DIRTY GRANDPA – A stuffy young corporate lawyer is on the fast track to a partnership at his firm but his rowdy grandfather shows up, harming his career advancement chances. Soon, the youngster (Zac Efron), and his grandpa (Robert De Niro), start smoking crack, partying with young women and getting in bar fights. Eventually, Efron’s character has to choose between the calm of the corporate world or the wild fun of party life.

Still, she needs the money and accommodation that comes with the job, so she plays along.
