Notes		Many Latinos check "White" or "Other" on the Census. So this overlaps with "Mixed" race and "White." Also, when there was a discrepancy with the percentage listed on the Wikipedia table and our calculated numbers, the Wiki table's numbers were used. Likewise, when the population total was missing from the Census pdf, the estimate was calculated using the percentage from the Wiki table. NOTE: It turns out that the reason America doesn't have a separate "Latino" race is because the League of Latin American Citizens protested against discrimination towards Mexicans and got themselves to legally be considered "White." Check the research links in our Google Doc for more info.	If there were any inconsistencies with percentages calculated using our Census data, the Jewish Data Bank percentages were the ones used. Also please review the Jewish Data Bank pdf to understand the difference between the "Core" Jewish population and the "Extended" / "Law of Return" Jewish populations. We are displaying the "Core" Jewish populations since that is what the Jewish Data Bank and Wikipedia articles chose. Also, the 1942 population estimates were used for the 1940 row. For the 2000 estimates, the "Core" definition was not used, so we used the 5.2 mil broader estimate instead of the 4.3 mil estimate since the 5.2 broader estimate seemed too drastic of a drop and the definitions weren't congruent with Core and Law of Return.

Commonsensemedia Rating https://www.commonsensemedia.org/movie-reviews/the-war-with-grandpa last updated: 2024-10-26Update data
Educational 0/5	Intended to entertain rather than educate.
Message 3/5	Positive message about value that relationship with grandparents can add to kids'/people's lives. Also a lesson about why war/violent conflict resolution should always be avoided.
Role model 1/5	While Grandpa does engage in "war" with his grandson, he never reacts to the pranks and sabotage with yelling. No diversity of note within main characters/cast.
Violence 3/5	Slapstick live-action violence that would result in serious injury or even death in real life: being electrocuted and multiple falls from high places onto hard surfaces. A "fight "involves a lot of swinging and food being thrown. Remarks about a bully punching a kid in the face. A woman tackles and threatens a minor with her fist but doesn't actually hit him.
Sex 1/5	It's implied that a teen couple is interrupted while kissing, but actual kissing isn't shown. A man's pants are accidentally pulled off; glimpse of his underwear from the backside.
Language 2/5	Language includes "wiseass," "hell," "suck," "dummy," and the word "booby trap" being turned into "boobies." A kid says "shut up" and is instantly reprimanded by a younger child that "shut up is a bad word." Some bathroom humor.
Consumerism 2/5	Brands and stores featured positively include Fry's Electronics, Skyzone, Nissan Pathfinder, and Lyft.
Drugs 2/5	Adults spike their own drinks with hooch from a flask.
Dove Rating https://dove.org/review/21656-the-war-with-grandpa/
Faith 0/5	Secular, no mention of God or Bible.
Integrity 3/5
Sex 1/5	Couple kisses in a long shot.
Language 2/5	h-3, a-1, d-1, 3 omg's, often saying "god", “Holy heck,” several notions that the character will say the f-word, but changing it last minute, vulgar words/phrases like "Welcome to hell", "suck", "boobies", etc.
Violence 2/5	Man gets kicked and pelleted with food by senior citizens, three adults hoist a teen into a trash bin, mom tackles a teen boy, multiple accidents happen in this film.
Drugs 1/5	Possible alcohol in a glass.
Nudity 1/5	Implied, hidden nudity as pants fall down.
Other 0/5	None

Review Title

Rating*

Rating is just the typical 5 star rating you'd give the film like you'd see on any other review site.

Support*

Support is a boycott suggestion and is meant to be a way for us to consolidate our efforts in “voting with our dollars.” Obviously, Hollywood has proven that they will sacrifice profits for the sake of their agenda, but they’re not as monolithic as you’d think. And people still respond to incentives.

So the 3 options are:

Pay to watch:

This movie is worth your time, and you should support the creators financially so we get more content like it.

Watch it AND give them money.

Watch if free:

The show is entertaining, but you shouldn’t reward the creators for whatever reason. Perhaps you don't want to support preachy celebs who hate their fans. Or maybe you enjoy superhero movies and nostalgia bait, but don't want to encourage Hollywood to continue making them in such a high ratio.

That’s when you’d click the “Watch Now” button and choose from one of the “Free” links:

( Use at your own risk. ZeitgeistReviews does not endorse any of the links and we don’t condone piracy. And we definitely discourage you from using this Reddit thread that shows you all of the places to pirate movies & tv. )

Watch it BUT don’t give them money.

Skip it:

This means the movie wasn’t even worth your time. Maybe it's so full of Woke crap that you’ll want to pull your hair out half way through. Or it could simply just be a piece of s**t, and not in a "so bad it's good" kind of way.

Don’t watch it AND don’t give them money.

( Note: We have expanded our site from just TV & Movies. Now we have games and will add music/books/etc. So the wording might change but the sentiment is still the same for every "Support" section. )

Review text*

Note: Please wrap spoilers [spoiler] like this. [/spoiler]

Neo-Marxism

Neo-Marxism, (sometimes referred to as "Cultural Marxism"), rates the amount of fanatic egalitarianism in a film. Consider this mainly a rating for anti-nationalist and anti-capitalist themes.

Feminism

Strong and multidimensional female characters are fine. This is mainly referring to girlboss crap, unrealistic Mary Sue content, and/or egregious scenes of manhood being disparaged.

Affirmative Action

Affirmative Action rates how much "diversity" is being pushed. ( Not true diversity, but the anti-White checklist kind.)

Gay Stuff

Gay Stuff rates the amount of non-tradional sexuality depicted.

Fedora Tipping

Fedora Tipping rates the amount of atheism / Scientism™ in a film.
