DIRTY GRANDPA follows a recent widower (Robert De Niro) who convinces his straitlaced lawyer grandson (Zac Efron) to accompany him on a road trip to Florida. It’s a tradition he shared with his dearly departed — going on this very trip every year — and he’s not going to let something as little as her death stop him from having a good time.
From there, the story sees the duo getting into all sorts of debauchery, including but not limited to drinking, drugging and partying themselves crazy.
Fresh Fiction had the opportunity to speak with one of the film’s stars, Adam Pally (HAPPY ENDINGS, THE MINDY PROJECT), who plays the family’s Cousin Nick. We talked about being out of our comfort zone, reference-filled comedies, and we even got a few impressions of De Niro.
DIRTY GRANDPA opens tomorrow.
