Review of The War with Grandpa (2020) by Thequietgamer — 04 Jul 2021
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.
