The War with Grandpa stars Robert de Niro, Uma Thurman, Rob Riggle, Oakes Fegley, Laura Morano, Jane Seymour and Christopher Walken)

Peter (Fegley) and his Grandpa Jack (De Niro) used to be very close, but when Grandpa moves in with the family. Peter is forced to give up his most prized possession, his bedroom. Peter will stop at nothing to get his room back, scheming with his friends to devise a series of pranks to drive him out. But Grandpa doesn’t give up easily and before long it’s an all out war!
