    Parental Guidance

    Loved it! It was so funny. My husband and I enjoyed it so much. It was a funny clean movie. I don't think there was a single curse word in the whole movie. A pleasant change from most movies you watch today! We could totally relate to the characters in the movie.

    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!

    Fun family movie, but predictable

    Movie was good, clean, family fun, and you will enjoy the characters. However, found it slow to warm up and story line predictable and nothing new. I expected the actors to blend better, together. Each actor was great in his or her own right, but felt forced as a team. You may prefer to save money and see at home; the big screen didn't add anything for the movie.

    Good family movie

    Certainly not an Academy Award winner but it was a very funny movie and somewhat true for the younger generation. The cast did a great job and we recommend this for all ages.

    Great Family Movie

    I am not a movie critic I just know what I enjoy watching. This movie has something for every member of the family. Its funny, sad and a story that we can all relate to.

    Good family fun

    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!

    A feel good family movie

    This is a movie for the whole family. It has funny moments, sad moments, and serious moments and it has a lot of real life situations. If you want to take your children to see a movie, I would take them to this one!

    I went to see this movie with a friend and we enjoyed it immensely. t is about relationships between the generations. It has a great cast including Bette Middler and Billy Crystal as the grandparents. Great for all audiences. Take your kids.

    Below Average Comedy

    by

    As a comedy I will give this an "average" rating, but as a mild heartwarming story of a mother and a son reconnecting with one another on an authentic level, I would give it a "go" rating.

    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.

    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.

    Fun Family Movie

    I attended this movie with my daughter and granddaughter. We all enjoyed it! The beginning was a bit slow but after that it was light, well acted and current. My daughter felt that it had some of the ingredients that our family has. I would suggest this as a great movie to experience with your extended family that leaves you feeling happy and a bit more connected!

    Parental Guidance

    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.
