Tim: WE'VE GOT A FAMILY
MOVIE AND THRILLER ON DECK TODAY
WITH CHUCK AND PAM.
THEY'RE REVIEWING "THE WAR WITH
GRANDPA" AND "THE LIE".
IRONICALLY TO ME, THE "WAR WITH
GRANDPA" IS THE FAMILY MOVIE.
Guest: CORRECT.
THAT IS CORRECT.
[LAUGHTER]
Guest: WHO WOULD HAVE THUNK
IT?
Tim: I WOULDN'T HAVE
GUESSED.
Guest: IT'S BASED ON A
NOVEL.
THIS MOVIE HAS BEEN DONE FOR
THREE OR FOUR YEARS PRODUCED BY
MIRAMAX, BUT BECAUSE OF THE
SCANDALS, IT'S BEEN SITTING ON
THE SHELF, SMALL DISTRIBUTION,
101 STUDIOS PICKED UP "WAR WITH
GRANDPA".
LIKE WINE THIS HAS NOT GOTTEN
BETTER WITH YEARS.
ROBERT DE NIRO PLAYS ED, A
LONELY WIDOWER WHO GETS
FORGETFUL.
AND THAT MAKES HIS DAUGHTER,
UMA THURMAN GET WORRIED ABOUT
HIM AND SHE CONVINCED HIM TO
MOVE IN WITH THE FAMILY.
GRANDPA GETS PETER'S ROOM AND
PETER GETS THE ATTIC.
THERE'S RATS AND BATS AND WHO
KNOWS WHAT.
HE'S NOT HAPPY AND DECIDES TO
DECLARE WAR ON GRANDPA BECAUSE
HE WANTS HIS ROOM BACK.
PRACTICAL JOKES ENSUE AND THEY
GET MORE ELABORATE.
AND GRANDPA GETS HIS FRIENDS --
YEAH, YOU KNOW, I'M SURE THAT
EVERYONE HAD A GREAT TIME MAKING
THIS MOVIE.
HOW COULD YOU NOT?
THEY HAD TO KNOW THEY WERE
MAKING A PIECE OF GARBAGE.
THEY HAD TO KNOW THEY WERE JUST
CHECKING IN.
THEY HAD TO KNOW THIS MOVIE
WASN'T GOING TO BE MENTIONED IN
THEIR OBITUARIES WHEN THEY DIE.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY ABOUT
THIS MOVIE.
IT'S A TIME WASTER.
IT HAS A GOOD MESSAGE.
BUT, YEAH.
DEFINITELY WORTH SKIPPING.
Tim: TO ME, WE'RE HEARING
FROM A COUPLE OF ACTRESSES THAT
WE HAVEN'T HEARD FROM IN AWHILE.
JANE SEYMOUR AND UMA THURMAN.
Guest: REMEMBER, THIS IS
THREE YEARS OLD.
Tim: THAT'S PART OF IT.
LET'S MOVE ONTO "THE LIE".
I HOPE IT'S BETTER.
Guest: THAT ONE SHOULD HAVE
STAYED ON THE SHELF.
"THE LIE" IS AN AMERICAN REMAKE
OF "WE MONSTERS" STARRING JOEY
KING AS A TEENAGER WHO IS A BIT
SPOILED AND SHE'S PLAYING HER
PARENTS AGAINST ONE ANOTHER
BECAUSE THEY'RE DIVORCED.
SHE'S BROUGHT BETWEEN THE TWO OF
THEM.
DAD IS A HIPSTER MUSICIAN, COOL
GUY.
HER MOM REBECCA IS A CORPORATE
LAWYER.
CORPORATE LAWYER, HIGH-POWERED
SMART WOMAN.
THE DAUGHTER JOEY HAS TO GO TO A
CAMP IN UPSTATE NEW YORK IN THE
DEAD OF WINTER.
DAD IS DRIVING SHE AND HER
FRIEND TO THE CAMP.
AND ALL OF THE SUDDEN THEY HAVE
TO STOP AND USE THE FACILITIES.
BUT THERE AREN'T ANY.
SO THEY STOP IN THE WOODS.
THE GIRLS EXIT THE CAR.
DAD STAYS IN THE CAR.
THE ONLY ONE TO RETURN IS
KAYLA,S HIS DAUGHTER.
IN A SPLIT SECOND DECISION THEY
DECIDE NOT TO CALL 911.
AND THIS MAKES EVERYTHING GO
DOWNHILL VERY, VERY QUICKLY.
THEY SAY LIES BEGET BUY LIES.
THE LIES THAT ARE TOLD FOR THESE
PARENTS WHO COME TOGETHER TO
SAVE THEIR DAUGHTER IS
EXTRAORDINARY.
IT PUTS YOU INTO THE POSITION AS
TO WHAT WOULD YOU DO TO SAVE
YOUR CHILD FROM SUFFERING THE
RAMIFICATIONS OF INTENTIONALLY
KILLING HER BEST FRIEND?
IT'S -- I THOUGHT IT WAS A
CHILLING STORY AND STAYED TRUE
TO THE GERMAN VERSION OF THIS
FILM.
AND THE END WILL LEAVE YOUR
MOUTH GAPING.
Tim: CHUCK, SHAKING YOUR
HEAD.
Guest: MY MOUTH WAS GAPING
OVER THIS STUPID MOVIE.
IT DOES NOT WORK.
AND I WILL POINT OUT WHY IT DEPT
WORK WHEN WE'RE OFF THE AIR.
THERE'S A SCENE THAT DOESN'T
MAKE SENSE.
IT'S A MANIPULATED PIECE OF WORK
AND LEFT ME UPSET BECAUSE I
LIKED THE FIRST HOUR.
Tim: INTERESTING.
BEFORE WE GET OUT OF HERE,
THERE'S ANOTHER GIVEAWAY ON THE
CHUCK AND PAM FACEBOOK PAGE.
WHAT DO WE GOT?
Guest: FRIDAY, THE SECOND

SPEED RACER'S RIO" APPEARING ON
