Released in 2006, "Grandma's Boy" is a stoner comedy produced by Happy Madison Productions, the company co-founded by Adam Sandler. The film follows Alex, a 35-year-old video game tester who still lives with his grandma. While the movie wasn't a major box office hit, it achieved legendary status for a rather unusual reason: it was reportedly one of the most stolen movies in Blockbuster history.
There's no official data on Blockbuster's most-stolen rentals, but according to a 2022 interview with actor Nick Swardson, who co-wrote and starred in the film, the then-CEO of Blockbuster himself admitted "Grandma's Boy" was a champion collector. Apparently, fans loved the movie so much they just...forgot to return it.
This unintentional cult status speaks to the film's unique blend of humor. "Grandma's Boy" taps into the nostalgia of the video game world, throws in a healthy dose of raunchy jokes, and features memorable characters like Alex's roommates, JP and Kip, with their signature "matrix" outfits and love of pudding.
Whether due to its humor or sheer relatability for those living unconventional lives, "Grandma's Boy" resonated with audiences in a way that transcended rentals. It became a favorite for late-night viewing parties, solidifying its place in comedic history - and unintentionally leaving Blockbuster with a few empty shelves.
