    Great Family Fun for all generations!

    Great movie for all generations! Not crude like Ben Stiller and Robert De Niro even though I LOVE THOSE MOVIES my father does not so I knew he would love this movie! Modern day family meets old schooled parents...very hip and with he times as it is today! Love the portraying of sports today very very accurate! GREAT MOVIE GO SEE!

    Parental Guidance

    Very good movie. I just always enjoy Bette Midler and Billy Crystal. It was funny, entertaining, full of good jokes...just a feel-good movie. My wife and I are glad we went.

    Cute story line but the acting was atrocious

    I've seen Billy Crystal, Bette Middler and Marissa Tomei in other movies before and had come away with the notion that they were pretty good actors. Maybe it was the story line or maybe they were catering more to an audience of chidren but it seemed like they were forcing every line. Very overdone or maybe it was just poor acting. Of course I didn't pick this movie thinking I would see Oscar performances but these were really disappointing. Like they all phoned it in. Definitely a wait til it comes out in DVD , Blue Ray or on Netflix. I did find some parts very funny and one part quite touching but again because the acting was overdone it was on the whole disappointing.

    Good family movie

    Good family movie for all ages. Billy and Bette both do a good job with their roles and while the story is semi-predicatable, it is still funny.

    A movie for all the family

    by

    Loved, loved, loved this film. No violence or sex. Billy Crystal is hilarious. We and our 12-year old granddaughter laughed so much. Wasn't expecting much; was so pleasantly surprised.

    Just ok

    This movie was just ok. There were no moments that I really felt fully engaged with the movie. I also felt the need to explain to my kids what scenes were not okay for them to ever consider.

    Excellent Movie!

    Parental Guidance was a hysterical "feel good" movie! I would feel safe taking any of my great nieces and nephews to see this. Yet the humor is good enough that my friend and I took the movie in and really enjoyed it ourselves!!

    GOTTA SEE IT!

    Great movie for people of all ages! No violence, sex, drugs, or foul language...quite refreshing for this day and age! It also has a great message about family, "unplugging" and communicating with others! I grew up seeing Bette and Billy in movies...they are as great today as they were then!

    Very funny. We laughed a lot. It was also very touching. I would see it again. I am sure we missed something while we were laughing.

    Parental Guidance is the best family movie for the year

    Very cute for the entire family to see. Everyone plays their roles to the fullest and keeps you smilng. The Farty, peeing and poop needs to be eliminated. It is gross but the children seem to like it. Please don't give them ideas that this is acceptable. Other than that, Thumbs up!

    Genuinely Fun, Funny, Warm and Entertaining.

    A solid film here, populated with A-list talent that doesn't disappoint. You simply can't go wrong with this one, especially if you like to laugh. See it and take the kids along. You'll neither need to cover their eyes or their ears. You'll enjoy it too. This film's a refreshing change from all the horror and ghoulishness that's been infecting theater screens these past months. A little love and kindness goes a long way and this is one of those movies that reminds us of what's really important in our lives.....children and family.

    Parental Guidance

    I went to the movies to have a good time with fun and laugher. And, this movie hit the spot. A wonderful movie for all to see - especially, grandparents and young parents trying to be "perfect" parents. Go see it America, forget your troubles for a few hours.
