Bad Grandpa

As impressed as I am with Johnny Knoxville and his willingness to don the make-up, play a character, and humiliate himself, I never really believed I was watching a crazy, old man. It always just seemed like a 40-year-old in an old guy suit. That doesn’t mean the movie isn’t funny. There are several big belly laughs thanks in large part to the kid, Jackson Nicoll, who’s a little firecracker. It’s a bit like "Borat", but less mean-spirited. While it’s worth seeing, it could easily wait for home video.
