UNDERCOVER GRANDPA (Theatrical Release USA 2017)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 2.3|5.0 Starsìì

Undercover Grandpa inadvertently downgrades and disgraces veteran warriors of the last generation with its poorly written script and its less-than-B-grade story line. The only thing that partially redeems this film is the pleasure of seeing James Caan and Louis Gosset, Jr. cast together on the big screen.

No. A similar concept with higher entertainment value is the 2010 Bruce Willis film, Red.
