Lack of good storyline.
I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.
A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
The movie really just wants to entertain people.
It's a comedy, a teenage movie...so, if you watch this movie THAT way, then you'll enjoy it. But I guess a lot of whining "experts" here thought they were watching Rambo and expecting Mission impossible 7.
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.
One of the "professional" movie critics here (Frank Veenstra) said the above about "Undercover Grandpa". I presume he means it "won't bore or annoy" anyone unless they have the misfortune of watching it? I give it a single star because there is no zero star option available. It's so poorly directed, acted, written and filmed, it hurt to watch. How does central casting hire a 22 year old Toronto kid and a 26 year old Russian girl to portray two 17 year American old high schoolers? Guess they never saw a film with actual child actors (Elizabeth Taylor, Shirley Temple, Kurt Russell, Jackie Coogan, McCauley Culkin, Drew Barrymore etc. etc. etc).
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.
