"What are acclaimed veteran actresses Doris Roberts, Shirley Jones and Shirley Knight doing in a movie like Grandma's Boy? They deserve better."
ReelTalk Movie Reviews
Betty Jo Tucker
D+
"As a short it could have emerged as inspired, but as a feature it feels tired, deflated, and far too familiar."

Bill Clark
C+
"If he's schooling punks on Dance Dance Revolution or making out with Shirley Jones, Nick Swardson steals every scene he's in, giving the material a distinctive twist through unexpected line delivery and crack comic timing."

Brian Orndorf
1/5
"Covert is so obnoxious, so lacking in the basic understanding of comic timing, that we understand why he has to get his buddy Sandler to give him work."

David Cornelius
1/4
"...one puerile, thoroughly unfunny joke after another..."
Reel Film Reviews
David Nusair
2/4
"Earns a few very big laughs along the way, but it is all in the service of an overall empty package."

C
"I'd call this defiance of basic movie conventions 'experimental' if I didn't know it was actually due to sheer incompetence."

F
"There is no movie. There is only the fact that Adam Sandler has cronies, and Adam Sandler gets what he wants."
Film Blather
Eugene Novikov
F
"A brain-dead piece of slacker swill, worse than the worst Sandler, Schneider or Spade movie ever made."
One Guy's Opinion
Frank Swietek
0.5/4
"This is one of those movies where you stay rooted in your seat just to see how bad it can really get. And every time you think it has hit the bottom, the filmmakers find a passage taking them lower."
ReelViews
James Berardinelli
3.5/5
"There is no doubt that it belongs in Hollywood's sewer, but it's the gem of the sewer this year."
7M Pictures
Kevin Carr
F
"
Grandma's Boy
is what would result if Adam Sandler and his high profile co-stars bailed on a movie and the understudies took over."
Reel Times: Reflections on Cinema
Mark Pfeiffer
2/5
"One of the most humorless attempts at comedy since the invention of Rob Schneider."
Film Threat
Michael Ferraro
C
"The film's [directorial] crudity is ultimately an unbearable drag on its joviality."
Lessons of Darkness
Nick Schager
1.5/4
"Goossen misuses recognizable names for dubious cameos and pushes eccentric side characters to uncomfortable parody."
Slant Magazine
Paul Schrodt
1/5
"
Grandma’s Boy
is so bad that Sandler couldn’t even be bothered to make his usual cameo appearance this time around."
eFilmCritic.com
Peter Sobczynski
1/5
"I won't even bore you with the horrendous way this project was shot, cut, or scrawled with crayon onto a roll of toilet paper. This thing makes the
Police Academy
movies look like the collected works of Billy Wilder."
eFilmCritic.com
Scott Weinberg
2.5/4
"better than some sandler movies"
