The War with Grandpa

Yes it is predictable, yes the pranks are sometimes stupid etc. But do not tell me that you had high expectations for the plot? You knew this would be a simple and straightforward movie with an uncomplicated plot. You have a supercast, Robert De Niro, Uma Thurman, Rob Riggle, Jane Seymour and Christopher Walken. It is the same as going to see a LA Lakers game to see LeBron James playing. And at the same time you can enjoy watching the other superstars from the Lakers like Anthony Davis and Danny Green. This movie is very enjoyable to watch. Don´t have high expectations and you will be all right.

Getting my family to agree on something is hard enough, getting them all to like the same thing? Hardly never happens. I can see how if you don't have kids, maybe you're a young couple, you may not appreciate the humour. I have a family of 4, whos dad actually lives with us and everyone from my 10 year old son up to my 80 year old dad spent the entire time howling with laughter!! Yes there was a moment where my son thought it looked like a fun idea, but was quickly corrected by his grandad that he took no prisoners and my son changed his mind but honestly, De Niro was his usual funny self. I'm not personally a fan of Uma, she was more grown up and relatable in this to me though, so if you loved her in some of her older stuff maybe don't watch this just to catch up on some Uma time. Slapstick humour, Cheech and Walken were the icing on the cake for us. We will be buying the DVD. Thanks for a successful family film night (for once)

"It's a fun movie you know, it's entertaining, well nothing really special here but I think Robert De Niro doing a very well act here, the story is very unique, it's very enjoyable movie and a very proper family movie"

This is def not a critics movie, its not demanding, it has no intellectual message, but it's fun! It's a family film, kids will like it, but there are a lots of good jokes for grown-ups too, so its a perfect family movie, this is light entertainment for having a good time and you can get drunk and watch it. lol And it's kind of old school, reminded me of "Home Alone" and "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation" but with a new vibe.

Actually a perfect movie to relax, that won't bore you.

Your Experienced Movie Watcher

Stop expecting De Niro to only do critically acclaimed movies and enjoy this with your kids.

It probably won't be a classic in years to come but it's an enjoyable hour and a half.
