"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"
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)
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.

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.

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.
