- Mark Kermode reviews Dirty Grandpa. Uptight lawyer Jason Kelly is tricked by his grandfather - a retired soldier and recent widow - to drive him to Florida for spring break. While his grandpa gets involved in more and more outrageous behaviour, Jason tries to keep on the straight and narrow ahead of his upcoming wedding.

god this film has broken mark. Simon looks like a therapist and Mark looks like the patient
Poor Mark just sounds so disappointed, he can't even bring himself to be angry.
Ranting on it just isn't worth his breath.
De Niro has fallen a long way since the heights of Meet the Little Fockers, New Years Eve and Grudge Match
Yeh, or some of his GOOD films
@@FelonyBellend Like Raging Bull, GoodFellas etc.
When Steven spielberg made a cameo on the simpsons,, he was introduced on to stage by homer,, who says''please give a huge Springfield welcome to the man who gave the world',1941,amistrad,and sugarland express,,
those are his worst films. Compare those to the movies he did in the 70s and 80s.
@@KydzPlays It's a joke. Obviously he's not being serious.
Wow... I clicked on this because I was convinced I was gonna get a classic Mark Kermode Rant. But he's not even angry or even disappointed... he sounds just depressed. Like the movie emotionally hurt him. I don't think I've ever seen a movie do that to him.
Man. Simon tried to spark him up at the end by dropping "Entourage" and Mark just couldn't get there with him. Kermode seems utterly broken by watching this movie. I'm kind of sad he had to see it for us.
'This isn't just letting you down. This is somebody sticking their chin out and challenging you to have any vestigial respect for them.' - I think this might be my favourite Mark line ever.
he looks like a veteran telling stories about his troop in Vietnam
Today, Mark is a defeated man.
That line about 'if someone repeated these jokes at a party, you'd throw them out' was brilliant. I know it pains him, but I always get most pleasure from Dr K reviewing bad movies.
I had to stop Dirty Grandpa to listen to go for a walk and listen to soothing music. It's like Robert De Niro reading a transcript of what thirteen year olds shout at each other during call of duty.
"Somewhere in hell, there is a multiplex playing this on a double bill with Movie 43 and and Entourage".
Perfection.
I like Mark, I find him quite fair. He judges films on their merits and keeps his mind open. He doesn't have an agenda, and you can see that he tries desperately to remain objective and to rate films based on their merits, rather than a dislike of a particular actor/director/writer/subject matter etc...
He acknowledges his own failings and even in films he is not keen on, he looks for the positives. He also acknowledges what I have long believed; that films are not just 'films', they can have a very strong cultural impact, and one that Hollywood does not take seriously enough.
I see him as a really good judge of films, and as a critic that is willing to challenge himself and question himself. Unlike most other critics, I trust his opinion.
Lmfaoooo, kermode looks genuinely shell shocked by the awfulness of this film
that's the part of the review that's most striking. he seems to be getting nauseous just talking about it. you can see he almost takes it personally, and that's because de niro is in it.
“Is it worse than Entourage?” OMG THE SUSPENSE XD
De Niro never seems to turn anything down. Surely he's got enough money to not have to work again or at least be able to choose his projects carefully.
+Mr Ed You say that, but even in Joy, a film with award nominations, he gives the worst performance of the whole ensemble. He just doesn't care anymore.
+Rhys Llwyd I've not seen Joy because I was disappointed with American Hustle (by the same director) but Kermode praised De Niro's performance! Not that I think he's always right but you are definitely right by saying he doesn't care anymore.
+Mr Ed maybe he is a spendaholic like Nick Cage Rage
I said to my 14 year old son that he must owe the taxman a bundle of cash. How else can you explain why probably the most respected actor of his generation has sunk to this. It truly is very sad.
I think Michael Caine did that from the late 70's and through the 80's (Dirty Rotten Scoundrels & Educating Rita apart), but he's been in some decent stuff in the last 10 years, albeit nearly all of them in a small supporting role)
"Heavy metal can be wonderful," - with those words I started liking him more.
me too
Remember when De Niro was once hailed as a cinematic genius and Stallone was a joke? Stallone's winning the awards these days whilst De Niro is doing films like this. Who'd have thought it?
Daniel Day-Lewis was once called the ‘British De Niro.’ That phrase is now a insult really. Day-Lewis picks his roles very carefully and has now retired even though he is a lot younger than De Niro. Bob seems to randomly pick roles out of a hat!
de niro has great roles, these days he just picks roles poorly. The irishman proves he is still a great actor
The famous three-movie double bill.
+JeridanCork Seems appropriate for Hell.
+JeridanCork Maybe it's some awful Frankenstein's monster hybrid of Entourage and Movie 43. D:
+Steven W Dear God No! Don't give Hollywood any ideas, that is a fate I wouldn't wish upon even my worst of enemies.
+JeridanCork hahahaa
+JeridanCork
Well it's hell isn't it? You think you're gonna be subjected to two crappy movies and then they throw in a third to finish you off.
"I want the movie not to exist."
I think we now know what will be Mark's worst film of 2016.
You were RIGHT, lol!!!
I think we exist in a parallel universe where such an iconic actor could stoop so low
He's right, it's not shocking or edgy it's just depressing and sad. If bob deniro took a dump and spend an hour and a half smiling and looking proud of it saying "I did that", it wouldn't be worse than this film.
Poor Kermode looks like his soul's just been crushed.
Heat, 20 years ago - De Niro's last great performance. Anyone agree?
+gun1987gunn He was quietly dignified and subtle in 'Silver Linings Playbook' - not a great film, but the fact he can't understand his son and kind of loves him through anger, I thought was really touching.
+OmegaRED1231 I think he was under used in Jackie Brown
+gun1987gunn Well said. 'Heat' is his last classic film.
No, he was great in Silver Linings Playbook
_Jackie Brown_. It's got to be said.
De Niro has sunk so low with all his later films, all of them are absolute rubbish. No surprise here. Mark is spot on!
It's marvelous that "Is it worse than Entourage?" is a soul crushing challenge.
Not angry, just disappointed.
Who needs king of comedy or taxi driver when he's bringing out classic performances like this?
good lord that pause and defeated sigh when Simon asked him if it was worse than entourage. that realisation that he isn't even sure if entourage is worse.
I feel so sorry for him, he looks like he's going to cry.
So you're saying this is worthy of our hard earned cash?
And to think, Robert de Niro started off his career in "Bang The Drum Slowly" & "Mean Streets". 46 years later, you can't tell that by watching "Dirty Grandpa".
Whenever I'm out of a bad film all I think is "I can't wait to hear Mark's review for this."
Dirty Grandpa warned us how bad this year would be but we didn't listen.. WE DIDN'T LISTEN!!!
De Niro punching a wall ''Why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why''
I'm already anticipating for this to be in Mark's Worst 10 Films of 2016
+Angela Chan and I wouldn't be amazed if it made it into the first top 5 list.
+Angela Chan Let's hope so, otherwise it means worse movies are going to be released and I don't want to imagine it being possible :(
I think it was actually an amazing film, so funny. Definitely up there with 2001 as one of my favourites.
I suppose Mark Kermode's hell would be watching these movies at the same through 3D glasses.
+PauLtus B While commentated by Michael Bay.
Oh Mark.. you need a hug?
This film was amazing
Poor mark, I thought he was going to cry :( worst of all, I kinda want to see it now, I'm just fascinated at what could get this reaction
I wanna give this dude a hug😭
Gives Mark a hug. It's ok Mark, it's ok the bad movie is over now.
Mark sounds like he just lost someone he loved. He actually looks like he's been broken and defeated.
"Heavy metal records can be great and wonderful"
Has De Niro got a massive IRS bill we don't know about.
That can only explain his film choices for the last 10 years.
I want to give Mark a hug after watching this review
Kermode doesn’t really explain the movie’s worst faults. It isn’t the sex stuff. It’s the film’s wretched mix of racism, antisemitism, and homophobia.
I find a good measure of how bad a review is to be how quite Mayo stays during the proceedings.
Jesus Christ. It looks like Mark is about to break down crying when talking about this movie.
In our cinema the trailer for dirty grandpa came on and due to some form of digital glitch, it played twice in a row. I think that was already more than i needed to see of this. DeNiro what happened?
Why have I only discovered this channel now? I have to play catch-up.
Dirty Grandpa had the same story line as Bad Grandpa (from 2013-- Johnny Knoxville)
All great stars make a few turds in their careers…….many years from now, this film will be long forgotten……films like Raging Bull, Taxi Driver, Goodfellas etc, won’t be.
The good Doctor embodying the phrase "I'm not angry, I'm disappointed"
Well if Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End was his shoutyest angriest most rage full rant review, Dirty Grandpa must be his most tired depressed lamentation review. Gees he is depressed.
taxi driver is one of my favorite films, what the hell happend
+Sam Pitts Scorsese needs to save him. DiCaprio has become his new muse.
+AvatarTwasCheesy They are supposed to be making The Irishman with Al Pacino & Joe Pesci but I'm doubtful it will happen due to the amount of in the works projects Scorcese has going
Hes getting older. De Niro dominated for 3 decades, he gets a pass for life.
+jasrust Silver Linings Playbook from 2012 was a strong movie for De Niro
Oh god, Mark genuinely sounds like he's going to break down and cry an ocean, that must have been excruciating, poor guy :(.
'I know he's got bills to pay, and I know he's got projects to finance ' lol
I really want to see this film now, just out of morbid curiosity.
I think I've just witnessed a mental breakdown. At least TV has never done anything this bad...
Ahhh Once De Nero was a warrior.
I was really looking forward to Mark's review of this; was expecting a legendary rant, but this just made me feel depressed. Poor Mark.
dirty grandpa is my nr.1 favorite movie of all time.
I was very happy when I saw this would be 7 minutes
DeNiro in search of a paycheck
Mark's sigh after Mayo's Entourage question hahahaha
I think that's the sound of Zack and Mark breaking up
Whenever I want to laugh a bit I watch this review. It is one the best reviews I have ever watched! I makes me laugh sooooo much! Brilliant!
3:43 a colleague comes in with Mark's prescription for anti-depressants....
🤣🤣
Righteo, I'm going to see it at the IMAX. Mark, though, can we put that down as five stars?
DeNiro has DeNiroed his career.
DeNiro= to sabotage one's own career and repuation.
the Phrase 'its not that im angry im just disappointed' springs to mind ehh Mark
Neighbors was Efron's "subvert High School Music" movie, and he was pretty good in it.
Why would you show the whole video then cut out the bit where Mark says whether he likes it or not?
Jesus, what a closing line...
I loved Dirty Grandpa and i'll continue watching it 😂
this is more impressive than a full Kermode rant.
I wanna give him a hug.
He's on the verge of tears
"But is it worse than Entourge?"
*Heavy sigh*
That review just broke my heart. Poor Mark!
It is indeed a sad day for comedy, and a sad day for cinema.
Goodbye, good Robert De Niro movies, you will be missed. :(
Kermode is a fantastic reviewer. Him and Jahns are the only reviewers worth listening too.
I loved this film. De Niro is so funny.
what happened to robert de niros agent?
Dirty Grandpa sort of reminded me of Mary Poppins if it had been Directed by Douglas Trumbull.
Well done Mark. Good work.
+Ben George He calls it 'Bad Grandpa' at 5:10, which is an insult to the Jackass movie 'Bad Grandpa'.
6:30 Simon is like 'let it all out Mark'
I genuinely feel like bathing in bleach or something after watching this movie. Just about the most disgusting, crude piece of garbage I have been subjected to since Movie 43
relaxing in a gentlemans way.
Come back Rocky and Bullwinkle all is forgiven
Yet not offended watching Last House on the Left. The mind boggles.
I can't believe Robert De Niro broke Mark
WOW!!! This film sounds AWESOME! I will be heading out to see it right away. Thanks for this astonishing review. Cheers!
A friend recommended this movie to me, I still hate her till this day😞
Mark looks like he needs a hug in this video.
5:10 He accidentally called it Bad Grandpa. Bad Grandpa is the one with Johnny Knoxville.
Someone needs to introduce zack efron to shirts.
I am a Cineworld Unlimited member and I could easily go see this due to me not having to pay anything extra. After seeing this review, I want to stay clear from it.
I wish the listeners writing in with their reviews would cease using such pretentious sentence structure and words and say it as it is. JUST LIKE MARK DOES! Mark thinks the film is horrible, he'll say it's horrible. He uses everyday words and that's why I like his reviews. The listeners' reviews all sound the same, no matter the film or the writer's identity! Surely I cannot be the only one to have noticed this!
Look on the bright side future filmmakers. If a movie like this and Human Centipede 3 can get financed and green lit, anything can.
Ha. The Doctor hasn't been this let down in some time. Rightly so by all accounts.
