Trailer:
Hi again everyone!
Today I wanted either to watch an Horror or something completely light and I went for the latter choosing a mainstream comedy.
Was not too intrigued by the flyer art but having seen "Dirty Grandpa" I thought it'll be hilarious. The addition of Christopher Walken to such great actors as Uma Thurman and Robert De Niro was a good sign (And let's not forget Cheech Marin!).
The Plot is very simple -- ! Minor spoilers !
_______________
Retired grandpa has a few hiccups struggling with ageing and loneliness.
His lovely daughter pushes him to move in with the rest of her family where he is given his grandson's room.
The boy doesn't take it very well and declares war!!
________________
Although not original It's a simple but good enough recipe for fun...
Unfortunately it's very mainstream and the execution although decent is quite formulaic and vaguely resembles movies like "Home Alone".
Some jokes are ok but nothing memorable unless I presume you are very young and perhaps that was the intended target; Kids and family.
I later realised for instance that "Dirty Grandpa" was directed by Dan Mazer, known for "Borat" and "Ali G" etc. while "War With Grandpa" is Directed by Tim Hill who wrote and directed many young animated comedy movies.......
Nevertheless not much effort was put into this and big names served mostly to lure the audience.
Music and photography are also average.
Luckily it is all very light so it doesn't feel bad to loose 1h and 38min.
There's pretty much no violence, sex or bad language and seems to be morally against its title premises therefore a movie family could easily enjoy!
