Plot
Jason Kelly is a lawyer who works for his father. Jason's grandmother dies, and after the funeral, his Army veteran grandfather, Dick, asks Jason to drive him to Boca Raton, Florida. Jason is getting married to his controlling fiancée, Meredith, in one week, but decides to take his grandfather anyway.

On the way there, the two meet Jason's old photography classmate, Shadia, along with her friends Lenore and Bradley. Dick and Lenore are instantly attracted to each other. Dick tells the girls that he is a professor and that Jason is a photographer. They all go their separate ways, but Dick convinces Jason that they should meet the girls at Daytona Beach, Florida because Dick wants to have sex with Lenore. The two go to a golf course, where Dick flirts with two women.

At Daytona Beach, they meet up with the girls and the girls' friends, Cody, and Brah, with whom they compete in beer chugging. That night, a drunk Jason, wearing nothing but a Hornet fanny pack, parties and smokes crack cocaine that he gets from a drug dealer named Pam. He steals a motorcycle and wakes up the next day on the beach. During an awkward FaceTime with Meredith, a boy grabs the fanny pack and takes it off; his father suspects Jason of being a pervert and calls the police, who promptly arrest Jason. Dick bails him out, and the two visit Dick's old Army friend in a nursing home. They meet the girls again and enter a flexing contest with Cody and Brah; when they lose, Dick alters a T-shirt cannon to fire a beer can at the winning duo, hospitalizing them and stay at their place. After Dick reveals to Jason that he was a member of the Special Forces, the two go to a nightclub with the girls. Dick gets into a fight with some men after they bully Bradley for his homosexuality. The next day, Jason goes to a protest with Shadia and she tells him that she is leaving soon and going to live on a ship for a year.

That night, Jason plans on telling Shadia who he really is, but before he can, Cody does an online search on him and tells Shadia that Jason is already engaged. Jason then gets caught with drugs and is thrown into jail again. The next day, Dick bails him out and tells Jason that his real reason for the trip was to convince Jason not to go through with the wedding. Jason leaves Dick and drives back home.

During his wedding rehearsal, Dick hacks into the computer system, revealing embarrassing photos of Jason during the party. Jason says that he cannot marry Meredith, who reveals that she had an affair. He, Dick, and Pam use Pam's ice cream truck to catch up with the bus that Shadia is on as she is leaving. Jason and Shadia kiss and he get on the bus with her. Dick goes to his house in Boca Raton and finds Lenore there waiting for him, and they have sex. Dick and Lenore get married and have a baby, and Jason and Shadia are named the godparents.

Why It Sucks

 * 1) Both Jason and Dick are unlikable characters.
 * 2) Bad acting and performances. Even from actors like Robert de Niro (who plays Max Cady from Cape Fear, Don Vito Corleone from Godfather II, Jake LaMotta from Raging Bull, Jimmy Conway from Goodfellas, David "Noodles" Aaronson from Once Upon a Time in America, Michael from The Deer Hunter, and Travis Bickle from Taxi Driver), Zac Efron (who plays Troy Bolton from High School Musical, Link Larkin from Hairspray, Jack Jansen from The Paperboy, Dr. Charles “Jim” Carrico from Parkland, Phillip Carlyle from The Greatest Showman, and Ted Bundy from Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil And Vile), Aybrey Plaza (who plays Darius Britt from Safet Not Guaranteed, Ingrid Thorburn from Ingrid Goes West, Brandy Klark from The To Do List, Eska from The Legend of Korra, and April Ludgate from Parks and Recreation), Zoey Deutch (who plays Maya Bennet from The Suite Life on Deck, Samantha Kingston from Before I Fall, Oona O'Neill from Rebel in the Rye, Claire from The Professor, and Madison from Zombieland: Double Tap), Julianne Hough (who plays Sandy Olsson in Grease Live!, and an unnamed Hogwarts Schoolgirl in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone), and Dermot Mulroney (who plays Talget from The Grey and Richard Stoker from The Stoker''). So not only do their talents come off as wasted
 * 3) Stale, unfunny jokes that seem forced and just downright fall flat.
 * 4) The characters are portrayed as nothing but annoying, horny stereotypes.
 * 5) There's a scene where we actually see Dick masturbating (it doesn’t help that the scene is uncensored ) while watching a porno, which he calls "going #3".
 * 6) The dialogue is nothing but the foul-mouthed, offensive language and explicit-related topics. It even depicts Jason's grandfather's name in the phallic context.
 * 7) Julianne Hough has cringe-worthy singing in this film, in sharp contrast to some of her other works like Grease Live! (as shown in the wedding scene).
 * 8) Pointless romance sub-plot between Dick and Lenore that not only ends up going absolutely nowhere, but also serves as little more than pointless filler in a movie that already has little to no plot (and what little plot is actually does have is downright ridiculous).
 * 9) Disturbing sexual content. For example, there are countless scenes that show naked people onscreen, tampon jokes, and naked people dancing with a, thing, between their legs. These are not just gross, but offensive and very tasteless.
 * 10) A numerous amount of clichés.
 * 11) The film can't decide if the main focus is supposed to be either Jason or his grandfather, Dick. As the focus will constantly shift between the two throughout the film.
 * 12) Laughable premise which is just another version of the elderly guy doing gross and smutty things.

The Only Redeeming Quality

 * 1) Robert de Niro, Zac Efron, Aubrey Plaza, Zoey Deutch, Julianne Hough, and Dermot Mulroney are still great actors regardless.
