p-p-push it! mm, hot karaoke

Grandma's Boy, with Linda Cardellini (not the gal from Veronica Mars, as it turns out) and Allen Covert (not Mel Gibson, as we really actually almost thought at a few moments). Though it started out having me wondering whether the movie really was going to seem as oddly vapid as the beginning seemed to be, it really caught its own momentum and became just plain funny. Slash, gross. After noting that Adam Sandler was the executive producer, I noted a few similar tropes to Happy Gilmore - sleeping with a (much, much) older woman, hot woman acting as consultant of sorts and becoming love interest, arrogant and socially inept antagonist, and positive and healthy relationship with a grandmother. Interesting take on similar things, I actually kind of liked this one more in a lot of ways, even if only because of the cast of characters that I actually got a little attached to by the end of the movie.

Linda Cardellini was Thelma from Scooby doo / the guilty chick in the first Legally Blonde / some nurse on E.R. YAY, fun with IMDB!
