If you liked The War with Grandpa, try

BingeNext's take

If you’re looking for a lighthearted family comedy that brings a lot of laughs without any heavy drama, The War with Grandpa is a great pick. It’s about a kid named Peter who’s excited to have his grandpa move in, until Grandpa takes over his room and Peter ends up stuck in the attic. What follows is a playful battle between the two that’s funny and sweet, especially with Robert De Niro playing Grandpa and a solid supporting cast including Uma Thurman and Rob Riggle. The movie feels like a warm, silly family showdown that’s easy to watch with kids or anyone who enjoys a good, old-fashioned prank war. It’s a fun way to spend just over an hour and a half, especially if you like movies that mix a bit of mischief with heart. Fans of movies like Home Alone 2 or Despicable Me 4 will probably enjoy this one too.
