I knew nothing about this film until it was released but I liked Jack*ss so I thought I'd give this a go.I loved it!!!It is done by the Jack*ss guys so that gives you an idea of what to expect. It's not as full on as the series and movies with all the bodily fluids but there is one scene with sh*t. Both Johnny Knoxville and Jackson Nicoll (the kid) are awesome!! Not much to say about this but if you are a fan of Jack*ss, then you will love this! Would most definitely watch a sequel!!!

Johnny Knoxville returns for some more crude pranks and gut-busting in this spiritual successor to the Jackass films. Unlike the popular televisions and the movies, this film is accompanied with a storyline about a relationship of an raucous elder man and his grandson. Suited up in prosthetics and heavy make up to give him the looks of an old man, Johnny Knoxville plays Irving Zisman, an 86-year old man who is in the hospital when he learns that his wife has just passed. However, instead of responding the situation with sorrow, he becomes excited now that he is a free man, and is free to party and do whatever he wants. His adventures into his free life become delayed during the funeral when he asked to take care of his eight-year old grandson Billy (played by Jackson Nicoli) and take him to his dad Chuck (played by Greg Harris) in North Carolina, while his mother is doing time in jail for drug usage. Initially against his will, Irving takes Billy on a road trip in which ends up turning into an adventure of hilarious shenanigans and stunts.Filmed in documentary style, much like the television series and movies, this hysterical spin-off presents viewers with a insanely crude, yet funny experience with the two main characters engaging in hilarious pranks and mischief that often results in appalled or amused reactions from extras on screen. Whether it is from young Jackson Nicoli cross dressing as a beauty pageant girl, or Johnny Knoxville going wild at a strip club full of people probably a third of his character's age; it is always funny. Though some of vulgar humor and profane language, some of which come out of the mouth of the eight year old, is enough to turn some viewers off, it often plays out to make viewers laugh their heads, and aims to be intentionally vulgar, although some people tend to see it that way. Those who are less entertained by the hilarious, but envelope-pushing pranks may find most amusement out of the shocked and disgusted reactions of the people on screen. Johnny Knoxville plays his character out pretty well and the same thing can be said for Jackson Nicoli. They present their characters with such amazing comedic chemistry.Bad Grandpa may go a bit overboard at times, but it is a faithful and stunningly hilarious spiritual successor to the Jackass films, and Jeff Tramaine does a great job directing this. This is definitely one of the funniest comedies I have seen in recent years.

I hate to admit it, but the movie had some really fun moments where I actually LOL. It was better than I expected from watching the trailer.The movie is built as an actual film with a story, which incorporates a candid camera in each scene. There are some dull moments, but usually the result is pretty funny.The makeup on Knoxville is absolutely fantastic and he's "lost" (in the good way) in the character - you think of him as an old guy, not as a guy in makeup. I have to give it to Knoxville, who is pretty convincing in his performance. The kid is also great. Both actors never break character and they are great in improvisation.Don't get me wrong - this is not a masterpiece, it's "Jackass"-silly, but if you want to have some harmless fun you'll enjoy (most of) it.

Not much time to say a lot..so I will just say THANK YOU!!! It was brilliant and so hilarious...we laughed our as....s off here! I also liked that there was a good show of humanity and compassion such as in the biker bar scene. I think it takes a lot of courage to be outrageous, to say and do the things the actors did, to unbeknownst people all through the taping of this movie. To put oneself at risk of being beaten up or worse is amazing to say the least. The young lad is certainly a real trooper and future success for more work in the industry! I tip my hat to you all involved and will look forward to many more belly-busting and improvising works of real true comedy in it's most basic form...the unsuspecting receivers! Keep it up and make more stuff! I, we love it!
