Bad Grandpa

And now, for the fourth time, the guys of Jackass bring their antics to the big screen. This time, they've given a movie to Irving Zisman, the cantankerous old-timer played on the show by Johnny Knoxville. The whole title, simply enough, is Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa.

Irving Zisman is a free man. His wife, Ellie (Catherine Keener), has passed on. So now, he can flirt with anyone and everyone. But first, he has to take his grandson, Billy (Jackson Nicoll), to Raleigh to live with his dad. His mom's going to jail for possession, while his dad just loves the idea of a few hundred bucks a month in Child Support.

Yay! What a wonderful family this is...not.

But that's not why people are going to see this. No, they're here to see folks pull stupid stuff on an unsuspecting public. And for the rest of these 92 minutes, Irving does plenty of stupidity. Including:

1. Causing a ruckus at Ellie's funeral.

2. Crashing a wedding reception.

3. Running over stuff.

4. Getting trapped by an electronic bed.

5. Riding a coin-operated rocket straight through a store window.

And that's just some of the PC-Stuff he does.

Fans of the show may find all of these gags comic gems. The rest of us will find them either funny, awkward, or obnoxious. It's not for everyone, that's for sure.

The makeup artists deserve plenty of praise for aging Knoxville and Keener to unrecognizability. Keener also deserves praise since she spends the movie playing a corpse.

Again, if you're a fan of the show, Bad Grandpa should provide plenty of enjoyable stupidity. The rest of us should know what we're getting into. Either way, don't do these stunts at home and in public!
