C-
Incompetence combined with the occasional burst of disreputable laughter makes Dirty Grandpa oddly lively for a movie that's largely terrible. Go to Full Review Jason Bailey Flavorwire 07/23/2016
Equal parts bad and baffling, it seems to have been written and directed by alien life forms who read YouTube comment sections for a week and drew these conclusions about human behavior. Go to Full Review Liz Braun Toronto Sun 02/04/2016
This is a movie that desperately wants to be a raunchy, politically incorrect, gross-out comedy. It gets as far as desperate. Go to Full Review Richard Crouse Richard Crouse 02/03/2021

De Niro's legacy as an actor will be cemented with ground breaking films like Casino, Raging Bull, Taxi Driver, Goodfellas and Heat - just to name a few. Dirty Grandpa will not. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
