Critics Consensus

Never quite as funny as it wants to be, Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa still offers viewers the timeless pleasures of seeing an old man get his privates stuck in a vending machine.

The wrongs pile up, and there's a clear object of satire. That feels new for the Jackass experience: a target that isn't a crotch. I'd like to see Irv try to strike again with braver gags. Go to Full Review J. R. Jones Chicago Reader 11/07/2013
Onlookers occasionally glance into the camera, a pretty good sign that people are hip to these prankster movies now and just play along. Go to Full Review Mark Kermode Observer (UK) 10/28/2013

Amidst all the chaos and naughtiness, there's an unabashed celebration of the human spirit here that left me simultaneously laughing and crying. Go to Full Review Allen Almachar The MacGuffin 07/23/2020

Tom C Jul 22 Laugh-out-loud funny. The reason it works so will is the unsuspecting bystanders to the pranks. Just ordinary people witnessing one outrageous stunt after another. See more Stephen C @bob25009 Jun 19 On Blu-Ray players, the extended version is funnier and longer!!!!!!! LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Success in 01 hour, 31 minutes and 48 seconds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See more Jun 7 Meh. I like Knoxville I really do and it had some ok parts and some heartfelt parts but the movie just wasn't very good and the pranks were super subpar. I am ok with seeing ti but would never keep in my collection. See more Mar 27 Rewatched it after forgetting about it and I believe I was to young to understand but now ts is soooo funny I was dying of laughter See more Laila O 02/05/2024 How can this movie get 60% of tomatoes?! This movie is the most hilarious thing I watched!! See more Joshua W 12/04/2023 Not a big fan of the JackAss films, but I feel this movie did a COMPLETELY BRILLIANT job of integrating the pranks into a storyline. And Jackson Nicoll is completely brilliant for pulling off those hilarious scenes without dropping character. So when a comedy is made, the point is not to produce a film of meaning. The point is to maximize the humor for hearty belly laughing. And Bad Grandpa did an ingenious job of it. This film makes my very short list of greatest pure comedies of the 21st century.
