''Grandma's Boy'' (2006) is an American comedy film produced by Creator/AdamSandler's production company Happy Madison in 2006. The film stars Allen Covert, who also co-wrote and co-produced, Nick Swardson, [[EverybodyLovesRaymond Doris Roberts]] and Linda Cardellini.
When his landlord kicks him out after his roommate blows the rent money on Filipino hookers, 35-year-old video game tester Alex has to find a new place to live. After trying unsuccessfully to crash at his dealer's place and a colleague's house, Alex moves in with his grandmother and her two roommates. In order to save face with his co-workers, Alex claims to be living with "three hot babes" but things get complicated when he falls for the beautiful Samantha - and discovers a romantic rival in J.P., the creator of the video game they are all working on.
While almost universally panned by critics, the movie did become a cult classic, earning almost six times its production costs in DVD sales (the movie was made for $5.5 million and made $30 million of it back).
----
!! This movie contains examples of:
* TheAllegedCar: Reportedly, Alex's POS hatchback was bought at a late stage of the production, when money was running low.
* BrickJoke: Josh shows up at Alex's grandmothers party with some of Madam Camae's "massage therapists" (see InsistentTerminology).
* CloudCuckooLander: J.P. and Alex's boss.
* ADateWithRosiePalms: Alex can no longer stay at Jeff's house after [[CrowningMomentOfFunny one of these goes ''very'' wrong.]]
-->'''Jeff:''' I can't believe you ''came'' on my ''mom''.
* TheDanza: Peter Dante, who plays Dante
* DevelopmentGag: The film was originally going to be called "Nana's Boy", which is referenced at the party.
-->'''Samantha''': Aw, what's the matter, Nana's boy? Can't hang?
* EverythingsBetterWithMonkeys: Monkeys that know karate, to boot.
* HollywoodGameDesign: It flirts with this in J.P. and Alex both essentially creating games on their own, but ultimately comes out largely realistic.
* InsistentTerminology:
** JP corrects Kane when he forgets to add the "3" to "Eternal Deathslayer 3".
** Jeff doesn't live with his parents, he lives with his ''roommates''.
* InsufferableGenius: J.P. is a brilliant programmer, but he is so arrogant and condescending that all of his coworkers despise him.
* IronicEchoCut: When Bobby challenges Jeff to a game of VideoGame/DanceDanceRevolution.
-->'''Jeff:''' That's great, Bobby, but we don't have VideoGame/DanceDanceRevolution so... you're dumb.

* {{Manchild}}: Played most noticeably with Jeff, who still lives with his parents, sleeps in a onesie with stuffed animals and whose bed is a car.
-->'''Jeff:''' Yeah, but it's a fuckin' ''sweet'' car.
* MushroomSamba: When Alex's grandmother and friends run out of tea, they look for more tea inside a jar in Alex's room. The same jar where Alex hides his weed. [[HilarityEnsues Hilarity]] (and a massive party) [[HilarityEnsues ensues]].
* NerdsAreVirgins: Implied rather strongly, since the massive party in the middle of the movie is when Jeff loses his virginity and Barry gets to second base for the first time...for 13 hours straight.
* NeverTrustATrailer: This movie was marketed in the trailer as being about a slacker who lived with his grandma and smokes weed with his stoner friend and pet monkey. Hilarious antics of the trio would presumably ensue.
** The actual story involves a slacker who lived with this grandma and smokes weed with his stoner friend and pet monkey when he's not dealing with the hilarious antics of the video game company.
* NoPlansNoPrototypeNoBackup: When the disc for the game Alex is working on is stolen, he considers the entire game to be stolen. Apparently he directly works on the game while it's in a disk somehow.
* PacManFever: Mostly averted, but still refers to numbered levels even when discussing fighting games and [=RPGs=], two genres which seldom if ever feature numbered levels.
* PoorMansPorn: Alex uses a [[Franchise/TombRaider Lara Croft]] action figure as visual stimulation while staying over at his friend's house due to not having access to anything better.
* ProductPlacement / Vapourware: Alex's game, "Demonik", was an actual game in development for the [=XBox360=] until its publisher, Majesco, got into financial trouble and the game was canceled.
