I love this movie so much
One of my all time favorites.
Better Late Then Never
Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.
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.
After reading reviews on line, I did not particularly want to see this film. But, I had a Red Box coupon for 16 cents, so I rented it. It was not as bad as ANY of the reviews said! It wasn't the best movie ever, but I would recommend watching this movie for people of all ages! It's funny and has action, which makes it a perfect film.
I could only watch the first 30 minutes. It's not much happening, and it's not even funny. The acting is terrible as well: the boy founds out that his grandpa is indeed a special agent when the grandpa starts kicking ass, and the boy is just like 'yea, whatever'. I know, it's a comedy, but this "acting" what I saw in the movie is not funny, it's just simply bad. But by far the worst part is the music. Never in my life have I ever saw a single film before, that had music as bad as this. The music is the same when they just cruising in the car, and when the girl tries to escape the cell she's in, or when they show her face, and trying to show us how frightened she is. It's really a waste of time, i don't recommend watching it.
I would say don't waste your time viewing this below B-quality mess of a movie. The humor is ham-fisted and the plot elements are silly and rather ridiculous, plus the age jokes get really tiresome.The story revolves around 17-year-old Jake Bouchard (Dylan Everett) whose friend Angie has been kidnapped by a General wanted for war crimes and who is holding her in a heavily guarded warehouse. Jake will enlist the help of his grandfather Major Lou Crawford (James Caan), a former Canadian Special Forces officer from decades before, to help him free Angie. The Major will in turn enlist the help of his former military team to assist in the attack.I'm sorry to say, it's nice to see such stalwarts of the silver screen as Caan, Louis Gossett Jr., Paul Sorvino, and Jessica Walter in a film together but not in a rather lame vehicle like this.
