Acting / Characters
The acting is pretty good all-round with the Robert De Niro as Ed, the grandfather and Uma Thurman as his daughter. These two are the best of the adult performers.
Peter (Oakes Fegley) has to give up his bedroom to his grandfather played by Robert De Niro. The film centres around these two and they do have good chemistry and have some funny moments.
The other stand out is Ed’s youngest granddaughter Jenny played by Poppy Gagnon. She in many ways steals the show.
Other noteworthy mentions are Christopher Walken and Jane Seymour.
