Richard Roeper gave the film zero stars and said that if Dirty Grandpa was n't the worst movie of 2016, there was still serious torture waiting for him in the near future (“If Dirty Grandpa isn't the worst movie of 2016, I have some serious cinematic torture in my near future. "). Mike Ryan of Uproxx wrote that this was the worst movie he had ever seen in a cinema ("Dirty Grandpa is the worst movie I've ever seen in a movie theater."). Glenn Kenny wrote that the film was funny because it failed to create a funny scene.

The dramaturgical superstructure around life lies and the possibility to reconcile oneself with one's existence only serves to enhance the mixture of manliness mania and obsession with sex. "
