It was just okay.
Great and hilarious
We loved it
A nice easy movie DeNiro great in the part.
Good & cute!!
We were eager to get out and get back to the movie theater even if it maybe to see a mediocre movie And that is exactly what this was. The premise seemed like it had potential for some good laughs but often the ‘comedy’ was forced and not funny. At times I just wanted to…
a little dull, but fun
Great family movie. Beside the Christmas and Birthday stuff, everything else was great for family and kids.
I bought this movie by mistake and didn’t get my refund lol
it was ok, had funny parts
For all these people giving this more than 2 stars, they are CLEARLY desperate for entertainment. Poorly acted jumbled mess that tries desperately to take itself seriously. Pathetically contrived. Even attempts to redeem itself with a “bigger” message at the end. This is…
Felt good to laugh!
Loved this show! An all star cast for a cute, feel good movie for the whole family!!
Metacritic
In theory, it should be possible to have a comedy about a competition between an elderly man and a child to injure and humiliate each other, but it would need to be substantially sharper than The War with Grandpa to make the case.
There’s a pleasing kernel of genuine warmth glowing at the heart of this movie, but it’s been heavily insulated—almost buried—by juvenile silliness. One could argue that this merely echoes the family dynamic, but your tolerance for buffoonery will still need to be quite high.
The War With Grandpa is a sluggish hodgepodge of slapstick humor that barely holds together its illogically motivated plot.
