“Old school vs new cool.”
In "The War with Grandpa," 2020's quirky family drama, Peter's world is upended when his grandfather displaces him in his bedroom, forcing him into the attic. The boy's resentment simmers, culminating in a defiant campaign to reclaim his space. Director Tim Hill navigates the humor and heartache of this generational clash with a light touch, transforming a simple squabble into a testament to familial bonds and the battles fought in the name of personal territory.
