Blu-ray Release: Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa
Today, Paramount is releasing Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa on Blu-ray & DVD. When the 86-year-old Irving Zisman (Johnny Knoxville) finds himself caring for his 8-year-old grandson Billy (Jackson Nicoll), the two take a road trip together, bonding and causing all sorts of mischief along the way.
Receiving an Oscar nomination for Best Makeup and Hairstyling, Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa opened in theatres on October 25th and did quite well at the box office. Although the jokes are often stupid and the plot feels scattershot, the soundtrack is surprisingly good and there are some admittedly amusing scenes throughout this frequently crude comedy, and fans of the Jackass brand of humour are sure to get their fair share of laughs.
The Blu-ray includes deleted scenes, alternate takes and “behind the scenes” footage.
Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa is 91 minutes and rated 14A. The unrated version runs for 102 minutes.
