There was a time when DeNiro was selective in the films he did but that ended about 20 years ago. Now he's just another whore actor. Saw the preview looks beyond bad.

After watching "Dirty Grandpa", Mr. DeNiro's legacy can no longer be grandfathered.

I grew up with a group of Italian American straight friends. It's fun to see them lose their shit everytime I mention that I think Robert De Niro is a ridiculously overrated actor. I have never understood the praise even his early work gets. But as for the last 20 years, the track record has been abysmal and it can not all be blamed on lousy scripts and bad directors (though he seems to have no issue working with either). Literally, the only decent films he's made in the past 20 years - and he's made a TON of them - have been Silver Linings Playbook, Jackie Brown, Cop Land, Heat and Casino. And all but one of those are from the 90s.

De Niro is now just playing a caricature of himself and it's sad.

Movies like this remind me of the big stars in the 40s and 50s who tried to become super hip in the 60s, like Jackie Gleason doing Skidoo and Bob Hope doing I'll Take Sweden.

Now big stars are trying to be dude-bros and making movies like this.

The review at the link is great.

[quote]This is a very disturbing and difficult movie to watch. Someday, scholars will teach classes, warning them of what can happen when evil wins. When we watch the scene when Zac Efron’s Jason Kelly wakes up on the beach, wrecked after a night of smoking crack, only wearing a thong with a big stuffed bee attached, it’s tragic enough. But then when a small child wants to play with the bee and that child’s father thinks the child is performing a lewd sexual act on Efron, it makes us want to stop the movie, remove it from its projector, and throw it in the river. Then we light that river ablaze in all its glory. But that’s the easy way out. This film needs to be studied so that what’s depicted here can never, ever happen again.

Dirty Grandpa is The Most Important Movie Ever Made.

Efron seems to be yet another one they keep casting and casting and casting until he finally fails enough times to make them stop. He's getting close to that line. He was actually there already but the horrid "Neighbors" movie kept his career alive because it made money.

Come, come, Robert DeNiro was the existential darling of film classes at way out colleges for decades. The New Yorker and other condescendingly sophisticated publications worshipped him. Give him credit, "1900" showed him graphically whacking off with Gerard Depardieu. I have seen "Grandpa" yet, but if it shows bare college guys on spring break, it's well worth the price. Be glad it's not another "Birdman."
