Just ok

by ninahines

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.

Good family movie

by Pale9621

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.

Perfect for the season

by rubios_us

This was a decent movie that made the whole family both laugh and cry. We expected a poor movie based on the ratings, but as usual, the ratings never do a movie justice.

Parental Guidance

by paulandann

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

by MovingPicX13

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.

Cute story line but the acting was atrocious

by kimmquilt

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.

GOTTA SEE IT!

by jenny_aston

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!

Who's Parental Guidance?

by Another_movie_critic

Great family movie for all. Easy to identify with the characters. The plot is simple, but realistic. (I would love to have that house!) One set of grandparents is preferred over the others. When Bette Midler realizes it's not her, it becomes a great challenge. We all have our own way of raising children. but, who's way is right? This movie will make you laugh. It also made us (my brother and I) cry, but I won't give away the moment. I would definitely recommend it as a "Must Go!" In fact, I'm going to go see it again with the grand kids!

Movie you can actually watch with kids.

by monica-88

I took my 12 and 4 y/o boys to watch this movie. I did laugh more than they did, but my 12 y/o said he enjoyed it too. I guess I got more of the humor than he did. It was a clean and family oriented movie with a nice life lesson to take with you. I loved Crystal/Midler and kids were adorable.
