Directed by Nicholaus Goossen.
Can the world's oldest adolescent maintain his cool while living with his grandmother? Alex (Allen Covert) is a 35-year-old video-game fanatic who gave up a career in accounting to take a job testing games for Brainasium, the company behind the wildly popular game "Eternal Death Slayer." While Alex took a big pay cut to land his dream job, he's happy with his work and is making ends meet -- until he discovers that his roommate hasn't paid the rent for the last six months, using the money to finance repeated visits to a local massage parlor. After running out of friends who will let him sleep on their couch, Alex swallows his pride and moves in with his grandma Lily (Doris Roberts), who loves Alex and is happy to give him a place to stay in exchange for doing chores around the house. Lily shares her home with two friends, perpetually confused Bea (Shirley Knight) and sexually adventurous Grace (Shirley Jones), and between the three of them, there's always work to be done, keeping Alex busy nearly every night. While Alex tells his co-workers he's living with three attractive women who are running him ragged, they don't know the real story; in the meantime, Alex is trying to charm Brainasium's beautiful new executive, Samantha (Linda Cardellini), while butting heads with the firm's space-case CEO Cheezle (Kevin Nealon) and J.P. (Joel David Moore), a teenage game designer who is no longer in touch with reality. Grandma's Boy was the first feature film from director Nicholaus Goossen. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

"Maybe its because I am too a video game fanatic, or maybe its just the pure enjoyment I get from watching Allen Covert and Nick Swardson play their respected roles with perfection, but I can't help but to walk away from this movie every time with a huge smile across my face. Mark my words, its been a far too long a wait for Allen Covert to get his chance to step out of Sandler's shadow, and Swardson in my opinion has the talent to be the next Will Ferrell. Every scene Swardson is in is hilarious, its unfortunate to me that when Covert does finally get his chance Swardson steals the spotlight. Let's not forget another one of my favorite up and coming actors, Jonah Hill. Grandma's Boy is ripe with future talented actors and I can't wait to see where they go next. I hope Covert pulls a Sandler and at least keeps these two guys in with some form of cameo for his next flick. Now that I'm done boasting about the actors let me get to the goods. Grandma's Boy is ... " [More]
