Audience Member This comedic spoof is a farce along the lines of an American Zucker Brothers movie. Featuring "Oba-chan" from the variety show Gaki no Tsukai and the yearly batsu games, this movie i s a parody of Chinese and Japanese movie and TV tropes. It is best appreciated by those with familiarity of Asian television and cinema. Highly recommended for that specific cultural humor you just cannot find in domestic movies. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Having bad camera work and being low budget, this film tries to go over what it can actually achieve which what makes it something not worth watching! Just because a film is low budget, doesn't mean it'll be bad, there are many directors who make low budget films good with actually making them creative, but the Terauchi's didn't achieve such a feat. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member I try to avoid watching this because the title and the cover is just too much to handle. I was so bored today I tried to see if it's any good... yup, I knew this is just not right. The story is serious but I can't really watch this... too phunny! Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member I can't take this seriously. The drawings of a 60 year old in various explicit sexual poses is just creepy! Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Entertaining and funny film. wish it were longer Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Shaolin Grandma has the personality of a brick wall.
