THE WAR WITH GRANDPA (Released to Switzerland 2016)

 

Ben Meyers’ Rating: 3.8|5.0 Starsììì  The War with Grandpa—presents as a comedy—has little comedy. This is a war where everyone loses. It has a good cast: Oakes Fegley, Christopher Walken, Cheech Marin and Uma Thurman, but it does show a situation where someone should have stepped in long before the climax reveals itself. There are some original comedic points; but overall, it is not a high quality storyline.   Film Poster Courtesy of IMDb Storyline A woman believes her father can't take care himself anymore. So she brings him to her house and makes her son's room into his room; but her son is not happy.  Additional Thanks Thank you to Director Tim Hill for directing effort. Thank you to Producers Marvin Peart, Rosa Morris Peart, and Phillip Glasser for making the film possible. Cast includes Robert De Niro, Uma Thurman, Rob Riggle, Oakes Fegley, Laura Marano, Cheech Marin, Jane Seymour, and Christopher Walken.   Buy a ticket? Yes? No? Maybe?  Maybe. It is well-acted and has good portrayal, but no one 'wins' in this movie. It is meant to be a comedy, but seems to fall flat in storyline.  Video Critique Available Here: Ben Meyers
