The Grump

2014 · 103 min

A gentle, wry culture-clash comedy about an old man's stubbornness, warm and mildly amusing rather than laugh-out-loud.

Overview: A stubbornly traditional eighty-year-old farmer - whose social attitudes verge on the prehistoric - raises hell when he is forced to move in with his sadsack, city-dwelling son and domineering daughter-in-law.
How it feels: Warm, satirical, light and earnest. Measured and easy to follow.
About: Family, aging, identity, class
Content: Mild language. No violence, gore or sexual content.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
