Dirty Grandpa

Anomalisa is playing at the Cable Car right now, and if critical acclaim excites you then that’s hands down the movie you should go see this week. But the trailer kind of creeped me out, mostly because the animated characters’ eyes look completely terrifying. So go see Dirty Grandpa instead. It’s supposed to be incredibly bad! But Zac Efron has stretched his inoffensively bland heartthrob schtick into a second decade, and that’s cause for celebration, or something. I’ve never really liked DeNiro, but it’s nice to see that Betty White doesn’t have a complete monopoly on potty-mouthed senior citizen jokes.
