Grandma's Boy
A movie that proves you're never too old to come of age.
Directed by Nicholaus Goossen
Produced by 20th Century Fox, Happy Madison Productions
A lighthearted stoner comedy about an arrested-development man-child finding unexpected warmth and growth through living with his grandmother.
Even though he's 35, Alex acts more like he's 13, spending his days as the world's oldest video game tester and his evenings developing the next big Xbox game. But when he gets kicked out of his apartment, he's forced to move in with his grandmother.
