Caddyshack (1980)
Grown Ups (2010)
The Immature Movie: An immature movie about immature men, Grown Ups follows Adam Sandler and friends David Spade, Rob Schneider, Chris Rock and Kevin James as they simultaneously undergo midlife crises. Smug, half-assed tripe.
Crudest Moment: Rob Schneider “hilariously” tonguing a wizened old dear. For God’s sake man, have some pride.
Mental Age: Pre-school humour meets the sort of oily self-satisfaction that only comes with middle-age.
Anchorman (2004)
The Immature Movie: Will Ferrell seals his place on the comedy A-list with this gloriously stupid tale of loud suits and even louder sexism. Stay classy, eh chaps?
Crudest Moment: Ron aims an on-air outburst at co-anchor Christina Applegate: “You are a smelly pirate hooker…why don’t you go back to your home on Whore Island.” And that lands him in trouble? It’s political correctness gone mad!
Mental Age: Smarter than most on this list, Anchorman still boasts an infantile streak a mile wide.
Old School (2003)
The Immature Movie: Todd Phillips follows up Road Trip with this hilarious tale of men who refuse to grow up. Luke Wilson takes the lead as put-upon everyman Mitch, but its Vince Vaughan and Will Ferrell who steal the show as his buffoonish mates. “You’re my boy, Blue!”
Crudest Moment: When one of the recruits takes a header off a tall building, having been yanked off the edge by a breeze block attached to his groin…
Mental Age: If Road Trip was for people looking forward to college, this one is aimed at the thirtysomethings who wish they could go back!
Road Trip (2000)
The Immature Movie: Proving that cross-country capers needn’t be brain-dead laughter vacuums, Todd Phillips’ superior teen comedy supplies the usual gross-out antics whilst keeping the laughs coming with a snappy, sweary script.
Crudest Moment: When Stifler, sorry, “E.L.” visits the sperm bank and gets more than he bargained for from the attendant nurse.
Mental Age: 15-21. This is basically an advert for the debauched fun on offer at University!
Bubble Boy (2001)
The Immature Movie: A young Jake Gyllenhaal stars as the titular scamp, a boy whose immune system is so weak, exposure to a single germ could kill him. As a result, he lives in a giant plastic bubble. You’d think his condition would be enough to discourage him from embarking upon a madcap road-trip, but this sadly isn’t the case…
Crudest Moment: The squawking Chinese strip-club owner is offensive on a number of levels.
Mental Age: Chronically offensive, only a child could get away with some of the stereotypes on show here!
Scooby-Doo (2002)
The Immature Movie: A live-action adaptation of the classic cartoon caper, in which the scariest thing on show is the woefully shoddy CGI used to bring Scooby to life. Yoinks!
Crudest Moment: An inter-species farting competition that seems to go on for an age!
Mental Age: 7. Look at the silly doggy! He talks like people!
Kingpin (1996)
The Immature Movie: Woody Harrelson, Randy Quaid and Bill Murray serve up a bumper-sized portion of puerile humour in this daft sporting comedy. Stupid it might be, but it’s delivered with such aplomb that it’s hard not to warm to it.
Crudest Moment: Woody helps himself to a bucket full of bull semen. Mmmm, lovely.
Mental Age: 16. The prime age for wilfully immature antics.
Kevin & Perry Go Large (2000)
The Immature Movie: Harry Enfield and Kathy Burke transfer their surly teen personas to the big screen in this Brits-abroad coming-of-age comedy. Let the knob-gags commence!
Crudest Moment: Kevin sporting a massive “comedy” erection as a wasted girl clambers into bed next to him.
Mental Age: A film about teenagers, aimed at teenagers, made by people old enough to know better.
The Master Of Disguise (2002)
The Immature Movie: Wayne’s World star Dana Carvey proves that Myers was the brains of the outfit with this shockingly unfunny comedy. Carvey’s human-turtle routine is one of the worst things you could ever hope to see.
Crudest Moment: All of the impressions are crude, in the sense that they’re incredibly laboured. Carvey mimicking Pacino has to be seen to be believed.
Mental Age: This one goes beyond juvenile into the realm of the deranged…
