12 Bafflingly High 2016 IMDb Scores You Will Not Believe
3. Dirty Grandpa
IMDb Rating: 6.0
Robert De Niro is a cinema icon who has given us so many legendary moments; the cafe chat in Heat, the monologue to the mirror in Taxi Driver, and the scene where he furiously masturbates to some porn while Zac Efron walks in on him in Dirty Grandpa.
Alright, that last example probably doesn’t belong on that list, since Dirty Grandpa is a film that shouldn’t be on anyone’s CV. De Niro lowers himself for a cheque once more, in a film that’s a decent contender for worst comedy of 2016. It’s an ugly, gross film that can’t even score a couple of decent gags from De Niro hamming it up.
The film was roundly beaten with sticks by critics and is considered another nail in De Niro’s legacy – that lid must be well nailed by now – but it landed a passable 6.0 on IMDb none the less. Somewhere closer to 4.0 would have made sense, but sometimes viewers just like what they like.
