The story is based on Robert Kimmel Smith’s bestselling children’s novel; the family it presents is strictly standard issue. Circumstances force retired architect Ed (Robert De Niro) to move in with his daughter's (Uma Thurman) family. It’s grandson Peter (Oakes Fegley) whose anger kicks off the so-called conflict. In an effort to make room for pop-pop, this boy’s life is upended: a grudge match begins between the little focker and dirty grandpa after Ed inadvertently causes his grandson’s resettlement from bedroom to attic. Watch for what could be the most memorable round of dodgeball ever staged before a green screen. Poor Thurman spends most of her time caught in the crossfire; fortunately, De Niro has brought a few other friends in to play along: Cheech Marin, Jane Seymour, and Christopher Walken, all of whom appear to be having the time of their life as they square off with Peter and his pals for a game of whammies. And you’re going to have to trust me on this: it’s worth the price of admission just to hear Walken say, “Of course I do.” (2020) — Scott Marks
