Call it a dissenting opinion if you must, but Dirty Grandpa has sporadic moments of hilarity.
There’s a certain perverse brilliance, however accidental, to a movie that creates a longing for a foulmouthed Aubrey Plaza/Robert De Niro romcom.

When I'm watching a movie I ask myself this question. Am I being entertained? Not only did this movie entertained, I found myself laughing at all the stupid (funny) humor this film had to offer. It's nice to see that Boddy D. does not take himself too seriously. If you want to watch a fun stupid film this is it!!
Report
Dirty Grandpa feels like spending 100-plus minutes with a scatalogical toddler, proudly showing you what he made in his diaper. Don’t look if you don’t have to.
The shock value of the dialogue – and it is staggeringly rude at times – is neutered by a rambling lack of narrative drive and, ultimately, a sentimental justification that feels disingenuous.
As in Judd Apatow's films, crassness is boasted as shamelessness, and calculated sentimentality is dressed up as empathy.
It can be definitively stated that Dirty Grandpa is utterly unfunny.
If Dirty Grandpa isn’t the worst movie of 2016, I have some serious cinematic torture in my near future.
I actually don't care (and quite don't get it why it has so many negative reviews) if most of you guys have felt this way about the movie; I'll be honest, for me, it has served its purpose - it was intended to make us/ me laugh and it did (I went a week ago to see this movie and the cinema was full; I'm telling you, EVERYONE was laughing the cr*p out of themselves)

By far one of the worst things De Niro has ever done. I can't honestly speak for Efron (not exactly on my radar). That said, it's hardly the worst comedy ever made - or even the worst "teenage sex comedy" ever made. It even has some funny **** is surely something of a cringe-fest for much of its running time. And 102 minutes? Would've been pushing its luck at 80 (with credits)!
Only recommended to those with very, very low standards.
Report
To think Robert DiNero, one of the greatest actors of this generation agreed to do this film is truly telling. The acting from Efron, Duetch and Jason Mantzoukas, whom provides the most laughs in this movie is solid. Aubrey Plaza and Di Niro truly sleep walk through this movie as both truly don't seem like they want to be there. The movie fails the most in its vulgarity, its tasteless and most of the time has no reason. Vulgarity, when done right can be truly funny but when done like this can only spell doom.
Report
Mildly funny. Efron and De Niro had okay chemistry. But there was absolute zero plot. It revolved about De Niro wanting to have sex with a college girl.
