Loved this movie! Keeps your interest, full of laughs and is a wonderful movie!

Good family fun

by regentsc

It's not edgy. Stuff doesn't blow up. There are no animated characters or talking animals. That
said, "PG" is some good-hearted fun for the family set. And the kids are all great!

Billy Crystal back, at last.

by

Billy Crystal and Bette Midler play grandparents of kids whose parents just can't let go of control. The grandparents find the kids living in the sterile environment that faces many kids these days: Not keeping score, not eating sweets, etc. They bring a refreshing attitude to the house and win the hearts of everybody in the process...almost everybody. Funny throughout, and not the lazy slapstick comedy of the day/ Good for all ages, great for the whole family.

True comedy

by dragontech2210

I wasn't real high on this movie when I saw the previews at first, but it turned out to be a pleasant surprise. I had forgotten how good of an actor Billy crystal was. I think I would have chosen a different actress for the grandmother though. The child actors were good and funny in there own way. If you are looking for something to do like I was grab a few tickets to this movie. It is well worth the money.

Best movie

by vernaelvisp

This movie is a must see for people who like a good clean funny movie. Don't know when I have laughed so much and been so amused at antics like portrayed in this movie. Will go again and buy it when it comes out on DVD.

Parental Guidance

by hohn

It was much better than I anticipated. I love Billy Crystal and Bet Midler and was looking for something funny and light. It was so much more. Would encourage any age to see it.

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!

by LorryLou

My husband and I went to see this movie on New Years Eve. I really liked it. There were laughs and there were tears, and of course, the happy ending.While the movie is rated PG, I don't think that my 7 yr old grandson would have sat still through it. Not enough real "kid stuff" in it. However, all the adults in the theatre totally related! Bette Midler and Billy Crystal are a great combo!
I would watch it again!

Thought it was meh, but my kids liked it

by ellebe52

After promising to take my kids (8 and 5) to a movie, we settled on the only one showing currently, Parental Guidance. I didn't know anything about it so my husband and I watched the trailer. Turns out the trailer shows every single funny bit, so for us, we were pretty bored as the movie limped along in between funny bits. The kids thought it was funny, though, and I have to admit that the ending redeemed itself and I even got a little teary. So all-in-all, not bad, but not the best "family" film I've seen this year.

Good family movie

by

We went as a family to watch this movie. It was appropriate for kids and adults. There were some adult references, but it left it to the imagination and nothing kids would get. There were funny moments, cute and some touching moments. Billy Crystal is really funny in this movie, and the kid who,plays Barker is also funny. The kids were laughing out loud during the movie. Recommend taking your kids to see it.

Great family time!

by thickey

Our family of 4 saw Parental Guidance this past weekend. What fun! It is a hilarious movie, and did not contain unnecessary inappropriate language or attire. We had a blast, and laughed through the whole thing from start to finish! Movies do n ot have to be inappropriate to be funny! Do you and your family a favor and spend time to see this movie. You won't be sorry!
