The Grump is a man from the past. A man who knows that everything used to be so much better in the old days. Pretty much everything that's been done after 1953 has always managed to ruin The Grump's day. Our story unfolds as The Grump takes a fall from his basement steps, hurting his ankle. He has to spend a weekend in Helsinki to attend physiotherapy. The Grump doesn't like this for four reasons: 1) He has to take a taxi. 2) He can't take daily care of his wife, an Alzheimer's patient. 3) He can't drive, which means he might have to sit in a car with a female driver. 4) He has to spend time with his family. The daughter-in-law is a career woman, not keen to spend time with The Grump when he comes to the city. Her boss has given her the task to look after Russian businessmen supposed to close a major deal over the weekend. It doesn't make her any happier when The Grump decides to help with the deal. Then The Grump has to face his useless son to become the father he never was, teaching his son how to take care of his loved ones. A thing The Grump has never been able to do. And somebody's day will be ruined.

Movie Reviews

Seventh Row - 6/10 by Alex HeeneyIt's honest, funny, and heartbreaking, and I can't wait to see it again.
Guardian - 6/10 by Leslie FelperinLitja and Perankoski are especially funny in the early stages as their mutual frustration with one another comes to a slow boil.
Georgia Straight - 6/10 by Craig TakeuchiAlthough this solid and entertaining domestic comedy takes a while to move beyond predictable generational clashes, the story develops more dynamically after Dad's Achilles' heel is revealed.
Cinemanía (Spain) - 6/10 by Janire Zurbano[Director Dome] Karukoski guides us on a journey of reflection, where distance is not so much geographic, but emotional. [Full review in Spanish]
User Review - 8/10 by John SIn the 1976 Olympics Lasse Viren cemented his place as the premier long distance runner in world with a 5,000 and 10,000m double, matching his 1972 feat. Not much has gone right for Finland since. At least not according to grandpa. Grumpy old men is a long standing comedic device in the film industry, for very good reason. Generation gaps leads to the funny. Throw in country versus city living and we have the knee-slapping funny. Add the futuristic fangled electronic age devices to the mix and the rib-hurting funny ensues. Pretty standard stuff, but there's a nostalgic sadness when grandpa is thrown into modern city life. He's sexist, racist, overbearing and stubborn. And sometimes he's right. Lessons are learned, both from the old man, and from his ultra modern offspring, as classes and generations meet, argue, fight and crash cars. Looking back with rosy glasses, grandpa pines for the good old days, though when the glasses come off we see a history much more complex. In the end, it's not a matter of who is right, and who is wrong, it is just about being, and moving on. - hipCRANK
User Review - 8/10 by Pia KA brilliantly executed film especially in terms of cinematography that at no point settles on just being funny or just being sad but that throughout somehow manages to be both at the same time.
