Bad Grandpa -

: It was the first Jackass project to use a scripted storyline to bridge the gap between stunts. This allowed for more "heartfelt" moments, particularly the growing bond between the mismatched pair.

The film follows 86-year-old Irving Zisman (Johnny Knoxville) and his 8-year-old grandson, Billy (Jackson Nicoll), on a cross-country journey to reunite Billy with his father. Along the way, Irving creates mayhem by pulling hidden-camera pranks on real people who are completely unaware they are part of a movie. Why It Worked
