Reviews

“[...] The plot is just the hook for sometimes malicious, sometimes vulgar situations that are filmed with a hidden camera. Attempting to embarrass or embarrass passers-by does not create any comedy. The film also lacks any feeling for echoing topics such as a lack of moral courage or the new, hedonistic attitude towards life of old people. "

"[...] We wouldn't have believed it before either, but the initially absurd mix actually works: Jackass presents: Bad Grandpa is the first film in the series that not only entertains penises jammed in coke machines with gross nonsense, but In addition to the laughing muscles, it also reaches the heart of the audience. "

Awards

The film was nominated for the 2014 Academy Awards in the "Best Make-Up" category.
