10/10
Funnier Than I Thought It Would Be

To be honest, I thought that "Grandma's Boy" would not be so funny. A good friend suggested that I watch this film, so I sat and watched it. I hate to admit this, but this was an incredibly funny film.

Alex (Allen Covert)is a video game tester who loses his apartment. Not being able to stay with his friends Dante(Peter Dante)or Jeff (Nick Swardson), he accept an invitation to stay with his Grandma Lily (Doris Roberts)and her 2 roommates Bea (Shirley Knight)and Grace (Shirley Jones). It's not an easy living arraignment, and it doesn't help matters when he is supposed to finish up a project for the Neo-wannabe J.P. (Joel David Moore). With the help of Samantha (Linda Cardellini), who is brought in to oversee the project, Alex's life starts to get very interesting.

I laughed incredibly hard while watching the movie. There's scenes involving pot drinking grannies, a monkey that gets high, does karate and drives (don't ask), and one character has an intimate encounter with a doll. The real funny part involved Shirley Jones. What she does in this movie is 360 degrees from Ms. Partridge from The Partridge Family.

To be honest, older people will consider this movie garbage, or won't understand the humor or the video game concept. However, this film had me laughing a lot. It's worth a looks.
