'Bad Grandpa' follows the same movie-making format of 'Borat'. That is, a comedian playing a fictitious character and pulling pranks on unsuspecting real life bystanders, all based around a loose plot. Like 'Borat', the antics reach surprising hysterical levels. There's a fun-loving crassness to the jokes. They are crazy over-the-top, but never feel too gross. I'd be lying if I said I didn't laugh hard throughout most of it. The situations are funny to begin with. Add the physical and improvisational talents of Knoxville and young Jackson, and the comedy reaches greater heights. The 'Jackass' crew have outdone themselves this time. I got more than my fair share of laughter.
