About this movie

Sixth-grader Peter (Oakes Fegley) is pretty much your average kid- he likes gaming, hanging with his friends and his beloved pair of Air Jordans. But when his recently widowed grandfather Ed (Robert De Niro) moves in with Peter's family, the boy is forced to give up his most prized possession of all, his bedroom. Unwilling to let such an injustice stand, Peter devises a series of increasingly elaborate pranks to drive out the interloper, but Grandpa Ed won't go without a fight. Soon, the friendly combatants are engaged in an all-out war with side-splitting consequences.

It deserves a ZERO. The first prank with the car and music, funny! But the grandpa is in matured! He should not do all these pranks to a KID! He took out all the screws in the room, made him miserable by taking down petersburg! This man is mean. And we all know that the one boy did not mean to hit the old guy on the head but the old guy ment to hit the boy in.... idk. We ALSO know that the main boy, caught the ball first, we saw it! This movie is the worst movie I've ever seen! BTW, I'm NOT MAL

I watched this fornabout t3n minutes, and it was so poorly written I couldn't stand it. DeNiro gets his grandson's bedroom when he moves in after 5heir grandmother dies, and 5he kid sta4ts an immediate war to get hisnroom back and stick his grandad in the attic......Hes abrwtired builder, and I bet there will be some remodel. Kind of mean and disrespectful

I would give 1 and a half stars if possible. The plot is a good, home alone redo with grandpa as the bad guy who is actually good. The child actor is great but grandpa not so much. It is hard to watch 2 hours of grandpa with TDS without holding a grudge.
