When I sat down to watch the 2017 comedy "Bad Grandmas", I must admit that I had hoped for a bit more comedy than what the movie turned out to be. But this movie was a dried up well in terms of comedy.
The storyline was adequate enough, albeit it wasn't a storyline that had much of any particular appeal to me. And as such, I found myself sitting with my phone in hand and checking up on Facebook, as my interest in the movie, the storyline and the characters was fast ebbing away and dwindling into nothingness.
Initially seeing Pam Grier and Judge Reinhold on the cast list sparked a hope of this actually could turning out to be interesting. But that was just not something that found a hold, and the movie ended up being a boring and mundane piece of comedy entertainment.
Very little of any interest took place throughout the course of the movie, and some of the scenes were actually performed with such performances that made me cringe, as it was so uncomfortable to watch that it made it to the final cut. And the majority of the characters were essentially flat as cardboard cut outs and had little to no personality or traits to offer to the movie, which meant that you didn't really invest any interest in the characters.
If you like comedies with laughs and to make you feel good, then you might want to give "Bad Grandmas" a wide berth.
I am rating "Bad Grandmas" a score of three out of ten stars.
