This is a family drama movie. In this movie, De Niro plays grandfather Ed, a former architect who sinks into depression after the death of his wife. When he loses his nerve in a supermarket, his daughter Sally (Uma Thurman) brings him to his home. There he meets his unloved son-in-law Arthur (Rob Riggle), the granddaughter’s Mia (Laura Marano), who only thinks of boys, and Jennifer (Poppy Gagnon), who only has Christmas on her mind all day. And then there is his grandson Peter (Oakes Fegley), who gives Ed a frosty welcome.
Peter had to vacate his beloved room for Grandpa and from now on he lives under the roof. The new middle school student doesn’t like that at all. So, he declares war on his grandfather, which he ignores at first and which he then enters to teach his grandson a lesson.

The movie has great fun for the little ones. For the grown-ups on the home theater couch, it should have been a little more action. Though each family member has their own fights and Peter is waging a completely different war at his new school, screenwriters Tom J. Astle and Matt Ember couldn’t quite make up their minds which story to tell. In the end, they line up a little too much and simply stroke after stroke. With the secondary characters and their actors, there would definitely have been more. Christopher Walken and Cheech Marin as Ed’s buddies are at best only beginning to exploit the comedic potential that slumbers in this pensioner trio. And Uma Thurman is not much more than a small but fine Quentin-Tarantino memory moment shortly before the end.
In this movie, you not only get a good laugh, but also something to think about. There’s one thing about war: it escalates quickly and never gets along without innocent victims. Returning to family peace is therefore the only sensible decision.I really enjoyed watching this movie.
