Melissa L @Agent99 Nov 26, 2025 This movie was was so foul, I turned it off within the few 15 minutes.

Not a family movie, but there's a credible plot with a great cast.

The pace is way off. I couldn't make it through it. Damn. See more Linda G @Goldy78 Jul 21, 2025 Love any movie DeNiro is in. Entertaining with some well known actors. See more Blu B @RT43513976 Nov 4, 2024 It's not the worst comedy in the world and compared to Dirty Grandpa that came out same year, this is Some Like it Hot quality compared to that. But it's not good. The music is pretty boring and forgettable with the same jazz track used most of the time and everything else about it is subpar. It looks cheap, the direction is really basic, there isn't much in the way of visual gags either. DeNiro honestly though isn't bad here and probably the best thing in this. His standup delivery is actually pretty good honestly which makes sense given he has done several classic comedies over the decades. The biggest problems I can point too besides lacking visual flare is everyone in the supporting cast isn't as funny, very forgettable, or not that likeable, and it feels after he goes to jail it feels like stuff just happens. The romance, the troubles he has with other people, his career, all feel like they just don't add up to much. It feels like this is trying to be a romcom mixed with a Lenny Bruce like character study and it just can't make the two work together in a cohesive meaningful way. The toilet jokes with the seniors also was the worst part and is so bottom of the barrel it's ridiculous. It does recover though somewhat. This also doesn't need to be pushing near hours either. Skip This. It's not that funny or that interesting.
