Can the world's oldest adolescent maintain his cool while living with his grandmother? Alex (Allen Covert) is a 35-year-old video-game fanatic who gave up a career in accounting to take a job testing games for Brainasium, the company behind the wildly popular game "Eternal Death Slayer." While Alex took a big pay cut to land his dream job, he's happy with his work and is making ends meet -- until he discovers that his roommate hasn't paid the rent for the last six months, using the money to finance repeated visits to a local massage parlor. After running out of friends who will let him sleep on their couch, Alex swallows his pride and moves in with his grandma Lily (Doris Roberts), who loves Alex and is happy to give him a place to stay in exchange for doing chores around the house. Lily shares her home with two friends, perpetually confused Bea (Shirley Knight) and sexually adventurous Grace (Shirley Jones), and between the three of them, there's always work to be done, keeping Alex busy nearly every night. While Alex tells his co-workers he's living with three attractive women who are running him ragged, they don't know the real story; in the meantime, Alex is trying to charm Brainasium's beautiful new executive, Samantha (Linda Cardellini), while butting heads with the firm's space-case CEO Cheezle (Kevin Nealon) and J.P. (Joel David Moore), a teenage game designer who is no longer in touch with reality. Grandma's Boy was the first feature film from director Nicholaus Goossen. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

If you're looking for a movie with a great storyline or plot and looking for a serious film then you probably shouldn't rent this film. I, on the other hand, had some great laughing moments with this film. The comedy is somewhat quirky. I agree with some of the reviews that there isn't much of a plot to this film and you have to be somewhat of a junkie (like me) to get the jokes and enjoy this film.

If you liked Superbad this is for you also if you really liked Adam Sandlers early films, this film is not for everyone but it is very funny and has some extremely funny jokes the more i see it the better i think it is... contrary to some reviewers this movie does have a plot... yes it has some flaws in the story but thats the intersting part like the monkey but thats what makes it funny... after seeing this movie we purchased footed PJ's they are the coolest thing ever my daughter and i match now...

This movie was such a sleeper, a hilarious romp through the life of a 35yo pothead game tester. The whole cast was so good, you will recognize most of them from all the Adam Sandler films, and see some of his hand in this as well. This movie was well written with a phenomenally funny cast, even the sub-characters were hilarious. a well thought out plot and right on timing by the actors really make this a must see for any fans of anything funny. the addition of Doris Roberts as Grandma and Shirley Jones Shirley knight as her roommates was beyond funny. If you don't see this movie your really missing out on a funny funny flick
