Can you think of a worse film that DeNiro could have possibly done other than this. This is his Jack and Jill

And if you're interested, a review of this movie right here- https://youtu.be/avsnRtTvXcQ

I defended Jack and Jill and thought it was pretty funny, but not so with Dirty Grandpa, and even walked out midway. That's the first movie I've walked out of in many years.

Overall bad movie? Showtime.
Movie with a bad De Niro performance? City by the Sea is one.

Dirty Grandpa is NOT Jack and Jill bad. Some may feel De Niro was wasted in this but I think he's having fun.

Showtime was better than Dirty Granpa. City by the Sea was much better than this. I thought both those movies were pretty good actually.

Jack and Jill was meant to line the pockets of an already super rich Sandler and his failed SNL friends.

De Niro was just bored and wanted to try something off the wall. He tried in his movie unlike Sandler.

I liked both movies.

While this doesn't look good and looks unfunny as hell, at least it probably isn't as bad as Bucky Larson: Born To Be a Star or Jack and Jill.

Jack and Jill has a higher metascore than Dirty Grandpa (23-19).

DeNiro has been playing 'DeNiro' from about 1995. He hasn't put in a great performance since Raging Bull in 1980. At least Pacino is funny in his comedies, even if they are terrible.

Are you going to tell me he didn't play a great role in Casino?

[–] Doc_Cochran 9 years ago

except pacino was just a small role in that, deniro starred in this. Its different!

Yeah but Pacino was a cameo in Jack and Jill. Doesn't count.
