Robert De Niro enlists in a prank battle in The War With Grandpa trailer
Aug 14, 2020
When he's not busy playing a gangster, talk show host or the flamboyant captain of a sky vessel, legendary actor Robert De Niro can be found starring in a family comedy where the actor gets to temporarily shed his tough-guy exterior. Today we'll be taking a look at one of De Niro's goofier films, when he stars as Ed for director Tim Hill 's (MUPPETS FROM SPACE, HOP) THE WAR WITH GRANDPA .
Here's the official synopsis:
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.
Based on the award-winning book by Robert Kimmel Smith, The War with Grandpa features an all-star supporting cast: Christopher Walken , Uma Thurman , Rob Riggle , Cheech Marin , Laura Marano, and Jane Seymour .
“ The War With Grandpa is a labor of love because the book was read and pitched to me by my then eight-year-old son, Tre. This film is a true family affair,” said Rosa Peart, Producer and Co-Founder of Marro Media Company. “We wanted to make a film where everyone of all ages can watch and enjoy. We are very excited, to introduce the next generation of kids to a once in a generation actor…Mr. De Niro.”
