TheMovieSearch R @TheMovieSearch Dec 17 Undercover Grandpa is a mid-2000s film that feels more like a made-for-TV curiosity than a theatrical release. The story follows Jake, a teenage boy whose dream date turns into a rescue mission when the girl is kidnapped, forcing him to rely on his grandfather’s secret past as an intelligence operative. Starring James Caan and Jessica Walter, the film benefits slightly from their veteran presence, but even they cannot elevate the material beyond its limitations. The screenplay is uneven and tonally confused, jumping between family comedy, light action, and teen adventure without ever committing to a clear identity. While the acting is serviceable and never outright terrible, it lacks energy and emotional weight, making most scenes feel forgettable. The pacing keeps the film moving, but the stakes never feel urgent or compelling. Ultimately, Undercover Grandpa sits in an awkward middle ground: not bad enough to hate, not good enough to remember. It fades quickly after the credits roll!. See more Andrea Paolo F @AndreaPaolo Feb 8 Marvellous. Original story, well devise. the movie was well payed by the actors/actresses, the story flows very well, the movie has rythm and it's exciting See more D M 07/27/2024 This is a lighthearted comedy that let's seniors see themselves as "back in the day" memories. It is refreshing for (12+) teens to see their grandparents as human beings that had real lives. It will initiate opening doors of communication with youth and senior family members. It did it for my extended family!

See more 01/01/2020 A fun movie. Don't take it too seriously. See more 11/29/2019 I'm watching it now with my dad, thank gosh he's enjoying it but the plot line is totally screwed up boring and skips so many things to make the movie go by quick. It's unfortunate there are a few good successful actors in here, and the film isn't what I expected at all. Quite cliche and lame. I'm still watching it to see how the ending goes.
