Matcollis This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.
Majorthebys Charming and brutal
Iseerphia All that we are seeing on the screen is happening with real people, real action sequences in the background, forcing the eye to watch as if we were there.
Jerrie It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...
Paul Magne Haakonsen I didn't know what to expect when I sat down to watch this movie. And the reason why I did sit down to watch it was James Caan, pure and simple.This movie was actually surprisingly better than I had dared to think it to be.The storyline was good and entertaining, although somewhat predictable and generic. But it was the absurdity of the situations and the older actors that really made this an outstanding movie with their memorable performances.There were some nice actors and actresses performing in "Undercover Grandpa", with the likes of James Caan, Louis Gossett Jr., Kenneth Welsh and Jessica Walter.There is lots of action, well more or less taking into consideration the age of most of the people here. "Undercover Grandpa" was actually fun and wholesome entertainment for the entire family.
whitemanfromtowne Not sure why people are trying to compare this film to Red, to me the story didn't seem like it was competing against it. It was more laid back and silly to be that intense. A great cast of icons, that I guess were happy to be making a movie up in age. Nothing against seniors, but this movie was just bad. The story, and the acting was just not good. It felt like a satire film without the target to satire. James Caan is legend, but he should've (as well as the other legends) should've said no to this awful script. Watch the trailer it says it all. Great to see the oldies but goodies, I just wished they were in something more film worthy. And one more thing, can the bad guys be from somewhere else other than the place that speak with Russian dialogue. Tired of every film they are the villains. Also not a big fan of Dylan Everett. You can take or leave this film, not recommended.
elizaa-753-846939 How did something with such potential, at least on paper, go so wrong? Everything was there, the writers, actors, directer, producers & yet this is all they managed to come up with? Clichéd, hackneyed & plain ridiculous. I wonder if they all lost a bet & the penalty was to be involved with this production? Terrible all round. Don't waste time on this dud, just click along to the next on your viewing list.
gaykathleen Most of us over 70 could not manage to work as hard as these guys did to produce this film. I asked my husband if he enjoyed the movie and he said he did. He is 75. Maybe the bad reviewers are too young and critical to appreciate a film about old people. It is not a great movie but it is also not a terrible one. Lower your expectations and sit back and enjoy a few old people jokes and the fact that 70 plus guys can actually make a reasonable movie. Caan is a good actor and he carries the film along with some help from his buddies. The two young ones do a reasonable job as well. They are older than the characters they are portraying. There are no earth shattering scenes or fast chases but the storyline is okay. It is about rescuing a damsel in distress by her boyfriend and his grandfather along with some aged buddies. There is no trick photography or devices used to make it faster paced or more exciting. Expect an okay movie and if you are over 70 it will help.
