Robert De Niro reprises the familiar character from Meet the Parents as the irascible older man to the younger Zac Efron, who plays his grandson - a corporate lawyer. "I do securities registration, LLC agreement..." is a good running joke. When Grandma dies, Grandpa wants to do one thing he said he has not done in 15 years, so he tricks his grandson into driving him to Daytona Beach.
The movie winds up as a Tommy Boy road trip between 2 misfits, one determined to get laid, the other determined to stop him from the same thing.
A good supporting cast makes it watchable: Julianne Hough, Aubrey Plaza. It'd probably better a better movie with more of those 2 in it.
