Brett Gelman, Kevin Nealon & Rob Morgan Join ‘Mini War’ Comedy
Three recognisable actors—Brett Gelman from Stranger Things, former Saturday Night Live performer Kevin Nealon, and Rob Morgan—have joined the expanding ensemble cast of Mini War, an upcoming comedy feature. The film reunites the creative team behind the stoner comedy cult classic Grandma's Boy, with Joel David Moore directing from a script by Nick Swardson and Allen Covert. The production also features Luke Wilson, Vanessa Hudgens, and Nick Swardson in leading roles.
The comedy centres on Wilson's character Joe, a laid-back stoner who unexpectedly gains ownership of a mini golf facility following his uncle's death. His plans to sell the property become complicated when Swardson's character Darren, who operates a competing go-cart facility nearby, schemes to demolish the mini golf course to expand his business. Gelman is cast as Ned Parker, an investor interested in acquiring the property, whilst Morgan portrays Ruben, the mini golf course manager. Hudgens plays Olivia, who operates a food vendor between the two attractions, with various supporting actors rounding out the eccentric ensemble.

Explained simply
Mini War is a comedy film reuniting the creative team behind Grandma's Boy, a 2006 cult classic stoner comedy. Joel David Moore directs, with Nick Swardson and Allen Covert—who wrote and starred in Grandma's Boy—returning to write and perform in this new project. The ensemble cast features several established television and film actors.
The story follows a man who inherits a mini golf facility from his uncle and plans to sell it, but complications arise when his neighbour, who runs a go-cart business nearby, schemes to demolish the course to expand his operation. The narrative centres on this conflict between the two competing leisure attractions and their associated characters. The supporting cast includes a mini golf manager, a food vendor, and a property investor seeking to acquire the site.
The film's cast includes Luke Wilson in the lead role and Vanessa Hudgens, alongside other recognisable actors from television and cinema. The involvement of established performers suggests the production has gained significant backing. The return of the Grandma's Boy creative team represents an effort to recapture the spirit of that cult classic for a new comedy project.
