Grandma’s Boy: The Hilarious Stoner Comedy You Never Knew You Needed

Are you in the mood for a raunchy and hilarious stoner comedy? Look no further than Grandma’s Boy! Directed by Nicholaus Goossen, this 2006 film follows the misadventures of video game tester Alex (played by Allen Covert) as he navigates work, romance, and a chaotic living situation.

One of the best things about Grandma’s Boy is its ensemble cast of comedy veterans. From Allen Covert to Nick Swardson to Jonah Hill, the film is chock-full of talented comedians who bring their A-game to every scene. Even the smaller roles, like Linda Cardellini as Alex’s love interest and Shirley Jones as his weed-smoking grandmother, are played to perfection.

As a movie about video game testers, Grandma’s Boy is surprisingly accurate in its depiction of the gaming industry. From the over-the-top game concepts to the jargon-filled conversations, the film captures the absurdity and fun of game development. And of course, the stoner humor only adds to the hilarity.

While Grandma’s Boy is primarily a comedy, it also has a heartwarming underdog story at its core. Alex starts out as a slacker with no direction in life, but as he works on a new video game and deals with his living situation, he begins to find purpose and passion. It’s a satisfying character arc that adds depth to the humor.

With a Rotten Tomatoes score of 16%, “Grandma’s Boy” may not be a critical darling, but it’s definitely a cult classic that deserves more love. If you’re in the mood for a silly and irreverent comedy with a lot of heart, give Grandma’s Boy a chance. Reels, Booze & Bro’s podcasts believes you won’t be disappointed.
