Grandma's Boy Poster
I have been pretty upset with 20th Century Fox ever since they created an age-checking system that doesn't work. One of their upcoming comedies, Grandma's Boy, is being marketed like it will be the sole beacon of raunchy R-rated humor. Therefore, the R-rated trailer is supposedly so much better than the quicktime trailer. The only problem is that the protection that Fox placed around the trailer doesn't let anyone by no matter what age.
This, and the fact that I wasn't too into the trailer, was more reason why I figured Grandma's Boy would not be all that good of a film. Soon after 20th Century Fox rewarded us with a great looking poster for the film, something that at least showed the comedy was on the up & up.
And now we have the first early review for the film, a review I had imagined would be negative. But, to my surprise, the review is shockingly positive and claims Grandma's Boy is something worth checking out.
Grandma's Boy Review
The good people over at AICN have recently posted the first early review for Grandma's Boy and currently claim that the film is a solid stoner comedy.
Greetings AICN, MiraJeff here to let the cat out of the bag with a review of the Happy Madison-produced stoner comedy, Grandma’s Boy. It seems that our old buddy Adam Sandler has gone and done it again. Sort of. You see, besides a producing credit, Sandler is surprisingly absent from this movie, which is ultimately a good move because it doesn’t need him. I kept thinking Sandler was going to pop up like the Devil in Dirty Work, but thankfully, this one stays SNL free… except for cameos from Rob Schneider and David Spade, but hey, those guys deserve more work as it is. Even without them though, Grandma’s Boy would still be a raucous, mostly hilarious hard-R comedy that follows Sandler-movie logic to a tee, and I mean that in the best way possible. As Happy Madison takes over the National Lampoon’s throne, Grandma’s Boy can only be viewed as a high note for the company, because it’s funnier than box office hits like The Longest Yard, Anger Management, and 50 First Dates. But allow me to start at the beginning.
While the film probably won’t enjoy the same financial success that Sandler’s films too, it should be a movie that recoups its budget and makes Happy Madison proud, especially during January, the dumping ground month when we’ll probably go to the movies to see King Kong again. Grandma’s Boy is a raunchy comedy that people who liked Wedding Crashers and 40 Year-Old Virgin will enjoy.
Grandma's Boy is about a 35 year old guy who finds himself without a place to live and forced to move back in with his grandma.
Grandma's Boy comes to theatres on January 6th, 2006.
