\"new1. Dirty Grandpa (Lionsgate, 2,912 Theaters, 102 Minutes, Rated R for crude sexual content throughout, graphic nudity, and for language and drug use, No Tomatometer Score<\/a> [Only three negative reviews recorded at press time]):\u00a0<\/strong>Oh, Robert DeNiro, what happened to you? I know that Hollywood isn’t lining up to give roles deserving of you talent any more, and unlike Clint Eastwood and Robert Redford, you have only dallied with the director’s chair. Sure, you have a role in just about any film David O. Russell does, but your careers is now filled with direct to Blu=ray films with the occasional underwhelming theatrical release thrown in.<\/p>\n

But, really, is it that bad? Did you have to take this role, as a foul-mouth grandfather who takes his grandson (Zac Efron) down to spring break pretty much against his will? Has it really come to this?<\/p>\n

The fact that he’s starring in a second-rate Bad Grandpa <\/strong>is, no pun intended, bad enough. But the fact that this film is so bad it didn’t get screened for critics? Well, maybe we should start mourning for Robert DeNiro’s career.<\/p>\n
