I'v seen this movie many times and always enjoy it each time I'v seen it. It has a great cast of Jordan-Claire Green, Lea Thompson, Paul Dooley, Martin Mull, Gregg Russell and many others. In this movie Annie has to spend the summer with her grandpa and she is not happy about since she has her summer planned out of hip hop concerts, internet, parties and friends. Annie stays with her grandpa Donald who hasn't cleaned his house in a while and eats TV dinners. Annie takes his boat out and falls out and after that decides to give grandpa a chance. Annie learns to play chess and drives grandpa's car. Grandpa has to then go to a retirement home and Annie finds the flyer in her mom's purse and Annie now loves grandpa and don't want him to go there so the next day her and her friend Ashley, Gregg and Sonya arrange for Donald and Barney to get facials and they clean up his house. Annie's mom Carol is mad about it at 1st but after a talk with her dad the whole thing made them closer. In the movie Gregg is sad cuz he lost his wife and daughter but Annie makes him feel better and even restores him into singing at the music fest again after all these years. A true delightful movie that I think teens would enjoy the most and understand the most.
