Overview

Jason Kelly is one week away from marrying his boss's uber-controlling daughter, putting him on the fast track for a partnership at the law firm. However, when the straight-laced Jason is tricked into driving his foul-mouthed grandfather, Dick, to Daytona for spring break, his pending nuptials are suddenly in jeopardy. Between riotous frat parties, bar fights, and an epic night of karaoke, Dick is on a quest to live his life to the fullest and bring Jason along for the ride. Wikipedia ↗

About the Film

Dirty Grandpa is a 2016 American comedy directed by Dan Mazer. Robert De Niro stars as Dick Kelly, a recently widowed retired Army Special Forces officer who manipulates his uptight, button-down grandson Jason, played by Zac Efron, into driving him to Daytona Beach for spring break — ostensibly to pay respects at a veteran's memorial but actually to get drunk, smoke weed, and pursue college women, particularly a young woman played by Aubrey Plaza. The film's comedy was built on the disconnect between Robert De Niro's distinguished cinematic legacy and the relentlessly crude, sexually explicit humor his character engaged in — a contrast that some audiences found hilarious and many critics found uncomfortable.

Aubrey Plaza's openly aggressive pursuit of De Niro's Dick provided the film's most quotable moments. Dirty Grandpa earned $104 million worldwide on a $11 million budget.

Robert De Niro lifts Zac Efron in new poster for "Dirty Grandpa". Zac confirmed this wasn't faked at all. Keep in mind De Niro is 72.
Top comment: "Nice try marketeers. However your film still looks bloody awful."
