Like, it’s fine. Safe and whatever. Actually has a few decent laughs. Just no real momentum or purpose.

A fun film that cannot compete with the real comic films of today. It was an average film that you certainly do not have to see in the cinema.

Dirty Grandpa, but cute.

For the most part this family-friendly slapstick comedy meanders around without much of a real plot as grandfather and son go back and forth in a "war" of over-the-top pranks while swapping some touching moments with the rest of the house along the way. Outside of a rather tasteless gag at a funeral that involves the body of the deceased getting manhandled, it's about as inoffensive as you can get. Naturally, the older you are the less amusing all of this will be, but it's still worth putting on for the kids. Not only will it likely keep them in a near-constant fit of laughter, but also comes with a nice anti-war message on top of preaching the values of getting along with your elders. Yes, it's about as deep and original as an inflatable children's pool. That doesn't really matter too much though when all it's trying to be is a bit of harmless entertainment for the youngsters, which is something I can always get behind.… Expand

This might have bad acting and jokes. But its not trying to be the new Parasite. Its just a silly kids movie.

Watchable yet never fully committed to either it's dramatic or comedic tones, TWWG failed to muster more than a chuckle or any emotional responses from me throughout my viewing.

The great cast felt wasted and the set pieces only proved to distract from any dramatic potential of what could've been a fascinating family dynamic.… Expand

I liked it, but it is of course more for kids. So I assume it might be more funny for kids who watching and for grownups some jokes maybe not as funny anymore.

Rubbish.

Everything about 'The War with Grandpa' just feels off, nothing feels right to me. What doesn't help is that the first 25-30 minutes are extremely dull, like utterly and truly boring. Once the premise gets underway it slightlyRubbish.

Everything about 'The War with Grandpa' just feels off, nothing feels right to me. What doesn't help is that the first 25-30 minutes are extremely dull, like utterly and truly boring. Once the premise gets underway it slightly improves, yet still produces nothing to remember. Even the 'war moves' that feature fairly cool scenarios just come across as very underwhelming.

The acting across the board is subpar, at best. That's a major disappointment, given Robert De Niro (Ed), Uma Thurman (Sally) and Christopher Walken (Jerry) are involved. I don't necessarily feel like they weren't trying or anything, but I just didn't sense any spark from them. The kid actors, meanwhile, are average.

Despite a relatively short run time of 94 minutes, I was gagging for the end credits for a rather long while. With that said, knowing me I'll still probably check out the apparently upcoming 'The World War with Grandpa' sequel in a few years...… Expand
