Just a fun family film, and I'm glad to see all these fantastic actors from years past, out having a good time. Louis Gossett Jr, James Caan, Paul Sorvino, and a few others. It's a lighthearted treat, and isn't aiming for an Oscar nomination, lol. Enjoy it for what it is intended for, entertainment.
It's a comedy, a teenage movie...so, if you watch this movie THAT way, then you'll enjoy it.
But I guess a lot of whining "experts" here thought they were watching Rambo and expecting Mission impossible 7.
Most of us over 70 could not manage to work as hard as these guys did to produce this film. I asked my husband if he enjoyed the movie and he said he did. He is 75. Maybe the bad reviewers are too young and critical to appreciate a film about old people. It is not a great movie but it is also not a terrible one. Lower your expectations and sit back and enjoy a few old people jokes and the fact that 70 plus guys can actually make a reasonable movie. Caan is a good actor and he carries the film along with some help from his buddies. The two young ones do a reasonable job as well. They are older than the characters they are portraying. There are no earth shattering scenes or fast chases but the storyline is okay. It is about rescuing a damsel in distress by her boyfriend and his grandfather along with some aged buddies. There is no trick photography or devices used to make it faster paced or more exciting. Expect an okay movie and if you are over 70 it will help.

The poor writing didn't take advantage of an excellent cast. I realize it's a comedy, but it's so unrealistic, it was hard to get into.
The movie had some charm, and a bumbling comedic uplift.. Some great actors. Technically Looked sharp, fault with the clichéd way overdone plot.. May have worked better if the grandpas' were 10 years younger..Kinda sad, to see these great actors, have aged so much..
Still it was a 'feel good' piece of fluff movie..It did get me to laugh and smile a few t times. I did enjoy it, Given the material they had to work with, all actors did a great job..

- GoofsOne of the sacks they brought in for dinner with Grandpa said PFK instead of KFC(PFK is what's on the french side of a KFC box. Or in Quebec, they all say PFK. As this is a Canadian film, it is not an error to display the PFK.).
- Crazy creditsThe credits scroll down from the top of the screen instead of the usual up from the bottom.
