      Alex: Anyway, I was wondering if maybe I could crash here for a while.

      Dante: Whoa, I don't know, man. I got a business to run. This is like my office as well as my home. Plus, the lion comes in a couple days.

      Alex: You're getting a lion?

      Dante: Yeah.

      Alex: Why?

      Dante: To protect my shit.

      Alex: Never heard of a dog?

      Dante: Dude, you can get past a dog. Nobody fucks with a lion.

      Alex: Yeah, that's true.

    This film would have sucked had Sandler been in it

    One of the funniest movies beginning to end that I've seen in a very very long time. Allen Covert did a REMARKABLE job writing this film, and It's easy to see where Sandler really gets his material from. Nick Swardson (Terry the gay male prostitute from Reno 911) was absolutely hilarious. Linda Cardellini (ER) was great too... I don't know how many women in the gaming industry are as cute as she is - but - it was great to see her in something as funny as Grandma's Boy after seeing her every week on ER for the last couple years. Having exposure to gamers - a couple of whom are testers, I don't think this flick could have been *much* more accurate. Overall - I LOVED this movie. Start to finish it just got progressively funnier. GOOD JOB MR. COVERT!
