I felt absolute disgust while watching this movie. There were so many moments where the staged skits were so outrageous, maybe even too much. Although there were plenty of funny moments I did get bored after a while. Thirty minutes of skits is enough for me. A movie is just too painful to watch. I got tired of seeing people being subjected to hearing and witnessing terrible things. You can do funny without being abusive or traumatizing people.Now I'm not a hater and I can appreciate that some people would enjoy this movie but it's not something I would recommend for the average person. I will say that Johnny Knoxville's old man makeup was flawless though and probably the best thing of the movie. After watching I left with a few laughs especially in the beauty pageant scene, but for the most part I felt sick.

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've never been a Jackass fan , but "Bad Grandpa" was genuinely hilarious. There's a narrative to the movie, but really that's just an excuse for the antics. And Knoxville is on fire here. The man deserves hug credit for never cracking up in the middle of a prank, and that takes serious skill. The vending machine, the male strip club, the "shart" scene in the restaurant - they're constantly going to unbelievable lengths, and half the fun is just seeing the peoples' reactions. I had a lot of fun with this movie, a pleasant surprise indeed.I don't know where they could take this story-wise, but count me in for a sequel.7/10

I found a lot of this film not very funny and kind of boring, at most things could make me smirk maybe but not laugh. However there were a few exceptions and I'm glad I watched the entire film just for them. The talent show bit in particular I found so so funny. So personally I would not recommend watching the entire film to a friend but I would show them clips of the few parts I found funny and worth watching. Overall I guess I am glad I watched it for the few parts which did make me genuinely laugh and so if someone has spare time to watch a few not very funny things as well and wait for a part which will make you laugh then I think it's an OK film to watch.
