The War With Grandpa

　　阿公，我愛你，但是我們得先打一架！

　　彼得原本很開心阿公要搬來一起住，沒想到阿公竟然搬進了自己的房間，他則是被迫搬到陰森可怕的頂樓！為了搶回房間，彼得匿名「神祕武士」，對阿公下了戰帖。

　　沒想到被激怒的阿公超不好惹，先是冷笑話攻擊，又是在餐桌上、樓梯間，甚至浴室洗手台下，展開一連串激烈的明暗攻防……隨著戰線愈拉愈長，彼得要怎麼奪回心愛的房間呢？

　　其實彼得對老邁的阿公又是生氣、又是心疼，但是除了大打一仗，還有什麼方法可以發洩心中的不滿和委屈？

Don’t miss the laugh-out-loud classic about a boy who leaps into battle when he’s forced to share a room with his grandfather--now a major motion picture starring Robert De Niro, Uma Thurman, Christopher Walken, Jane Seymour, Rob Riggle, Cheech Marin, and Oakes Fegley!

Peter is thrilled that Grandpa is coming to live with his family. That is, until Grandpa moves right into Peter’s room, forcing him upstairs.

Peter loves his grandpa but wants his room back. He has no choice but to declare war! With the help of his friends, Peter devises outrageous plans to make Grandpa surrender the room. But Grandpa is tougher than he looks. Rather than give in, Grandpa plans to get even.

They used to be such great pals. Has their war gone too far?
