For the second weekend in a row, it’s family time at the multiplex. But that “Ft” tag is true on both levels since Love On The Rocks was an adult “dramedy” and Eternal Beauty was a dark tale of conflict and tragedy. The latter focused on sisters while the former featured a “caper” involving a father (and grandfather) and his daughter (also a mother). This new flick almost wears its “PG” rating as a beacon welcoming in “all ages”. It does concern three generations of a family, and it’s a comedy full of “gross-out” gags, slapstick pratfalls, and elaborate pranks to appeal to the tots and “pre-teens” weaned on annual holiday reruns of the Home Alone movies. Oh, but things aren’t all “tears and hugs” as the youngest lad in this household starts The War With Grandpa.

Netflix has released an obscured Twitter first look at the super-hero cast of The Umbrella Academy, its forthcoming adaptation of the comic book series by Gerard Way and Gabriel Bá.
Ellen Page, Aidan Gallagher, Tom Hopper, David Castaneda, .Robert Sheehan, Emmy Raver-Lampman, T.J. McGibbon and Adam Goldley star in the series from Universal Cable Productions, with appearances by Mary J. Blige, Cameron Britton, Colm Feore and Cameron Brodeur.
The series will adapt the first storyline of the multiple-part books, which takes part in an alternate history where John F. Kennedy was never assassinated. In the story, Sir Reginald Hargreeves (aka The Monocle), an extraterrestrial who is disguised as a wealthy entrepreneur, adopts seven super-powered children and trains them to save the world.
The heroes include Spaceboy, The Kraken, The Rumor, The Séance, Number Five, The Horror (Ben Hargreeves), and The White Violin.
Page’s Vanya is the black sheep of her dysfunctional family. She’s the only one of Reginald Hargreeves’ adopted children with no supernatural abilities. A meek and insecure wallflower, Vanya struggles to find her place in the world.
Steve Blackman (Fargo) will serve as executive producer and showrunner on the series, which originated with a pilot script written by Jeremy Slater (The Exorcist). Bluegrass Television as well as Mike Richardson and Keith Goldberg from Dark Horse Entertainment also executive produce. Gerard Way will serve as co-executive producer.
