I saw the previews for Bad Grandpa and immediately knew this was gonna be hilarious. A lot of times previews for comedies will give away the funniest scenes and then fail to deliver. While the preview does give away the beauty pageant, which at first was incredible but in the movie is just about what was seen in the preview, the funniest parts and not mentioned or hinted at in the previews. Let me tell you that I havent laughed this hard for a movie in quite awhile. It was hysterical!
I dont want to go into spoiling the comedy scenes. But my favorite stunts are the breakfast in a restaurant, the strip club and the soda machine...in that order. The breakfast scene was so funny I couldnt even laugh when I witnessed it, I was choking on my own spit and literally crying before finally bellowing out in laughter. I've never found something so funny that I couldnt get the laugh out.
One thing you want to keep in mind when watching this movie is this IS Jackass. While its a movie, only the kid, the Grandpa, the Grandma, Dad and Mom are actors. All these other people are NOT apart of the script and are not privvy to the stunts or what is really going on. At the end of the movie, before the credits, they do show you how some of these stunts were shot and how they got away with stuff without having Knoxville put in jail. But if you go into this movie thinking its a movie and these are all actors....you will NOT find this funny. The people that are filmed in this movie and their reactions/expressions are priceless in some cases. Anger, outrage, fear, etc. Remember this is Jackass and these are stunts and the people involved are not apart of the gag. They think this stuff is real.
Finally, the real life Bad Dad. So I hit the early matinee for this one. I love daytime matinee's as usually the theater is empty. Been to several where I was the only person in there watching. This one had about 10 people in the theater. 2 of which sat in the row behind me. A father, in his early 20s and his daughter.....around 6 or 7. 6 or 7?!?!?!?! Bad Grandpa is rated R for coarase language, sexual situations and nudity. And it has all of that and more! Now dont get me wrong. I dont believe I should be governing one's children. I certainly have no issue with a father bringing their child to see a Rated R movie.....even at 6 or 7. But Rated R as in violence or bad language. NOT sexual crap. The first movie my father ever rented on VHS and we watched on our VCR that he paid $500 for back when VCR's were cutting edge technology was Rambo First Blood: Part 2. I was raised to understand what I was witnessing was entertainment and not reality. There was never a confusion on my part. But I certainly wasnt watching Basic Instinct or porn at that age.
So the previews start and the first preview is for some horror movie. The little girl literally freaks out, screams and starts crying. She isnt whispering and is visibly upset. She says she is afraid. Dad responds to be quiet or he was gonna take her back to school?!?!?!?!!? WTF?! As we get into the movie, Knoxville says "cockblocker". The little girl asks Dad...whats a "cockblocker?" I couldnt hear his explanation. 3/4 of the way through the movie, she says she doesnt understand the movie and doesnt find it funny. Dad responded..."too bad. be quiet." I half expected Knoxville himself to rip off his mask or Ashton Kutcher to jump out and say I was on Punk'd or maybe some Dateline special asking me to have a seat over there. Nada. Nothing. It was a real life Bad Dad.

While I want to see it, I think I'll wait for the DVD release. Glad to know it's funny though, I had my worries that it wouldn't be that good.

Why is violence okay, but sex not?

My favorite part was when Knoxville explains why he doesn't go fishing.

I'm going to go watch it on Halloween night or Friday. I have a Spanish 2 test on Halloween, so I might just go the theaters afterwards.

Why is violence okay, but sex not? This...... I've never understood how it is ok when I watch tv to see violence. Like shootings, stabbings, fighting, and so on, BUT when a woman comes out on television in a thong they blur it. It's perfectly ok to show kids how to hurt another human being but it's not ok to see the human form? I saw Bad Grandpa. It was ok. If you like Jackass movies, then you'll prob enjoy this film. I did laugh at some scenes. The part in the restaurant was the funniest thing in the movie. Sadly though they show you most of the funny skits in the trailer. I really hated the scenes where the grandpa and grandson are alone chatting. Like the movie wasn't sure what it was. Was it a jackass/hidden camera people's reactions film? Or was it a scripted film about a grandpa and grandson? Those scenes with the Grandpa and Grandson talking about family and so on bring the movie to a complete halt. As for the gentleman you saw in the theater, I dont feel he was a bad father at all. As a child I HATED school. So if my dad were to take me out of school to go see a movie I'd be in heaven, even if I didnt like the movie. It seems to me like your issue was a father and his child? Maybe the baby was too loud for you? I tend not to judge people as harshly or as quickly as the O.P. For all we know the child prob begged the dad to take him/her. |

Without getting into too much of a debate over violence vs. sex....the reason is violence can be explained to a better understanding. Sex, for a young child, is A LOT harder to understand. As far as the parent goes....a child of 6 or 7 is a CHILD. What that child wants vs. needs is NOT to be determined by the child, but by the parent. Who cares if the kid hates school? Most of us hated school when we went and would much prefer to be at the movies, ball game, etc. As the parent, it is your responsibility to ACT like one and make the hard choices for them so they dont grow up to become this toolbag. If the child begged daddy to shoot her up with heroin, should he?  She hates school. This has nothing to do with a child at the movies or the noise she made. It happens fairly often and you just deal with it. This has to do with the content of the film and bad parenting. |

I think it is bad parenting to be over protective of your kids. If you want to baby your child to no end that's fine. But when that child goes into the real world he/she will be in for a surprise. Please dont compare drug use to watching a movie. Drug use is something that will destroy your child's development. Watching a movie will only broaden your child's mind. What was so bad about bad Grandpa? He didnt use drugs in the movie, he didnt have sex with anyone, he didnt hurt anyone with violence. MPAA rating: R for strong crude and sexual content throughout, language, some graphic nudity and brief drug use. The strong and crude sexual content was nothing obscene. Language, what child doesnt hear cuss words in school? Or at home from parents? Graphic nudity? I can only remember the scene in the strip club, but even then you dont see anything. And even then, why would a parent want to hide the human body from a child? Im not saying expose and look for movies with nudity for your kids, but if a scene shows skin why worry? We all have bodys. We all have our parts. And I cant remember the brief drug use, but what senior citizen doesnt take medication? Also I'd like to point out that you did NOT meet a bad parent. You saw a father treat his child to a day off from school to go see a movie. You just got on your high horse and turned your nose up to the air as you passed judgement on innocent people. AND I think it's MUCH easier to explain to a child what love and relations and intercourse is. It all comes down to loving another person and wanting to be with them. Im a grown man and I still can not fully understand violence, so it would be a lot harder trying to explain it to a child. I honestly dont understand why they blur a woman in a thong on television but yet there is no problem showing people get shot/stabbed/mugged/hurt. |

I highly recommend watching This Film is Not Yet Rated to understand how a negative view of sex, but not violence in film is a very American thing and is reversed in other cultures.

Are you being serious or just trying to start something?! If you cant tell why yanking your 6 or 7 year old daughter and taking her to Bad Grandpa, which is rated R for sexual situations, nudity, language, etc. then you shouldnt have children. This has nothing to do with being over protective. Over protective is not allowing your young child to watch Avengers cuz its too violent. Over protective is not allowing your kid to ride his bike in the street. Over protective is not taking your kid out of school once in awhile to see a movie he or she wants to see, a ball game, etc. Over protective ISNT yanking the kid out of school to take them to an R Rated movie. You might as well just take them to the ing strip club. Wait...cock blocking, ****, dick, etc is NOT obscene. How do you explain "cock blocking" to a 6 year old?!?!?! Not sure what version of Bad Grandpa you saw, but the strip club showed a man's nuts! I am honestly questioning the legitmacy of this post. Unless you were the guy in the theater just trying to cover your tracks. |

It's kinda like when people make a big deal out of getting ears peirced on a baby. In my family babys get ears peirced very early on. But in other cultures they wait till a baby is at least a teen. Some people even make a big stink out of a baby getting ears peirced. It's just different upbringing. Cock Block is a word a small child would not hear very often if at all. So you have a few alternatives should you be asked to define it. Cock is a rooster. And Block is a person who doesnt like roosters. See how simple that was? That strip club scene showed parts, as I said before we all have out parts. The human body is nothing to be ashamed of nor is it something to hide. The part you are talking about with male testicles makes me giggle, you do realize that was not a real set of testicles right? How hard is it to explain that away as being no different than the fake nose and mustache you get with plastic glasses? Im not trying to start anything here btw. Im just saying that you should live and let live. If a person wants to spend the day with their baby why should you judge them? What gives you the right to call that person a bad parent? I didnt see anything in Bad Grandpa that I found to be offensive and or inapropriate for a 7 year old. Obviously though you would not take a 7 year old to that movie. I dont think I am wrong for taking a 7 year old, I dont think you are wrong for not taking a 7 year old. What I do think is wrong is you calling that parent a bad father. |

I dont think I am wrong for taking a 7 year old, I dont think you are wrong for not taking a 7 year old. What I do think is wrong is you calling that parent a bad father. This is my LAST response to you on this subject b/c I cannot believe that this is a serious post. First off, I was raised in a VERY free enviroment. My parents allowed me to make my choices and mistakes. But they werent gonna let me watch porn at 7 years old! If your parents did....they too, are bad parents. You do not let a 7yr old watch pornography. Period, end of story. If you cannot understand why this is not age appropriate....then this is another reason why I done responding to you on the subject. I love your simple explanation of "cock block". Clearly you have never been around children. So lets just assume that the child you have explained this to accepts that definition without question. Then said child goes on a field trip with her classmates and they goto a farm. One of her classmates admits they dont like the rooster they see. The child responds "you're a cock block". How do you think the teacher is gonna respond to that? What happens when that kid goes home and tells her parents that your child called her a "cock block"?! But like you said...simple. I'm sure you wont have any issue being elected head of the PTA. Whether the parts were real or not real is irrelevant. Its not age appropriate. Clearly, there is a grey area. One parent might say its not age appropriate for their 12 yr old. Another might be ok with it. But this is a 7yr old. A child that is probably in K or 1st grade. What gives me the right to judge someone is human decency. I hate when people but their noses into other people's business....to an extent. There are grey areas and then there are areas that are without debate. |
