Take a look at this right now hollywoods most Creative Minds are working feverishly to correct create the next great cinematic masterpiece, but in the meantime they are starting up serving up cinematic slime, and Robert De Niro shows up in both categories. His new film takes us to depths , the only difference is that those guys make their punchlines count. All jokes extend painfully beyond the point of amusement and dirty grandpaa, which is not to imply that there was a joke there to begin with. In case the title has not given niro plays a raunchy widower who wants to sell some wild oats, so he rankles his grandson to daytona as his wingmen. In theory, this can make for some comic possibilities, but it also feels a little too soon. Are you kidding me right now . G randmas funeral was yesterday.

You are absolutely correct. Dirty grandpa stinks. [ laughter] the interesting part of this is zac efron imitated Robert De Niro in the movie neighbors. That was a cute moment. Oh, well. Then they had to go and spoil it at all by making a movie together. Leo smith, thank you so much for that update. Sorry it stunk.
