Billy Madison is great and instantly quotable.
I award myself no points and may God have mercy on my soul.
I love it. So absurb. So great. Just ridiculous fun through out.
The mucas queen, is yours.
Thanks!
Lunchlady Land and Ode to My Car are two of my favorite comedy songs and I still listen to them. Sandler is capable of being funny, but like an old athlete sitting on an expensive contract, he doesn't have to work harder to make money.
Very few comedians work harder than Sandler. Do you realize how many movies he’s still producing? He’s a machine. And his stand up special on Netflix a year or two back was easily one of the best specials of the past 5 years
I won't speak on the special I haven't seen, but producing mainly crap every year to fulfill his Netflix obligations doesn't really make him productive. His Rotten Tomatoes account from the last decade mostly equates to a tire spinning with no traction.
I enjoy some of the movies his production company "Happy Madison" produces as well.
Deuce Bigalow, Joe Dirt, The Hot Chick, Paul Blart, and The Wrong Missy are a few I've seen that I enjoy that DON'T star Sandler.
Grandma's Boy has a RT score of 16% so what does that tell you?
That sometimes critics can blow it out their ass cuz Grandma's Boy is one of the best movies ever. It's still, anyone could see you the Jack and Jill's a product of lazy an outdated writing.
Chill bro. You know you can't raise your voice like that when the lion gets here.
That people have different opinions and in no way shape or form is RT the end all be all just like 5 years ago IMDB wasn't.
Me do English good.
My roommate at the time said he just started Grandma's Boy and I walked in at the right time. I dropped what I was doing, rolled a big ole fatty with the bud he just bought and watched. As soon as Kevin Nash showed up I knew shit was on! I was happy to see Allen Covert get his time to shine and thought he more than held his part of the movie.
Also, Doris Roberts kills any role she's given and no exception here.
Ah man I always forget Nash is in that as one of the movers lol. Eating some chips.
Grandma's Boy is the sleeper hit of my life. It's the one movie that I know wasn't meant to be shit and I'm sure many feel it isn't that good. But for me, it's one of the best comedies of all time.
Nash playing the strong silent type. I was really hoping Kev would be in the movie more. Rob Schneider pretty much comes in and takes over the scene at that point.
I met Nash at a local show a couple years back. He couldn't have been cooler. I had him sign the Diesel figure I have and took a picture with him doing the "Two Sweet" hand sign.
I haven't watched the flick in forever but I probably watched it every day for like 2 months solid when it first was released on DVD. Movie was over in my house!
Guy who played JP knocked it out of the park as well.
RT scores don't correlate at all with how many people watch a movie. And I'm sure Netflix doesn't give a shit what critics and reviewers think of their content, as long as folks watch it and continue to subscribe to their service.
The world has lots and lots of people in it, and most of them don't want to watch critically-acclaimed movies.
Such a fun movie.
The cast list is fucking nuts - Brendan Fraser, Steve Buscemi, Michael McKean, Chris Farley, Judd Nelson, Michael Richards, Joe Mantegna, David Arquette
Harold Ramis and Ernie Hudson.
Let's not forget that Lemmy had a cameo too. He was the school magazine editor.
After I pondered a moment I forgot Lemmy ("I was editor of the school magazine!") and Rob Zombie (played at the club Farley finds Kayla) also in it. Flick is seriously jacked to the gills with talent.

Ha, read my mind sir!
Its like Mallrats.
Deeply flawed, sometimes poorly put together and badly acted but still awesome and funny as hell.
I actually just had the scene pop in my head the other day where Covert accidently jerks off all over his friends mom and I was driving. Spit my drink all over the wheel and nearly ran into traffic.
No way I could have explained that to an officer.
"You see sir...have you ever seen Grandma's Boy?"
Laura Croft will make a man do crazy things.
Grandma's Boy is in my top 10 most def. I fuckin love that movie. It was life for a while. Not just for me, but for some of my friends too. I lived with my grandma until she passed on in 2010. 2 of my close friends also lived with their grandmas for a while. All 3 of us sold drugs. Their grandmas hated drugs. Mine didn't really care.

I watched this and it was alright. Sandler’s character is definitely waterboy-esque... a simpleton with a weird voice who is fixated on one thing (Halloween instead of water). The character is similarly endearing in how he always has a positive attitude despite being bullied but the voice isn’t funny like it was in Waterboy. I can see why he needed to do a voice because the character is so simple that playing it straight would have been weird but it’s a little annoying and hard to understand at times.
Anyway there’s some decent comedy in here but nothing too noteworthy. It’s not a great Halloween movie nor a great Sandler movie but it’s not awful. It has a lot of throwbacks to old Sandler movies and that was cool.
On a 4 point scale of bad Sandler, decent Sandler, good Sandler, great Sandler... I give this 2 out of 4 (decent Sandler).
Might watch that one on Saturday. Not a big Sandler fan (anymore at least) but I do love Halloween films. I'm hoping it's one of those movies I'm expecting to be awful but it turns out to be good.
It felt a little closer to classic Sandler than he usually does these days (O'Doyle rules is called back here) but it's still a very family friendly style Sandler film which don't really grab me. I mean to watch with my kid? Sure sure. But sometimes I want nudie magazine day.

is this kid friendly though? 10 years ago sure but there was quite a bit of content that I dont think would fly as kid content in this day and age.It felt a little closer to classic Sandler than he usually does these days (O'Doyle rules is called back here) but it's still a very family friendly style Sandler film which don't really grab me.

I enjoyed it. didnt think I would but it was bad. lots of little laughs for me and I was expecting zero.
I don't remember anything that seemed off for a 10 yr old. Although I was looking at my phone a lot.
quite a bit of swearing, tons of underage drinking with a lot of blind eyes turned to it by adults, 60 year old dude hitting on a teen, plenty of sex talk and murder attempts.
probably just over analyzing it tbh but just seeing what most people complain about these days just made it seem a bit over the limits for kid friendly.
