I didn't know what to expect when I sat down to watch this movie. And the reason why I did sit down to watch it was James Caan, pure and simple.This movie was actually surprisingly better than I had dared to think it to be.The storyline was good and entertaining, although somewhat predictable and generic. But it was the absurdity of the situations and the older actors that really made this an outstanding movie with their memorable performances.There were some nice actors and actresses performing in "Undercover Grandpa", with the likes of James Caan, Louis Gossett Jr., Kenneth Welsh and Jessica Walter.There is lots of action, well more or less taking into consideration the age of most of the people here. "Undercover Grandpa" was actually fun and wholesome entertainment for the entire family.

Well, I saw De Niro's Grandpa and found it awful. Right now, I thought "this one cannot be worst, it should be better".Ouch. Leave Grandpas alone."Undercover Grandpa" is just plain dumb. You can't believe the story for a single second ! Watch Caan having trouble to just walk away, and suddenly, doing hand fight almost like JCVD...unbelievable. The whole thing is a total mess.The girl playing as Angie is a bad actress, she looks "lost".If you really want to see what "old" actors can still do, I suggest you to watch "RED" and "RED 2", they are much better. And avoid "undercover grandpa" at all cost.

This may not have been the worst movie I've ever seen because there are so many terrible movies being made anymore but it certainly feels like it. Stupid "plot" with old retired government agent elements swiped from Bruce Willis',"RED"--but MUCH older men, the Robert Duvall old guy/young whippersnapper fight scene from "Second Hand Lions" and what seems to be the now requisite dopey teen love story. And I was once again reminded of what an awful--truly awful--actor James Caan is. Ugh. Can't believe I watched the thing all the way through. Another example of the complete lack of quality and creativity in entertainment anymore.

Most of us over 70 could not manage to work as hard as these guys did to produce this film. I asked my husband if he enjoyed the movie and he said he did. He is 75. Maybe the bad reviewers are too young and critical to appreciate a film about old people. It is not a great movie but it is also not a terrible one. Lower your expectations and sit back and enjoy a few old people jokes and the fact that 70 plus guys can actually make a reasonable movie. Caan is a good actor and he carries the film along with some help from his buddies. The two young ones do a reasonable job as well. They are older than the characters they are portraying. There are no earth shattering scenes or fast chases but the storyline is okay. It is about rescuing a damsel in distress by her boyfriend and his grandfather along with some aged buddies. There is no trick photography or devices used to make it faster paced or more exciting. Expect an okay movie and if you are over 70 it will help.
