Parental Guidance



Parental Guidance (PG) 2012


Directed by Andy Fickman


Starring:  Billy Crystal, Bette Midler, Marisa Tomei, Tom Everett Scott,Bailee Madison, Joshua Rush, Kyle Harrison Breitkopf, Jennifer Crystal Foley, Gedde Watanabe, Rhoda Griffis, Madison Lintz and Brad James


Here We Go:  Billy Crystal, Bette Midler and Marissa Tomei headline a talented cast that delivers a funny and entertaining movie.  Crystal and Midler are the grandparents that are called in to babysit their grandchildren at the last minute.  Their daughter (Tomei) has a decidedly "modern" parenting attitude and doesn't believe in the "old school" parenting style of her parents.  Of course, the styles clash and we watch the family learn (through various funny and sometimes dramatic scenes) that both styles of parenting can be effective.  This one won't win any Oscars and the plot is predictable but its a movie that is simply supposed to entertain and it does just that.  


Bottom Line:  Watch it.
