Content to work as a video game tester at a software development company, the main character named Alex is content to live the easily life, with no immediate goals or plans for his future. He finds himself in trouble, however, when he finds that his roommate hadn't been paying their rent. With nowhere to go, Alex ends up finding shelter at his Grandmother's house, who is played by Doris Roberts of "Everybody Loves Raymond" fame. Being cooped up with grandma and her kooky roommates proves to be a sufficient struggle in Alex's life, who tries to sneak in bong hits and video gaming while trying to obey his grandma's every beck and call. One of the most hilarious characters in the film has to be Dante - Alex's pot dealer who has an appetite for the more ‘alternative' things in life, such as pet monkeys trained in karate. One unique factor that Grandma's Boy has is the fact that the comedy doesn't stop to make up for some sort of resolution towards the end of the film; if anything, the films comedic points snowball, picking up more and more as the film goes on. I found that to be a pretty unique and refreshing turn from the standard comedies that try to make some sort of dramatic ending from a film of hilarity. Grandma's Boy keeps you watching while definitely keeping you laughing. I would highly recommend it to anyone who could use a laugh. <br><br>Jonathon Hardcastle writes articles on many topics including <a href="http://loveofthearts.com/">Arts</a>, <a href="http://familyinformationsource.com/">Family</a>, and <a href="http://universeoftoys.com/">Toys</a><br> <br>Article Source: <a href="http://articles.rssorange.com">Free Articles : RSS Orange</a><br> </body> </html>
