Undercover Grandpa (2017)

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.

Well, I saw De Niro's Grandpa and found it awful. Right now, I thought "this one cannot be worst, it should be better".Ouch. Leave Grandpas alone."Undercover Grandpa" is just plain dumb. You can't believe the story for a single second ! Watch Caan having trouble to just walk away, and suddenly, doing hand fight almost like JCVD...unbelievable. The whole thing is a total mess.The girl playing as Angie is a bad actress, she looks "lost".If you really want to see what "old" actors can still do, I suggest you to watch "RED" and "RED 2", they are much better. And avoid "undercover grandpa" at all cost.

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.

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.
