Featured review
This movie is hilarious. It's the type of absurd slapstick comedy we don't get enough of in Hollywood anymore. Robert DeNiro as Grandpa is fantastic. He's both funny and heartwarming; the type of grandpa most kids want. Uma Thurman and Rob Riggle as the parents are also very funny and play off of DeNiro's character very well. The story follows a boy named Peter who's excited that his Grandpa is coming to live with his family...until he discovers that Grandpa is going to be staying in his room while he's moved up to the attic. This sets off a war of pranks and hijinks between Gramps and Peter as they try to one up each other. Overall, it's very good and will keep you entertained throughout. DeNiro, in particular, really shines. Gather the kids and give this one a shot, you won't be disappointed.
