Review Summary and Plot Commentary about Grandma's Boy
The movie begins with a man who loses his apartment and is forced to move in with his Grandma. Alex, the main character, is a video game tester and loves his job. Hilarity ensues as   Alex has to deal with his Grandmother and her two roommates. A new coworker moves to Alex's office and he falls in love with her. The movie focuses on that and also the funny situations he gets into with his best friend J.P. Alex's eccentric nerdy boss threatens all Alex has worked for when he steals the game he had been developing. Alex has to find a way to straighten this out and set things right.
