I walked into this film expecting it to be bad, but surprisingly didn't hate this has much, still not saying it's a great movie. Was very amusing, but there are movies I could watch again and again, but The War with Grandpa is not one of them. Don't get me wrong there where some moments I laughed, The prank war between the grandpa and the kid was okay. The chemistry between Robert De Niro and Oakes Fegley is fun to watch. Christopher Walken, Cheech Marin and Jane Seymour are also good in there supporting roles, you can see that there having a blast making this.
The weak spots are Uma Thurman and Rob Riggle has the parents, just did not convince me that they are couple, and Riggle looks bored here and rather be doing something else. Uma Thurman looks incredibly miserable, kind of seems like she doesn't want to be in this, even moments where she acts happy, but I
just didn't see it. Now Uma Thurman and Rob Riggle are talented actors, but this was not a good showcase of there talent. There was a subplot with one of the kids, but with no real payoff. I admire Robert De Niro he is such committed actor, even if he knows the film is gonna be bad, he's committed.
The War with Grandpa was amusing, but nothing more, one time was enough for me.
