Peter Falk plays an eccentric grandfather who is an expert at telling wise tales and captures the hearts of his grandchildren, but his own son (Tim Daly) resents not having his father around when he grew up. When the grandson (Josh Hutcherson) helps his grandfather escape the boredom of the retirement home and accompanies his grandfather on cross-country odyssey, his father follows to get them back. This leads to a new understanding of their family relationship for all.

Somewhat bittersweet, but quite engaging, “Wilder Days” is a heartwarming and lighthearted family film and another quality TV presentation from TNT and Johnson & Johnson. “Wilder Days” will make its premiere on TNT on Sunday, October 19, 2003, at 8pm (ET/PT) with encores as follows:
