He was once the gold standard among American actors, whose presence was a sort of insurance policy that even if a film didn’t work, it had some respectable ambition behind it. It’s Robert De Niro who really suffers here. Glover is relatively fortunate, though: he’s embarrassed for a mere sixty seconds or so. Such a picture is the abysmal “Dirty Grandpa,” in which Danny Glover briefly appears as a character named Stinky, an adjective that also fits this malodorous mess perfectly. “Spring Breakers” was such a monstrosity, and last year “Hot Tub Time Machine 2” filled the bill. Every once in awhile a movie comes around that’s so repulsive that you leave it certain that the theatre is in need of fumigation, and get home feeling a desire for a quick shower.
