    Great Movie for the Whole Family!

    I went to see this movie with my mom and sister. We all thought it was great! We laughed a ton throughout the entire movie and felt a strong emotional connection to it. My mom even got a little teary and some points! I thought it had a great plot and that it's a great movie to see with the entire family.

    I went to see this movie and I really enjoyed the fact there wasn't any foul language in it. It has a good storyline and the actors were really good. If you want a good laugh, go see it.

    The movie as better than the reviews

    The movie had a good story line. It was good for all ages. My daughter thought the movie was funny. My son, said, "not too funny", both did laugh at some parts. The actors were good and it was better than the reviews.

    It's no Uncle Buck

    by

    Not as funny as Uncle Buck, but it was an entertaining movie. Shows how new age parents have no clue and how everyone gets a trophy doesn't work.

    Great family movie! Witty, funny and entertaining! Acting was good and we left the theater feeling wonderful! We brought our guests and they loved it too! We highly recommend this movie as a future Christmas classic!

    Good movie for entertainment

    by jake040

    Just needed a movie to watch for entertainment purposes and laughter. I got both of these in this movie. Some very funny parts and some very touching parts Critics say don't go ... but if I lived my movie watching paying attention to the critics I would have missed A LOT of really good movies.

    a great family movie

    I don't know what the critics are talking about they need to get different jobs cause this movie was funny from start to finish and it had a lot of heart and understanding to how things are different from the way most of us grew up and how it used to be to the way a lot of families and teaching methods are changing and starting to become. In general even just to watch it i think it was a really good movie and i would recommend it to anyone.

    This is one of the funniest movies we have seen in a long time. It's a great family movie. We saw it two days ago and we're still laughing over some of the lines. A must see for any parent or grandparent. Billy Crystal is hilarious !

    Excellent family movie!

    My husband and I see nearly every movie that comes out with the exception of a few that has terrible reviews from both fans AND critics. We almost didn't watch this because of the critics' reviews. Nevertheless, we went to go watch it and it was one of the best movies we've seen recently. Billy Crystal was hilarious and the whole cast was perfect! I laughed, I cried , and made me really value my family even more after watching this movie! I can watch this again!

    Fun holiday movie...no academy awards and not the best Billy Crystal movie ever, but worth a few laughs with a well deserved slap at a too politically correct world.

    Thought the movie was hysterical! Most grandparents probably could relate to it. There were people literally cracking up with laughter and there were a few tears too. Loved, loved the movie. Loved Bette Midler. I know from an interview that it was Billy Crystal's idea and he sure had a great one. Between the two it was hysterical. Any age could watch this.

    Midler and Crystal were Wonderful together!

    This is a very funny family movie with a wonderful cast. I highly recommend it. The chemistry between Crystal and Midler was great. Tomei was funny also.

    Go see it!

thedomnacorda Watched Parental Guidance earlier. It was quite a sweet and moving film, but overall it was lacking.
