Movie Review: Bad Grandpa

Sorry I've been M.I.A. readers. I worked Rob Zombies Great American Nightmare during October, still had school, and then had to catch up on school and return to "civilian life" once November hit. With all that plus some personal stuff going on, blogging has been the last thing on my mind...

But anyways, I'm back with your ultimate geeky utility belt, so lets get back to speed with a movie review...

About a week ago, I was in a bad mood and looking for an excuse to get out of the house. I ended up at my local movie theater, wasting money on what I am now here to warn you about...

I learned that there are two things that should never go together: Jackass and plot.

 

 

Bad Grandpa features Jackass star Johnny Knoxville as Irving Zisman, an elderly widower who is suddenly stuck with his grandson at his side.

 

The film attempts to give a flowing plot while still incorporating the regular hijinks and shenanigans of the popular Jackass franchise...

 

...It doesn't work...

 

Some of the pranks are semi-funny, but the effect is lost without the usual lovable cast. I'll admit, some of my laughs were forced in an attempt to make me feel like I hadn't wasted $11 and an hour and a half of my time.

 

If you want the old Jackass that you know and love, don't bother. True, the old Jackass movies and TV show were bad, but hey, at least they were funny...
