I did check - 41 reviews cited, and "Dirty Grandpa" is at a whopping 5%!

I don't remember Robert De Niro being the problem with that one, but I hardly remember it at all. He may have actually played "Man Collecting A Paycheck" for all I know. So I'm going to watch it again soon, to see if I can agree with your opinion.

Tonight, I promise! I just grabbed it off the shelf and put it next to the TV. My full report within 24 hours!Colin Jacobson said:Did you ever watch "Showtime" again?
Does anyone know if the BD will be in 7.1?Reggie W said:I think when they go to release this steaming turd for home viewing they should use these quotes on the box!

Okay, I just watched it for the first time since 2002. It's a weak effort, very badly directed, and poorly conceived. However, I still enjoyed watching it; no smart phones, no CGI, no fast cutting and whip panning in the action scenes, Rene Russo was fun, and William Shatner (as himself) was amusing. It's a fairly forgettable artifact from a different era (it's from "An AOL-Time Warner Company"), but Robert De Niro was more hung out to dry in it than he was sleepwalking through it, in my opinion. He doesn't condescend to the material, and plays it straight. Also, Drena De Niro, one of his step kids, had a minor role in it. Would he have let a family member see him doing less than his best on set (not a serious question)? Anyhow, I'm unlikely to rewatch "Showtime" any time soon, but if somebody came over and wanted to see it, I could sit through it again. A ringing endorsement, right?Colin Jacobson said:Did you ever watch "Showtime" again?
Ha, yes, Bananarama! Guess I haven't seen Raging Bull in a long time. Thought there was a scene involving, well, you know, "Robert De Niro wanking?"Colin Jacobson said:I have no memory of that at all! I looked at the "Parents Guide" on IMDB and there's no mention of that kind of scene.
I think they should have done this in 3-D because I mean it is one thing to see Robert De Niro wanking, or sticking his thumb up Zac Efron's ass, or punching Zac in the balls but imagine getting to experience these wonders in 3-D!PMF said:Does anyone know if the BD will be in 7.1?
