I finally watched this movie in its entirety, and I'm so happy I did. I knew I was going to like it, but it went beyond my expectations. Grandma's House is the story of a teenager named Kimberly (Coco Jones). When her mom (Wendy Racquel Robinson) starts drinking excessively after having marital problems with her stepfather, she goes to live with her grandmother, Margie (Loretta Devine), who operates a foster home. She exercises tough love. Anyone who was raised old school will recognize the phrases she uses and the comments she makes. The kids she fosters think she's too strict, but she cares about and loves them deeply. She's dedicated to instilling values and guiding them from making poor decisions. It's a movie that really exemplifies how grandmothers play such a pivotal role in transferring wisdom to their grandchildren. What it all comes down to, is whether or not they listen. Kimberly thinks her grandma is overreacting when she tells her that her boyfriend just wants to have sex. She also thinks she's overprotective for not allowing her to be who she is and live her life. Of course, she finds out the hard way (thankfully, it wasn't too bad, just kind of awkward) that her grandma was right about her boyfriend. She refuses his advances. That's definitely not something you would see in a Hollywood production. Secular films always show teens doing risky activities with little to no consequences, and I can't stand watching anything that's unrealistic and silly. Christian movies depict how ordinary, everyday people actually live, not a fabricated version. Whenever I review these movies, I try to avoid saying only Christians should watch them. They are for everybody, but... If you're a Christian, the Biblical principles within the dialogue will speak to you more. Overall, it's a beautiful film. Just as a warning, it is a tear-jerker. And yes, it contains elements that aren't suitable for small kids - not just the substance use/abuse, but also violence. However, it's not as graphic compared to a lot of other films that I've seen. Crime dramas on TV are much worse. Grandma's House is appropriate for age 12 and older. Despite it being sad in some places, I could still watch it more than once. A must add to your movie collection, especially if you're a fan of Christian films.

If you don't believe in God, you won't appreciate this movie, it's your choice. If you believe in the man, in money, and all the material things only, is your choice.

This movie has many teachings, but you have to have some awareness to understand that, not everyone can.

Forgiveness, family, love, friendship, spirituality, and I'm not talking about religion, because it's not that so important. Spirituality is much important, and it can be religion if you want, otherwise it's not, and again it's your choice.

Saying that this movie is disgusting means that one is full of hate, and I'm sorry for them, because they are not able to understand that this movie is not talking about religion, even if there's a church, but about their lives. Believe it or not, a day all of us we have to pass a very hard exam, but before that we should learn better what to do and what not to do.

God gave us the free will, so you can decide for yourself... you don't want to follow Jesus, it's your choice, but why are you so angry about this movie? What is wrong with you, my dear teenager?

You gave 1 star and you show clearly how pathetic you are.

I hope that one day you'll find your way, because for now you're lost and pray of not dying now, otherwise the consequences for you will be terrible.

I usually appreciate all films, but I don't watch every kind of movie, for instance I don't like horror.

This movie is really good, well written, acted and shot, and I'm happy I had a possibility to see it.

Recommended, if you believe in something more than the man, otherwise forget it, you'll get angry and your score will be very low, just because this movie talks about God.
