02/17/2014 This comedic spoof is a farce along the lines of an American Zucker Brothers movie. Featuring "Oba-chan" from the variety show Gaki no Tsukai and the yearly batsu games, this movie i s a parody of Chinese and Japanese movie and TV tropes. It is best appreciated by those with familiarity of Asian television and cinema. Highly recommended for that specific cultural humor you just cannot find in domestic movies. See more 08/17/2013 Having bad camera work and being low budget, this film tries to go over what it can actually achieve which what makes it something not worth watching! Just because a film is low budget, doesn't mean it'll be bad, there are many directors who make low budget films good with actually making them creative, but the Terauchi's didn't achieve such a feat. See more 12/18/2012 I try to avoid watching this because the title and the cover is just too much to handle. I was so bored today I tried to see if it's any good... yup, I knew this is just not right. The story is serious but I can't really watch this... too phunny! See more 11/17/2011 I can't take this seriously. The drawings of a 60 year old in various explicit sexual poses is just creepy! See more 09/25/2011 Entertaining and funny film. wish it were longer See more 09/24/2011 Shaolin Grandma has the personality of a brick wall. See more Read all reviews
