Parental Guidance

About this movie

Billy Crystal and Bette Midler star as Artie and Diane -- an old-school grandfather and his people-pleasing wife, who babysit for their three decidedly 21st century grandchildren while the kids' type-A parents (played by Marisa Tomei and Tom Everett Scott) are away for work. Artie's traditional ideas go toe-to-toe with the kids' (and their parents') cutting-edge, multitasking ways, but this modern family comes to learn that love, understanding, and an openness to trying new and old things, will always keep a family together. Andy Fickman directs from a script by Lisa Addario and Joe Syracuse.

Ratings and reviews

It's contrived, boring and the most thoughtless plot line. My younger brother likes is though.

Great fun so enjoyable but remember its a PG. So its parental guidance

Great film I took my son to watch when it came out and laughed all the way
