Trivia:

When Alex comes out of Samantha's office J.P. is standing facing the wall and you can see a poster that says Gay Robot (2006) (TV), a TV-series written by Nick Swardson (Jeff) and a character from a sketch of the same name from Adam Sandler's 2004 comedy album "Shh... Don't Tell". There is also a small poster for "Gay Robot" on the shelf behind the desk in Mr. Cheezel's office.

Goofs:

Continuity: When Alex originally flips the tray of food after removing it from the oven, he spills the food all over the oven door. The camera pans out to him in pain and goes back to the oven and the oven door is spotless.

Quotes:

Jeff: I have a bush too, but its not grey.

Surprisingly funny

If you go into this movie expecting a sophisticated plot, dramatic characters, or heartfelt moments, you will be very, very disappointed. On the other hand, if you don't care whether a movie has a plot, as long as it's funny, Grandma's Boy will definitely satisfy. With plenty of stupid and silly moments (the Lara Croft scene is hilarious) and one-liners, most fans of "stupid humor" will enjoy themselves. If you're an uptight, stick-up-the-butt type, you will likely curse the day you saw it. Stay home and eat Cheetos if you take dumb comedies that seriously.

No, it's not perfect. The "robot" kid is freaking annoying, and some of the gross stuff feels forced. But ah...what are you gonna do? Better than watching another painful romantic comedy, right?
