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.

A comedy where adults played well but the kids crossed it all out. The kid overplayed it too much. Robert did an awesome job
I walked into this film expecting it to be bad, but surprisingly didn't hate this has much, still not saying it's a great movie. Was very amusing, but there are movies I could watch again and again, but The War with Grandpa is not one of them. Don't get me wrong there where some moments I laughed, The prank war between the grandpa and the kid was okay. The chemistry between Robert De Niro and Oakes Fegley is fun to watch. Christopher Walken, Cheech Marin and Jane Seymour are also good in there supporting roles, you can see that there having a blast making this.
The weak spots are Uma Thurman and Rob Riggle has the parents, just did not convince me that they are couple, and Riggle looks bored here and rather be doing something else. Uma Thurman looks incredibly miserable, kind of seems like she doesn't want to be in this, even moments where she acts happy, but I just didn't see it. Now Uma Thurman and Rob Riggle are talented actors, but this was not a good showcase of there talent. There was a subplot with one of the kids, but with no real payoff. I admire Robert De Niro he is such committed actor, even if he knows the film is gonna be bad, he's committed.
The War with Grandpa was amusing, but nothing more, one time was enough for me.

This is the story of a grandpa who comes to live with his daughter's family. His daughter gives his son's room to his father. The war between the son and grandpa starts here. This is a very nice comedy. I enjoyed watching it. The story is happening in many different locations like home, school, etc. The acting crew was awesome. Robert De Niro was great like always. In my opinion, he is a living breathing book on how to act. Also, Uma Thurman was good in this movie. Oakes Fegley is very talented. We will hear more from him in the future. The story was well-directed. In summary, if you are a fan of comedy, this is a great pick for you.
"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"
