The movie, pairing Efron as a straight-laced guy tasked with trucking his lewd and lascivious gramps, played by DeNiro, down to Florida. All sorts of hijinks ensue.

The movie filmed in metro Atlanta and Tybee Island, where Chris Evans is currently filming "Gifted."

 More recently, Zac has been back in Atlanta filming "Neighbors 2."
