Undercover Grandpa

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.

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.

After reading reviews on line, I did not particularly want to see this film. But, I had a Red Box coupon for 16 cents, so I rented it. It was not as bad as ANY of the reviews said! It wasn't the best movie ever, but I would recommend watching this movie for people of all ages! It's funny and has action, which makes it a perfect film.
