DVD Tip- Grandma's Boy

Friday, July 14, 2006 3:17:37 AM

Must say I saw one of the funniest movies in a long time last night. A total sleeper. It's called "Grandma's Boy".

This one is directed by Nicholaus Goossen and stars Allen Covert (he was Adam Sandler's mullet wielding, parachute pants wearing sidekick in Wedding Singer). Also, a GREAT job by Joel Moore who plays J.P. in the film. He basically steals the show as the eccentric rockstar game developer.

check out the trailer here.

I think anyone who has worked for a software development company or enjoys gaming will get a kick out of this film. The unrated version is a bit rough around the edges (ala There's Something About Mary)but overall it's a hugely enjoyable geek fest of a film where you can give most of your brain cells the night off.

Put this one on your must-see list.
4 out of 5 stars ****

It's Monday and I am in Oslo!mac developer for a day

      I was out in San Diego a while back for Qualcomm’s annual BREW confab. It’s pretty easy to think of Qualcomm as this monolithic and slightly nasty company that does little more than bully its way to profits with patents and intellectual property and some chips, and is only interested ...

    • When Will The Mobile Web Be Mass Market?

      My good friend Tarek Abu-Esber wondered earlier this week when the mobile web will hit mass adoption, and more specifically, what would define that: While I might not go as far as using the term “critical-mass” I definitely agree with the overall idea of their report. The traditiona ...
