The War with Grandpa
SCORE: 83
I am very thankful Family Friendly Gaming
was given a retail copy of The War with Grandpa on Blu-ray + DVD +
Digital Code. Yolanda and I enjoyed this movie on a couples movie night.
The War with Grandpa is all about a family that brings the patriarch
into their home. The sixth grade boy Peter must lose his room and
relocate to the attic. His sisters already share a room together.
Neither the grandpa Ed or the grandchild Peter want this change in their
lives.
Peter decides his grandfather is stealing his room and declares war. The
two of them go into a war of pranks. This is where the rude humor and a
variety of painful experiences happen. Some of the pranks in The War
with Grandpa are hilarious. The poor grandfather loses his pants in
front of his son-in-law multiple times. Thankfully nothing is shown on
the screen. This is exactly how this kind of a concept can be done to
keep it family friendly.
We laughed and laughed at a variety of the things that happen in The War
with Grandpa. SPOILER ALERT! As you might expect their war winds up
impacting and hurting others in the family. They eventually come to
terms with their rooms and relationship. The fishing scene is fantastic
in bonding in The War with Grandpa. It was a bit lame they ran from the
authorities at one point in The War with Grandpa.
The son-in-law Arthur is a bit weak in my opinion. There is a running
joke in The War with Grandpa about how he has to ask permission to use a
chainsaw. Arthur did stand up for himself at one point in The War with
Grandpa which is a good thing. He also listened to wise counsel and
worked on following one of his dreams. That thread was left open which
is fine with me because there is potential for a sequel.
There are plenty of well known actors and actresses in The War with
Grandpa like Robert de Niro, Uma Thurman, Rob Riggle, and Christopher
Walken. They all play their parts really well. Dodge ball on trampolines
was a really interesting concept in The War with Grandpa. Expect plenty
of laughs in The War with Grandpa. It takes one hour and thirty-five
minutes to watch The War with Grandpa from start to finish.
