Grandma's Boy

A guy you've seen in every Adam Sandler movie but you don't know his name stars in Grandma's Boy, a movie that combines videogames and weed, David Spade, Rob Schneider and Kevin Nealon (though sadly no Sandler), and a fat guy sucking a hooker's tit for 13 straight hours. Directed by Nicholaus Goossen, and written by Barry Wernick, Nick Swardson and aforementioned unknown actor who's actually called Allen Covert, this is a very funny geek stoner comedy that with a simple story and many idiotic characters, makes for a movie that delivers exactly what it wants, and that is laughs. Some stupid, some disgusting, but still laughs, and many of them.

After Covert's titular character named Alex gets kicked out of his house, he ends up living with his grandma Lilly (played by Doris Roberts), and her two roommates Grace (Shelley Knight), an old lady who used to hand job Charlie Chaplin, and Bea (Shirley Jones), who is kind of Anchorman’s Brick but very old and female. Alex is 35 years old and works at a videogame company as a tester (it's what he loves, so no problem there), and he's the very best one there, and a master gamer. With him work his friend Jeff (played by stand up comic Swardson) and a bunch of other guys like Jonah Hill's Barry the aforementioned fat guy (also the fat guy trying to buy boots at the eBay store in The 40 Year Old Virgin), and Kelvin Yu's Kane, the token Asian guy with the pimped out car. There's a million funny lines, and there's hotness from Linda Cardellini's Samantha, the guys' new boss, but most of the laughs come from Joel Moore who plays J.P., the genius that develops the games there, a totally introverted guy who sounds like Napoleon Dynamite when he's not talking like a robot, all while wearing a long black coat pretending to be Neo and being in the matrix. The guy is pretty impossible to completely describe but he's really funny.
There's also Peter Dante, another Sandler regular who here plays Dante, the stoner who gets Alex the weed, many different kind of weed, and he's also into animals, as we see him getting first a lion from Africa, and then a monkey whom he teaches karate.

If you are wondering, the movie does have a plot that they put to work by the end of the movie about J.P. stealing a prototype videogame Alex had been working on for years. But before that is all jokes and videogames and weed, and it works, Grandma's Boy looks stupid, and don't get me wrong, it is, but is still funny, and it's probably even funnier if you know your videogames and watch it stoned.
