Synopsis

86 year-old Irving Zisman is on a journey across America with the most unlikely companion, his 8 year-old Grandson Billy in "Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa.” This October, the signature Jackass character Irving Zisman (Johnny Knoxville) and Billy (Jackson Nicoll) will take movie audiences along for the most insane hidden camera road trip ever captured on camera. Along the way Irving will introduce the young and impressionable Billy to people, places and situations that give new meaning to the term child-rearing. The duo will encounter male strippers, disgruntled child beauty pageant contestants (and their equally disgruntled mothers), funeral home mourners, biker bar patrons and a whole lot of unsuspecting citizens. Real people in unreal situations, making for one really messed up comedy.

Critics' reviews

"Even at its low ebb, the movie effuses an infectious, mischief-making joy."

Scott Foundas: Variety
"Some of these gags are hilarious."

John DeFore: The Hollywood Reporter
"It’s hard to score big laughs with hidden-camera material these days because there has been so much of it since the 'Jackass' TV show, but Mr. Knoxville and his young sidekick still land a few jaw-droppers."

Neil Genzlinger: The New York Times
"Is Knoxville going soft on us? Nah. 'Bad Grandpa' is still the f^^^ed-up family movie of choice, especially if your family has done jail time. (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of four)"

Peter Travers: Rolling Stone
"True to the Jackass formula, some gags come off better than others, but there's some doozies in its midst. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of five)"

Simon Crook: Empire
"Johnny Knoxville revives his old man character, Irving Zisman, for another crude and audacious comedy that’s actually quite funny."

Katherine McLaughlin: View London
