Eighty-six-year-old Irving Zisman is on a journey across America with the most unlikely companion: his eight-year-old grandson Billy, in "Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa". Jackass characters Irving Zisman (Johnny Knoxville) and Billy (Jackson Nicoll) will take movie audiences along for the most insane hidden camera road trip ever captured on camera. Along the way Irving will introduce the young and impressionable Billy to people, places, and situations that give new meaning to the term "childrearing". The duo will encounter male strippers, disgruntled child beauty pageant contestants (and their equally disgruntled mothers), funeral home mourners, biker bar patrons, and a whole lot of unsuspecting citizens. Real people in unreal situations, making for one really messed up comedy.
Leave your thoughts about Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa.
| Minneapolis Star TribuneColin CovertMy contender for funniest movie of the year. |
| Hollywood ReporterJohn DeFore[The plot] focuses the general air of collegial numbskullery into a buddy-pic bond between Knoxville and the very well-cast Jackson Nicoll. |
| Aisle SeatMike McGranaghanThank goodness comedy still has the power to make us confront the stuff decorum tells us to avoid. |
| Schmoes KnowKristian HarloffThe pranks themselves, the incredibly deft execution and improvisation (by both Knoxville and his impressive child co-star), and most of all the reactions from the prankees make for some of the best laughs I've had in or out of a theater this year. |
| The PlaylistDrew TaylorThere’s a restless inventiveness to many of the gags that are matched only by the outrageousness of their surroundings. |
| Hollywood & FineMarshall FineI didn't laugh as often as I did at the earlier Jackass films, but it did make me laugh just as hard. |
| 2UE That Movie ShowBlake HowardBad Grandpa is to Jackass what Borat is to Ali G. The gag is far less about Irving and his grandson; it's relishing in how they antagonise and perplex their unwilling support cast. It's juvenile, it's ridiculous but I laughed, a lot. |
| Q Network Film DeskJames KendrickBad Grandpa's biggest, most eyebrow-rising surprise may very well be the fact that we actually grow to care about him and Billy by the final reel |
| Portland OregonianStephen WhittySometimes it's a delicate comedy-drama with Oscar-worthy performances and touches of "A Streetcar Named Desire." And sometimes it's a foul-mouthed "Candid Camera" full of poop jokes and starring Johnny Knoxville in old-man makeup. |
| Boston GlobePeter KeoughIt’s the kind of outrageous comedy that you might even take your folks to, though probably not your kids. Say what you will about Harmony Korine and his demented geriatrics, at least they take their trash seriously. |
