The upcoming sex-drugs-and-aging comedy, starring Zac Efron and Robert De Niro, centers on a man about to get married who is tricked by his grandfather into heading to Daytona Beach Florida to party irresponsibly and presumably learn that he’s marrying the wrong woman.

In the trailer, Efron smokes crack, lots of booze is consumed, and Plaza throws herself at De Niro a lot. Also sex, lots of sex.

Directed by Dan Mazer from a script by John Phillips,

Along with Efron, De Niro and Plaza, Dirty Grandpa also stars Zoe Deutch, Dermot Mulroney and Julianne Hough.

Dirty Grandpa hits theaters on January 22, 2016.

The Parks and Recreation star will star opposite Zac Efron and Robert De Niro in the film about an uptight twenty-something (Efron) who embarks on a road trip before his wedding to bond with his recently widowed grandfather (De Niro) only to find that his grandpa is a foul-mouthed lunatic on a mission to get laid during Spring Break.

Plaza will portray Lenore, a savvy, beguiling party girl looking for fun on Spring Break.

Dan Mazer (Da Ali G Show) is directing from a screenplay by John Phillips.

Lionsgate has already slated the film for an August 12, 2016 release.
