Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.

NekoHomey Purely Joyful Movie!

Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.

Griff Lees Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

misavr-41653 It's a comedy, a teenage movie...so, if you watch this movie THAT way, then you'll enjoy it. But I guess a lot of whining "experts" here thought they were watching Rambo and expecting Mission impossible 7.

Eric266 First of all, its hard not to like the movie. James Caan, Lou Gosset Jr, Paul Sorvino and Jessica Walters seemed to be having a good time. It just got kind of embarrassing watching these geriatrics try to be action stars (see my review of Bad Asses on the Bayou). Jake (Dylan Everett) is a teenager who doesn't believe any of his grandpa's (Caan) wild stories about being a spy. When he is forced to drive his grandpa back to the retirement home instead of going to a party with his dream girl, Angie (Greta Onieogou), he does not take it well. When Angie calls him for a ride after her car breaks down, he shows up to find her missing. Grandpa is convinced she's been kidnapped. So, the would be Sherlock Holmes and Watson, start investigating the disappearance. Along the way, grandpa recruits his former team (Gossett, Sorvino, Lawrence Dane, and Kenneth Welsh) to help infiltrate a hideout. Jessica Walters plays his former handler in the CIA who may or not be playing for the other side. The plot is so thin you can see through it. The acting is pretty bad and I almost didn't recognize Lou Gossett Jr. This is no A-Team and probably are more like the AARP-Team. Their attempts to get back in "action" are somewhat humorous, but are really painful to watch...almost as painful as the actors trying to perform the scene. There is one unintentionally hilarious scene where Caan's grandpa jumps a fence. You can tell its a stuntman and when the stuntman lands (below the camera's view) Caan stands up almost too soon and you can just see the stuntman disappearing from view. Its so obvious Caan was kneeling below the camera lens that it made me laugh.One scene that made me laugh out loud was the character of Harry (who looks like Doc Brown from the Back to the Future movies) trying to approach the hideout underwater. He is wearing a deep sea diver suit and is using a walker. The image was just too damn funny.The movie has some charm and its not without its merits. Its good seeing Caan again and many of these accomplished actors will be gone before we know it. It was nice that they got to make fun of their images. Still, this could have been a funnier movie with a better script and less over the top acting by the cast.

whitemanfromtowne Not sure why people are trying to compare this film to Red, to me the story didn't seem like it was competing against it. It was more laid back and silly to be that intense. A great cast of icons, that I guess were happy to be making a movie up in age. Nothing against seniors, but this movie was just bad. The story, and the acting was just not good. It felt like a satire film without the target to satire. James Caan is legend, but he should've (as well as the other legends) should've said no to this awful script. Watch the trailer it says it all. Great to see the oldies but goodies, I just wished they were in something more film worthy. And one more thing, can the bad guys be from somewhere else other than the place that speak with Russian dialogue. Tired of every film they are the villains. Also not a big fan of Dylan Everett. You can take or leave this film, not recommended.

csordger I could only watch the first 30 minutes. It's not much happening, and it's not even funny. The acting is terrible as well: the boy founds out that his grandpa is indeed a special agent when the grandpa starts kicking ass, and the boy is just like 'yea, whatever'. I know, it's a comedy, but this "acting" what I saw in the movie is not funny, it's just simply bad. But by far the worst part is the music. Never in my life have I ever saw a single film before, that had music as bad as this. The music is the same when they just cruising in the car, and when the girl tries to escape the cell she's in, or when they show her face, and trying to show us how frightened she is. It's really a waste of time, i don't recommend watching it.
