Grandma's Boy is a comedy about a video gaming tester. In the beginning it starts out with Alex getting evicted from his apartment. He decides to move in with his friend Jeff, but is then caught masturbating to an action figure doll in-front of Jeff's mom. He is then forced to move in with his grandma and her two roommates who watch Antiques Roadshow all day. Meanwhile at work he tells everyone that he has moved in with 3 attractive women who keep him up all night. This would have worked if his grandmother had not shown up to his job to drop off lunch. While at work he is supposed to be finishing testing a game, but is not able to do so because his television is being taken up by his grandmother and roommates. He also is working on his own game which one of the game creators, JP, decides to steal. The only problem is that his grandma has played the game and then wins against JP in a game off.
The director plays with gender because a woman is hired at a video game testing place and video games are seen as a man's type of game. Race is not really an issue in the movie because there are no references to it. Sex on the other hand like gender is definitely played up on.
