Yup, I saw it. It was hysterical. Definitely laughed myself until I was coughing in the theater.
For those who like the Jackass movies, its right up your alley. However, this is different, its not just a bunch of crazy guys doing stupid stunts and filming them. This movie "kinda" has a plot to it. Its a strange mix of a pseudo-storyline about a grandpa who is taking his grandson across the country to live with his dad after this mom has to go to jail. Along the way, the grandpa gets into all sorts of bad situations. These situations appear to be via hidden camera, where the joke is on the grandpa and the funny part is generally the reaction that he gets from non-suspecting people who just happen to be there. For the most part, it appears the hidden camera stuff is legit, as it is hard to garner true reactions from bystanders who aren't actors. The closing credits of the movie also features producers walking into the room and announcing they're in a movie and this was all a stunt.
Anyway ---- the "stunts" themselves are pretty damn hilarious. From grandpa stripping down in an all-black male strip club, to his feeble attempts to hit on chicks on the streets, and a farting contest that goes horribly wrong in the middle of a crowded restaurant. Its gag inducing, uncomfortable at times but always hilarious to watch. Probably the funniest part of the movie is near the end, the grandson gets in on the act and dresses as a young beauty queen and performs in a pageant --- it's very "little miss sunshine" if you've ever seen that movie. Nuff said LOL. As part of the on-going "plot", turns out that grandma just died a few days earlier and they're also taking her body in the trunk along for the ride. Some of the gags involve them dragging the body around in public and even getting people to help them carry the wrapped corpse. Anyway -- its probably worth a watch if you want to laugh your ass off. I had to convince my wife to go to it (turns out in the town we were visiting that night, there was one movie theater and one movie....this) and she really didn't want to go, but she laughed as well. Definitely a dude movie though LOL. If you see it with your women, at least you get to laugh at her cringes and her reaction as well.
