Great Family Movie

by

We went to see this Christmas day and what a fantastic movie. We laughed out load and cried and it was just the best family movie. No violence, sex, fowl language...just a great story about family and love! Great movie. MUST SEE!

Good Holiday Flick

by Jelly2325

We enjoyed it. Time well spent. I was never a Billy Cystal fan. However, this movie is an exception. Gotta love Bette. We laughed and cried. A feel good for the Holiday season.

Funny and heartwarming, but takes awhile to get going

by BoroAviator

The first half hour is slow. The middle is pretty good, and it really comes together well at the end. Definately worth seeing. Once Billy Crystal and the kids catch their rhythym, it really gets good. I genuinely liked the kids and the grandparents (Crystal/Middler). Marissa was disappointing.
This movie is certainly worth a few hours, on a Sunday afternoon, at the movies.

Lots of Laughs!!

by TooSlowMilo

One of Billy Crystal's best roles - he was made for the part. Loved the premise of old-school vs new-school as it played out in marriage, parenting, and careers (subtle statement about out times) and how each has it's strengths and weaknesses. Well done and tons of fun.

corny feel good movie

by coder01

If the Mrs wants to see this it won't be the most painful experience. Actually our 13 year old and I did enjoy it , my wife really enjoyed it. This could certainly be a wait and watch at home. Not much missed by waiting for this one.

Parental Guidance Delivers

by harvick29

It is so rare in this day and age when you can take the whole family to a non-animated film and everyone , from oldest to youngest , has a good time. Parental Guidance is one of those rare gems. It is a funny , touching , and very entertaining movie that the whole family will enjoy and talk about afterwards. I rarely recommend movies as much as I do this one - go see it!

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 !

It's a warm, inspirational story told by great actors. It is perfect for all ages from children to grandparents; there were no trashy words nor bizarre scenes. I hope this movie has a long life!

Parental Guidance

by AmmieJudy

This was a great family movie with strong family values throughout the dialog that was inspiring and really a good thing for children. Our entire family went and enjoyed it immensely. We all commented that there should always be these type of movies as an option for parents. Better than cartoons or animated shows that sometimes bore the parents to death. These are real people with real life stories. No violence. All around Great.

a great family movie

by FirstTimer1318546

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.

GREAT MOVIE!

by

Fantastic movie! I normally have a hard time sitting still in a movie but I was in my seat until the end of this one. Super funny! Nice family story line. Makes you think about your own marriage, parenting, and relationship with your parents as adults. Highly recommend!

I was pleasantly surprised by this film. It has a wonderful storyline. It looks at the differences between old school and new school methods of raising children today. It has many funny scenes and some very touching ones as well. The acting is fine and the story moves along well throughout the film. I thought the director did a good job of keeping the story relevant and on track. This is one for the entire family to go and see together. So load up the kids and make your way to the theater and have a wonderful night out at the movies.

Cute Family Movie

by robbysmama2001

Billy Crystal is very funny as Grandpa "Farty" in this movie. It's a heartwarming story of grandparents and grandchildren coming together and getting to know eachother and love eachother. It also shows us how anal and out of touch the parent generation is today with over scheduling their children and giving their children everything they want, instead of giving them TIME and love, which is all children really want and need.

I would recommend the movie and will be getting it on DVD when it comes out. : )
