Can the world's oldest adolescent maintain his cool while living with his grandmother?
Alex (
Allen Covert) is a 35-year-old video-game fanatic who gave up a career in accounting to take a job testing games for Brainasium, the company behind the wildly popular game "Eternal Death Slayer." While
Alex took a big pay cut to land his dream job, he's happy with his work and is making ends meet -- until he discovers that his roommate hasn't paid the rent for the last six months, using the money to finance repeated visits to a local massage parlor. After running out of friends who will let him sleep on their couch,
Alex swallows his pride and moves in with his grandma
Lily (
Doris Roberts), who loves
Alex and is happy to give him a place to stay in exchange for doing chores around the house.
Lily shares her home with two friends, perpetually confused
Bea (
Shirley Knight) and sexually adventurous
Grace (
Shirley Jones), and between the three of them, there's always work to be done, keeping
Alex busy nearly every night. While
Alex tells his co-workers he's living with three attractive women who are running him ragged, they don't know the real story; in the meantime,
Alex is trying to charm Brainasium's beautiful new executive,
Samantha (
Linda Cardellini), while butting heads with the firm's space-case CEO
Cheezle (
Kevin Nealon) and
J.P. (
Joel David Moore), a teenage game designer who is no longer in touch with reality.
Grandma's Boy was the first feature film from director
Nicholaus Goossen.
