Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa (2013)
Rated R for language and nudity
Starring Johnny Knoxville, Jackson Nicoll
Directed by Jeff Tremaine
The Story:
Irving (Knoxville) is elated now that his wife has passed on. He's a free man who can enjoy the pursuits of happiness that all 86 year old men want: Strippers. Ah, but when he is suddenly saddled with his grandson (Nicoll) on a road trip from Nebraska to North Carolina, the two get into a myriad of crazy adventures as Irving must give the boy up to his deadbeat father. Of course, road trips have a way of bonding people, and perhaps Irving will get more than he bargained for out of this road trip.
Okay, that's basically the summary of the bridge that holds together a collection of hidden camera stunts for Knoxville to pull on unsuspecting people across America.

| What Happened? |
Some are crazier than others.
Some are downright hysterical.
Much of the amusement comes from the reactions of all of the people that witness what is happening.
I think the guy pictured above is still ticked off about his penguin.
:)
If you've watched any of the Jackass series or movies, you know exactly what you're getting here.
The extra heart comes from the attempt at a bonding road trip story between grandfather and grandson. Any time it begins to get truly sentimental, don't worry, they'll throw something at you to break up the moment.
My favorite stunt:
The talent contest at the girls beauty pageant.

| She...Uh...He's My Cherry Pie... |
Absolutely hilarious.
Plus, Cherry Pie is just an exceptionally good song.
Final Grade: C+
Rewatchability/Purchase Factor: I've seen it once, I'm good to go.
