If nothing else, Grandma's Boy answers the question of what a ramshackle early Adam Sandler movie would be like without Adam Sandler.

Grandma's Boy
Overview
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.

Hilarity fails to ensue in the workplace or at home, in spite of the late introduction of a fighting, driving monkey.
Nathan Rabin, AV Club

[The film] does a very thorough job of reducing every recognizable member of the cast to probable career lows.
Gregory Kirschling, Entertainment Weekly

Ronnie Scheib, Variety
Rotten
Grandma's Boy is an Adam Sandler comedy without Adam Sandler, which is kind of like getting a root canal without the dentist.
Peter Hartlaub, San Francisco Chronicle
