's a shame really, that an actor like Robert De Niro is choosing such movies..
The chemistry between Zac Efron and Robert De Niro makes it worth a watch alone.
Sometimes when movie dialogue makes you squirm you know you're really feeling the full escape most people are hoping to slip into as a break from the oft too serious real world, and you feel the full on blast of a ridiculous raunchy comedy.
Zac Efron as Jason Kelly the vanilla, straight laced type, about to jump into a life everyone else has dictated for him as he settles in like an old man who does the same boring thing each day, eats dinner at 4pm and is in bed by 8pm yet is probably still in the prime of his 20s.
The problem is the entirety of those laughs often amount to about a minute or two of actual comedy, and in this case, enduring the remaining ninety-six minutes is quite an arduous task for such a feeble reward even a monk would pass up.With that being said, I counted two hearty laughs in "Dirty Grandpa," and several sporadic chuckles from Jason Mantzoukas's rowdy and zealous performance as a local small-business owner/drug dealer in the film.
That latter fact already sends up quite a few read flags, as this is a comedy where the emphasis rests on the age-gap and the talent of the two lead performers, Robert De Niro and Zac Efron respectively.
Philips cruelly miss this point, and instead deliver a comedy hellbent on giving us maximum antics and minimum laughter, as a result."Dirty Grandpa," while never boring and admittedly having the ability to squeeze us for one or two good laughs, doesn't understand the first thing about the functions of comedy, and feels like a gang of sugar-rushed, prepubescent children wrote the screenplay and compiled it with a list of words their parents explicitly told them they couldn't say.
I don't know why this movie got so many bad reviews, people must have lost their sense of humor or are just plain prudes!!!
This might be a great movie for some audiences, obviously there are enough people who like such things, considering that they keep making them and they become box-office hits.
The worst part of this film is seeing the great Robert De Niro, who is one of the all-time greats, in such a terrible film.The script is so bad that it's worth wondering what the screenwriter was going for.
It's the flat supporting characters that make the film so dumb, and even condescending because they clearly show that the writers think the audience can't figure out a simple joke.On top of the sheer stupidity, and the racism Dirty Grandpa isn't very funny, maybe except a 13 year old boy who is laughing more because he feels like he shouldn't be watching the film than at the humor of the jokes.
De Niro and Efron have little comedic chemistry, and they are the only characters to offer any genuine humor, the supporting characters just bumble around like idiots as the plot less film trucks along.
From a story standpoint the film is bad in just about every aspect, except that it's not too hard to follow.When you consider De Niro's comedic talent, showcased in Meet the Parents and Analyze This, and Efron's talent it's a showcase of wasted talent.
It was just bizarrely stupid.The Movie's attempt at gross humor or crude humor failed at every level.The delivery of the jokes were totally disorganized , the timing and context of them were way off, and it was very forced and just all over the place, like a 12 year old boy going through puberty would write.I cannot believe that De Niro would stake his incredible Rep on a movie like this.A complete train wreck.
That it had immature sexual humor & language and that DeNiro wasted his time playing a dirty grandpa.
It does have immature sexual humor & DeNiro did waste his time, but that I expected going in and makes the upper limit on the film a 7 probably.
I mean honestly, if the difference in the title of the film is one synonymous word and they were released less than three years apart, it has to be a blatant rip- off.The humor of this "comedy" revolves solely around making crude jokes.
It's like the humor of this film is directed toward 17 year old movie goers going out for their first R rated movie.
The main motivation of De Niro's character and the main plot point of this movie is that his wife died of cancer, and in order to feel young again, he tries to have sex with the first young woman he can.
Dirty Grandpa is one of the worst movies I've seen and it will likely end up near the top of my list of all-time worst movies..
Wrong.Dirty Grandpa (starring Robert De Nero, just let that sink in) was an unfunny mess of a film, with horrible jokes that could only be possibly viewed as any form of humour by middle-schoolers, and a plot line that made very little sense, with characters who make stupid choices along the way.
Robert De Niro and Zac Efron plays flawlessly, you have nothing to reproach them, comical phases are a lot, not the kind of comedy with just a few scenes, but one that hearty laugh, I can say that is worth seeing.
I love De Niro and gives earned the right to play and-not that kind of film that you see it's OK, if not, it's not a loss, but I think it was a lot of fun.
Movies like "The Room" are classics because they are so bad that you laugh at it because it's a complete failure and you enjoy it.
It's a movie that's clearly made to gain a profit and it feels like they shot it two weeks and it tries to make you think that the movie is about people and relationships, but it's not.I actually take a lot of personal offense with these kinds of movies because I happen to love movies and I know it's just a product made for a certain audience or for anyone who's dumb enough to pay for it (apparently including myself because I did) but I really found this movie offensive.I disliked every character in the movie and I genuinely hated the drug dealer and the cousin characters.
I'm going to go out on a limb and assume a lot of the people who gave this poor reviews were expecting a more serious De Niro like his prior roles and this movie is the complete opposite.
There are similarities with the recently released "Sisters" but at least that movie had the sense to include other types of comedy.Jason Kelly (Zac Efron) is an uptight lawyer who is only one week away from marrying controlling and domineering Meredith (Julianne Hough).
Efron is trying to escape from his "High School Musical" days but if he wishes to be regarded as a serious actor, he has to make better choices with his roles as he is still the hot bod of the movie.Quite a few of the scenes are unnecessary as they are unfunny and extend the caricature of the characters, especially that of Grandpa's.
I have to like clichéd, predictable movies targeted for that niche audience of female rebel wannabes and male who likes it dirty but still want to keep a corny soft spot...So I am a hater because I don't find De Niro particularly funny, even if he's a good actor.
I am a hater because I know how this movie ends within 15 minutes into it, once we are presented with the superficial and snobbish soon-to-be bride and her counterpart the rebel and independent chic who knows the groom from old days, when this poor actor, who is supposed to be somehow the main character but next to De Niro looks like a muppet, was still a dreamer who wanted to roam the world looking for adventures, something the grandpa doesn't take long to remind us within that first quarter of an hour, before the kid was pushed by his father and high class society to follow a more "down to Earth" career.
Totally crass and crude humour all the way through, with plenty of misdirected and overstated use of the 'F' word thrown in.I couldn't help feeling insulted whilst watching this film because the writer and director must think we are idiots that will find absolutely anything funny.It shocks me that this movie has got a rating of 6!
I was waiting for watching Robert De Niro and Zac Efron in this movie.
Dirty Grandpa, I thought with such a good actors it was impossible to have a bad film come out.
Zac Efron it's probably in one of the worst movies of his biography, and Robert De Niro is ridiculous, not even funny.
Thinking about kids or young adults watching this movie and picking up the idea of this being cool or funny is actually making me feel sick and I hope if you have a child a friend or a somewhat normal moral compass you would make sure that neither you or anyone you know would watch this garbage.Many of other reviews here already talked about the disgrace this movie is to the cinematic career of Robert De Niro and he should be ashamed deeply for being part of this movie.
It will never be considered as a great comedy movie but it has the feel good factor and is fun to watch throughout.
Same old cliché jokes and situations that you can see coming from a mile away.I don't know if they tried to do a teen comedy or a movie that sends some kind of message, which no one gets what it may be, but they don't get to do any of those.They guy selling drugs ?
Di Niro's character "Dick Kelly" and Zac Efron's character "Jason Kelly" seem forced through most of the film, leaving you to wonder if anyone could have possibly pulled off the story line with this sad attempt at writing comedy.
It's only watchable due to De Niro being the one saying it, otherwise honestly we would have walked out of this one.So, whilst I still like and respect Efron and De Niro this film just isn't worth seeing in any shape or form maybe in the afternoon on ITV2 in a few years' time, but don't waste money on it!.
I don't thing I ever saw Robert De Niro in a comedy film, especially a comedy like this one.I am pleased with what I saw and recommend this movie if you want to laugh(not to death) but you'll get some laugh now and there for sure.
I think this is one of the best movies of Zec Efron.Beside De Niro is completely different.Conclusion:A good movie,worth your time believe me it will..
The movie stars Robert De Niro and Zac Efron, as the two leads; and it costars Zoey Deutch, Aubrey Plaza, Julianne Hough and Dermot Mulroney.
I had a really good time in the movie theatre and I think you could too if you like this kind of humor.Have a nice day everyone..
In short, I didn't like Dirty Grandpa, but I do recognise that, despite a lot of its more 'on-edge' jokes, it's not actually very offensive, and so, if you've really got nothing else to watch, can be seen with your brain turned completely off.And that's where I'll start.
I never hated watching Dirty Grandpa, and although I was a little bored and checked my watch a couple of times, its silliness wasn't too annoying, and so it is watchable.There aren't too many strengths to this film, but the one thing that I really did like was Zac Efron's performance.
Not only does he play the good guy really well, and is definitely likable throughout, but on the occasion that he has to do some physical comedy, he pulls it off, and is easily the most entertaining part of the whole film.But I'm being very generous, because Dirty Grandpa really isn't funny.
What a great movie, yeah it's pretty crude but I like that kind of humor, it was funny to see Aubrey Plaza play an R18 version of her character from "Parks and Recreation".
Robert De Niro and Zack Efron makes us laugh until the end of the movie.
There where some moments where I slightly laughed a little, but the film itself feels like it's making itself up as it goes on.The raunchy gags are just thrown in your face, there is no timing to any of it, that is what made it not real funny for me.
Dirty Grandpa (2016) is a raunchy comedy film that tries too hard.
Dirty Grandpa is a crude and over the top adult comedy featuring solid performances from Zac Efron and Robert De Niro who both manage to bring a charisma that somehow makes it work despite an uneven script and some truly twisted humour that definitely won't appeal to everyone.
I'm not saying this film counts as good comedy and i don't think its worth paying out to see, but if you want to switch your brain off and have a few good laughs, well i suggest this over Ride Along 2 because you will have a better time.The first thing about this film is that Zac Efron and Robert DeNiro actually to my surprise work well together.
