Dirty Grandpa - De Nero in Spring Break?
Directed by Dan Mazer (whose directorial credits include episodes of Da Ali G Show and the 2013's I Give It a Year) and written by John Phillips (who is writing the upcoming Bad Santa 2), Dirty Grandpa is built around a pretty straightforward joke: old men are shameless deviants who are totally out of fucks to give and are therefore ideal vessels for raunchy comedy. In this particular case, De Niro plays Dick, a recent widower who drags his strait-laced grandson Jason (Efron) to Daytona Beach during Spring Break. Naturally, Jason has a nagging fiancée and naturally Dick gets to teach him how to party and live it up and so on.
Whether or not this movie makes a splash (no pun intended) is up to the audience. But what is truly astounding is De Nero is still keeping things fresh despite being in the industry for so long and still manages to surprise everyone. The film's release date has been a subject of contention for a while now, with scheduled dates like Christmas of last year to August this year. However the final date has now been narrowed down to 28th January for a worldwide release.
