The War with Grandpa' Poster

This was surprisingly fun and funny. I wasn't expecting much however I think the kid, Oakes Fegley was a good match for De Niro. How I rate: 1-3 :heart: = seriously! don't waste your time 4-6 :heart: = you may or may not enjoy this 7-8 :heart: = I expect you will like this too 9-10 :heart: = movies and TV shows I really love!

I couldn't wait to see this after watching the previews. It was terrible. Not funny and DiNiro doing his usual schtick just like his picture on the poster. Completely uninteresting, bad writing and mediocre acting. Cringeworthy would probably be one word to encapsulate this piece of garbage. 0/10

The plot is so tired and overused, nothing about this film was original at all. There is a problem between two people, then they do bad stuff to each other and at the end they feel sorry for it. Not just the writing but also the characters were cliche. Such a stereotypical family - teenage ('ugh, I hate my parents') girl, hiding a relationship with a boy, middle school boy loves video games, and youngest sibling (most of the time a girl) who is always so innocent. I don't care if it's a kids movie, that doesn't excuse it for being lazy and formulaic.

There are a few genuinely funny bits. The plot is quite charming. It doesn't take itself too seriously. The numerous big name costars are fine but aren't given a whole lot to do. 6.5/10

In a way I almost want to up the score by a point or two just for being exactly as bad as I imagined.

There are honestly aspects of this movie that I like. De Niro's Ed doesn't want to be there. and the kid Peter hates losing his room. This is a childish thing for him to hate but he at l More

Rubbish.

Everything about 'The War with Grandpa' just feels off, nothing feels right to me. What doesn't help is that the first 25-30 minutes are extremely dull, like utterly and truly boring. Once the premise gets underway it slightly improves, yet still produces nothing to remember. Ev More

Sit down, let the screen light up and enjoy the distraction. This is an amazing collection of actors having a bit of fun with a script that's something a little different. In a year where we have had some serious stinkers, you could do considerably worse than 'The War with Grandpa'. This is definite More

My expectations were not high for this one – a film shot three years ago that failed to get any kind of release, featuring some high profile names (Robert De Niro, Uma Thurman, Christopher Walken) and based on a huge-selling children’s book.

I was surprised to find myself smiling throughout, More
