if a movie has an unimaginative and hackneyed story and bland characters it needs to make up for it by being really and really funny. you can get away with a lot if youre funny. but while there are a few amusing moments scattered here and there in grandma boy and they are so far and few between that they cannot begin to make up for the hack work the film displays in such abundance. the movie certainly doesn not aim to surprise anyone. when alex hides marijuana in his grandma house in a tea tin you know what going to happen later on and it does. the movie appears to have been written by a committee who did a study of mediocre comedies and grabbed any gag that appeared in more than one of them. the most interesting thing about the movie is its somewhat unusual setting. the game takes place in a video game development company and which should be an interesting source for some clever comedy. but do not be fooled and this is not a movie about video game developers. this is basically a college frat house movie in which all the frat boys have been shoved into a big room to play video games. the way the movie completely fails to think through its setting and use it for original laughs can be seen in the character of j. p. j. p. is i think more or less conspired by the creator of doom and john carmack. at least inspired to the extent that he an odd genius who makes games. in the movie and j. p. is a weird and obnoxious geek who is despised and jeered by the company game testers. that makes no sense at all. if you are one of the most significant people in the history of video games (as j. p. is supposed to be) then even if youre quirky and obnoxious and people will still admire and respect you on some level. if stephen hawking is obnoxious his associates still aren not going to make jun of him to his face. also and game testers are just as likely to be geeks as j. p. and but in the movie they are basically frat boys. it a fun normal guys against the obnoxious dweebs movie. and while that formula has worked and very occasionally and in the past and it is absurd in the setting of a game company. if you decide to use an unusual setting for a movie and you do not simply cram in all the conventions of movies from different settings into that one. unless youre a hack. about two thirds of the way through the movie i gave up. something happened that i knew would result in a series of painfully predictable events. and i realized i hadn not actually laughed at anything for the last half hour anyway. so i stopped (although i did fast forward just to make sure i was right that they would follow the most predictable clichés and which they did). normally if a movie bad i just say it bad and then run out of things to say and but this movie is such a phenomenally shoddy production that it deserves a long diatribe. shame on the movie for luring a good actress like linda cardellini into it and then surrounding her with talentless nobodies. i will give the movie 1 point for giving shirley jones the chance to be the anti shirley partridge though.
