War with Grandpa, The

[Opens Oct. 9 in theaters.] When his feisty, beloved, widowed grandfather (Robert De Niro) moves into his bedroom in this wacky, intermittently funny, family-oriented, pratfall, slapstick, predictable, like-it-or-leave-it, star-studded (Jane Seymour, Christopher Walken, Cheech Marin, Faizon Love, Juliocesar Chavez, Colin Ford, and Kendrick Cross), 94-minute comedy reminiscent of "Home Alone" and based on Robert Kimmel Smith's award-winning children's book, bullied, resourceful, 12-year-old sixth-grader (Oakes Fegley), who lives with his parents (Uma Thurman and Rob Riggle) and sisters (Laura Marano and Poppy Gagnon), begins strategizing a prank-filled scheme to get his prized bedroom back and to get out of the attic.
