AMAZING comedy for the non-religious, and those who are not easily offended

I love DeNiro, too, and I thought he was exceptional in this movie.
He went the extra mile to really step out of his element and make this character hysterical.
I think people are far too uptight to step out of the box of Will Farrell or Seth Rogan comedy these days. This type of comedy pushes the limit and steps over it. It's UNSAFE, which is exactly why it's exceptional. Comedy isn't meant to be politically correct, it's meant to be edgy.

I would rank this movie right up there with Freddy Got Fingered, Orgazmo, and That's My Boy. A rare, politically incorrect exception to the status-quo.

I'm a born again Christian and I thought it was hilarious. Your stereotyping is offensive.

Uh I'm Catholic and I very much enjoyed it. I will agree though that maybe it wasn't as popular because people are so easily OFFENDED these days

Comedy isn't meant to be politically correct, it's meant to be edgy.

The problem is, some movies clearly try way too hard to be "edgy" and politically incorrect to the point where it's just not funny. For me, this was one of those cases.

I hated it and it has nothing to do with getting easily offended. I don't get offended easily and I enjoy offensive, inappropriate, politically incorrect stuff. As an example, Borat is one of my favorite movies. The problem with Dirty Grandpa is that it is very poorly written. And it's not a big secret that when a comedy is badly written, it's gonna suck.
