20 Worst Movies Of 2016 (So Far)

3. Dirty Grandpa

Worst Fims Of 2016

If there's one thing you can say positively about Al Pacino these days, it's that he's at least being a bit more subtle about his decline than Robert De Niro. The former is scuttling through pay-checks looking uninterested, but DeNiro seems to think making garbage like Grudge Match and Dirty Grandpa are befitting someone of his status.

That he does so while still acting brilliantly in the likes of Joy, and booking into great upcoming projects like Hands Of Stone and The Comedian is just more frustrating.

It's not funny, it's dishonest in its agenda, its a little mean-spirited and worst of all, it made almost $100m so someone will no doubt float the idea of a sequel soon. And by then it won't even matter that this is legitimately the worst film Robert De Niro has ever made, because they'll cry and outdo the grubby comedy by forcing him even further down into the sewer.
