Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa Ratings & Reviews
Mister Arn
May 19, 2025
I found myself laughing very hard several times. However, the plot, the acting, and the script are not very good.
Grantland
Wesley Morris
The wrongs pile up, and there's a clear object of satire. That feels new for the Jackass experience: a target that isn't a crotch. I'd like to see Irv try to strike again with braver gags.
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
Onlookers occasionally glance into the camera, a pretty good sign that people are hip to these prankster movies now and just play along.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
Some of the jokes are flat-out hilarious, but most are overworked or tepid.
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
It's not really a movie. It's Johnny Knoxville and his Jackass crew faking out real people into believing he's 86-year-old Irving Zisman, an old fart bag traveling cross-country.
Slate
Dan Kois
What impressed me again and again is how unflappably polite Americans can be.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Bilge Ebiri
For all its flaws, it might just be the most heartwarming movie of the year.
RogerEbert.com
Odie Henderson
Knoxville immerses himself in the role, radiating affection and concern for his charge. He's completely convincing, even during the most bizarre moments in "Bad Grandpa."
Entertainment Weekly
Owen Gleiberman
You'll occasionally laugh out loud, but the heart of the movie is safe enough to chuckle at.
Slant Magazine
R. Kurt Osenlund
A choppy, feature-length progression of crude, predictable gags, the film plays like a variety show, and yet its main attraction is barely funny enough to warrant his own brief sketch.
Los Angeles Times
Betsy Sharkey
The film has a story complete with a beginning, middle and end. It has some acting and emotion. And most shocking of all - it has empathy.
New York Times
Neil Genzlinger
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.
New York Post
Kyle Smith
This whole movie is pretty much a mental colon blow.
USA Today
Scott Bowles
Not only stands as the best installment (by bounds) of Johnny Knoxville's hidden-camera franchise; it's one of the sharpest comedies of the year.
Boston Globe
Peter Keough
Though at times it grows predictable and more inane than outrageous, "Bad Grandpa" gets more than its share of cheap laughs.
San Francisco Chronicle
Peter Hartlaub
Some of the pranks are masterfully executed; the beauty pageant and a disastrous funeral near the beginning stand out. But on the whole, "Bad Grandpa" can't locate a consistent groove.
Washington Post
Michael O'Sullivan
Although we're allowed the perverse pleasure of watching Irving commit one inappropriate act after another, our sense of horror/delight dissipates after each one.
New York Daily News
Elizabeth Weitzman
Knoxville and the perfectly cast Nicoll have great chemistry throughout. But longtime "Jackass" director Jeff Tremaine consistently cuts away too quickly, undermining each joke in order to rush on to the next.
The Dissolve
Matt Singer
Bad Grandpa is less a feature than a filmed investigation into the effect of dick jokes on the human psyche, like a Milgram experiment where the shocks are real, and Milgram himself is receiving them.
L.A. Weekly
Amy Nicholson
The joke is really on Knoxville, who, despite flinging himself through a glass wall and rigging up a fake poo-sprayer in his pants, gets fewer laughs than his boy sidekick
