Gay grandpa movies

by Jacob SullivanDirty Grandpa is shockingly bad. I’m still in awe of just how atrocious this film truly is. Not only did I laugh at one joke throughout the entire film, but the movie failed technically at an almost Birdemic level of incompetence. Lifeless acting, horrible racism, homophobic humor, mind-bogglingly bad editing, and a nonexistent story construct Dirty Grandpa more than an uninspired raunchy comedy; rather, it is a spectacle in bad cinema. It may have been released three weeks into , but I predict this might end up being be the worst movie of the year.
The film’s plot (what tiny there is) sees Jason (Zac Efron), an uptight lawyer, being guilt tripped into taking his horny and fittingly described “dirty” grandpa (Robert De Niro) on a road trip down to Florida after the grandfather’s wife of 40 years dies. While Jason is soon to be wed to a controlling fiancé (Juliane Hough), his grandfather convinces Jason to take him to Florida. The rest of the film follows the titular dirty grandpa as he runs around Daytona Beach with his grandson looking for sex, saying offensive one liners, and participating in enough edgy gross-out humor to construct John Water
I&#;d never heard of the movie Ideal Home, released in June of , until the other night when it caught my eye on the HBO app because of the faces of stars Steve Coogan and Paul Rudd. I’m a big fan of Coogan&#;s. He’s witty, snarky and exciting to watch because he has an element of peril about him. He’s not trying to please. As a middle-aged woman in America, I’m contractually obligated to drool over Jason Bateman, and if he’s not available, Paul Rudd.
Steve and Paul play Erasmus and&#;Paul, a bickering same-sex attracted couple who live a fabulous life in Santa Fe where Paul produces celebrity chef Erasmus’s lifestyle and cooking show. He’s like Rachel Ray, only British, gay, and draped in Southwestern clothing. A typical exchange: “Why are you wearing chaps to dinner?” “Even though I don’t believe in reincarnation, I’ve been more and more convinced that in a previous life, I was a cattle rustler.” “You couldn’t rope Ethel Merman.” The comedic connection and timing between the leads is in superb supply.

&#;Jimpa&#; Sundance review: John Lithgow stars as a gay grandpa in sappy film that tries too hard
JIMPA
Running time: minutes. Not yet rated.
Earnest sentimentality and a family casually yakking about sexual kinks make for strange bedfellows in “Jimpa,” an off-kilter dramedy that had its world premiere Thursday at the Sundance Film Festival.
Director Sophie Hyde’s semi-autobiographical movie about an Australian mom, dad and nonbinary teen who proceed to visit their queer grandfather in Amsterdam didn’t have me feeling prudish, though, so much as enormously skeptical throughout.
And often indifferent.
Hyde’s ably and poignantly dealt with beneath-the-sheets topics before. Her “Good Luck to You, Leo Grande” with Emma Thompson was a funny, touching and incisive comedy about a stressed-out woman who pays repeat visits to a sex worker.
However, while “Jimpa” is not without its charms, the situations and conversations are difficult to believe and damn nearby impossible to relate to. For a film that&#;s very much about connection, it completely fails to connect.
The overlong and too-steady film tries to say so much — about the struggles of bei
