Featured reviews
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 movie is hilarious. It's the type of absurd slapstick comedy we don't get enough of in Hollywood anymore. Robert DeNiro as Grandpa is fantastic. He's both funny and heartwarming; the type of grandpa most kids want. Uma Thurman and Rob Riggle as the parents are also very funny and play off of DeNiro's character very well. The story follows a boy named Peter who's excited that his Grandpa is coming to live with his family...until he discovers that Grandpa is going to be staying in his room while he's moved up to the attic. This sets off a war of pranks and hijinks between Gramps and Peter as they try to one up each other. Overall, it's very good and will keep you entertained throughout. DeNiro, in particular, really shines. Gather the kids and give this one a shot, you won't be disappointed.
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.

"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"
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.
