Where to Watch The War with Grandpa
- jackmeatJuly 11, 2025My quick rating - 5.7/10. Well-made comedy flick about a kid who loses his bedroom to his grandfather, who is forced to move in. Well, this doesn't sit well with the kid, so he declares war on Gramps (Robert DeNiro). The casting also includes Uma Thurman and Rob Riggle as the in-between parents who are oblivious to the constant pranks being thrown back and forth between the kid and the grandpa. There really was a missed opportunity with this cast to make an exceptional comedic flick, but they played it really safe and left a lot to be desired. It is too bad since when it was on target, it was pretty damn funny, but the script itself just didn't have enough for me to rate it that much higher. Still a worthwhile film to check out.
