I would have given this movie a better score, but many of Bad Grandpa's best moments are revealed in the trailers. Its a shame too because this movie really does have a lot to offer.

This new Jackass movie was slightly different and refreshing to its original theme concept. More like it was similar to Canadian TV show 'Just for Laugh: Gags'. Pranking around the street with strangers. There were no written script, everything was captured as it happened in hidden cameras placed in various places. Appreciable for all these tricks, but the movie has been just good because it won't bring in us the wide laughs rather a little smile occasionally.… Expand

I wanted to like this movie but I barely laughed. I got a few chuckles but the one thing that ruined the movie to me was the addition of story. I love the Jackass movies as they are just random and are funny thought the whole film. BadI wanted to like this movie but I barely laughed.

Bad grandpa focused more on sex jokes than gags and pranks which I just didn't laugh at that much. It was kind of hard to believe that those we're real reactions because of the story aspect they put in.… Expand

There were certainly some hilarious scenes but unfortunately they tried to turn it into a somewhat serious movie. I don't mean the content was serious, I simply mean that they actually tried to give the film a real plot and story arc and at times it seemed as though that interrupted the humor. About half of the skits are funny and a few are legitimately hilarious but the rest is mainly filler in order to connect the timeline. That was where the movie failed, in my opinion. If you're a Jackass fan, like myself, you won't mind and you'll still enjoy it to an extent. If you're not, then the humor probably isn't for you anyways.… Expand

Moving in another direction for their fourth film, the producers of Jackass decided to focus on a single character from the franchise, Johnny Knoxville's Irving Zisman.

The film has everything you've come to expect from the series, as Knoxville plays a Grandfather, on vacation with his Grandson. Knoxville does his usual schtick, crashing into to things, saying outrageous things to strangers, and of course showing off his giant rubber testicles. As with most of the Jackass stuff, it's outrageous and hilarious for the first half hour, but quickly gets old. Maybe I'm just too old to appreciate Jackass anymore, but when I start out watching one of their films, I love it, and by the end, I'm just waiting for it to be over with. Knoxville is impressive, and while he's done films on his own, I think he was giving a message to the rest of the group in this film. The message being, if you guys don't want to do this anymore, I can make it work with anyone, even a 10 year old kid. Hopefully the message gets through and we'll get some more Jackass films. I really do love the simplistic comedic genius of the films, but it's repetitive nature makes anything more than an episode of the show wear on me. Maybe it's just not made for someone in my age group anymore, but regardless of age, Jackass has always been good for a few laughs and Bad Grandpa is no exception.… Expand

Another hit and miss comedy for me. Bad grandpa genuinely has some truly funny moments, but some jokes are plain stupid and forced which make them fall flat on their face.

I laughed hard at the very end... then a little bit in the middle... but other than that not much and neither did the other people in the theatre. I love the Jackass movies but this one fell short.

Jackass gives us another black comedy that’s funny and incredibly embarrassing to watch, even though its intellectual reach somewhat exceeds its grasp.

I love Jackass, and I had high expectations for this movie. Like all the other previous installments of this franchise are there not always much of those “laugh out of loud-moments”, but there are some. The characters are of course great, and Jonny Knoxville is awesome as usual. But Jackson Nicoll as Billy is the one aspect that’s the worst. He’s not fit for the role.

This movie is overall entertaining, but a bit fake and the directing isn’t the best.

Bad Grandpa gets a 6/10.… Expand

Went to see it with some friends, the movie is fun on some moments but it feels like you're watching a long benidorm bastards marathon and it gets quite boring on some times.

This film has its funny moments and others that are not funny at all, went into this with high hopes because I have enjoyed the jackass films but this fell short for me. I still think people should watch this at least once

This movie is stupid. Funny, but stupid. Luckily enough for the movie, the funny slightly outweighs the stupid.

Freaky hilarious to see real people's reactions to something they think is real. It's just crazy how do they make this without anyone knowing.
