2003 Directed by David Mickey Evans
Quixotic old codger James "Pop Up" Morse (Peter Falk) enjoys spinning colorful yarns for his 11-year-old grandson, Chris (Josh Hutcherson). But the boy's uptight, no-nonsense dad, John (Tim Daly), disdains Pop Up's fantasy world. Believing that John is stifling his son's imagination, Pop Up bolts from his nursing home and sets out on an adventurous cross-country road trip with Chris (sans John's permission) in this made-for-TV family drama.

Another TV Movie starring Columbo with a kid that I watched with my Mum.
In the same year as Tim Burton did "Big Fish," our most loveable TV detective dabbled in similar territory with fun, albeit a little corny results. But, it also has Peter Falk in "In-Laws" mode, which is just as joyful (and certainly as playful) as his most popular character.
Has some hilarious, almost spoof-level spelling out of plot points. Worthy of “Walk Hard.”

I feel like there were several missing transitions. Maybe this would have been better with commercial breaks, so the audience might forget that the script in no way explains how we got from one scene to another.
old man with dementia kidnaps grandson and yaps nonsense. police and father do nothing
must a movie be good? is it not enough just to see josh hutcherson and peter falk share the screen for an hour and half?
