Watch My Grandpa Detective

My Grandpa Detective is a 2016 Canadian comedy-drama film that tells the story of a retired police officer, who, after witnessing a murder that the local police decide not to investigate, decides to take the case into his own hands, much to the dismay of his family and friends. Stephen Hardy plays Buck, the titular grandpa detective who, despite being retired for some time, is still sharp as a tack and filled with a desire to solve the case. He enlists the help of his granddaughter Jules (played by Glenda Warkentin), who works as a journalist, to both help him investigate and cover the story in the local newspaper. Jules is hesitant at first, but quickly gets swept up in her grandfather's enthusiasm and sense of purpose.

Buck's son Max (Garry Nation) is a lawyer who is constantly worried about his father getting himself into dangerous situations, and his daughter-in-law Cassie (played by Erica Wilson) is more concerned with how Buck's detective work is affecting their social status in their small town. Even his best friend and fellow retiree Charlie (played by Douglas Roy Dack) is skeptical about Buck's abilities to solve a murder case.

The murder victim is a local business owner who has had conflicts with the town's mayor and other prominent figures, leading Buck to suspect foul play. He looks for clues everywhere, from the crime scene to the victim's business, and even the town's cemetery, where he channels his inner Nancy Drew to solve the case. The film is filled with moments of humor as well as tender family moments, as Jules and Buck's relationship grows stronger as they work together to solve the case.

Overall, My Grandpa Detective is a heartwarming film with an endearing cast of characters. Stephen Hardy's performance as Buck is charming and believable, and the ensemble cast supports him well. The film offers commentary on small-town politics and the importance of standing up for what you believe in, no matter your age or status in life. It also reminds us that no one should ever underestimate the power and drive of a determined grandpa.

My Grandpa Detective is a 2016 comedy with a runtime of 1 hour and 36 minutes. It has received moderate reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 5.1.
