I am writing this review because I just read the critic's review on this site, and I think they must have been in the wrong theater. Parental Guidance was great. It was one of those movies where a lot of people stayed through the credits, wanting more. The story was great: modern, fresh, often with clever dialogue. The acting, especially Billy Crystal and Bette Midler, was terrific. The ending was awesome. Everyone of all ages will like it. And the movie was clean: you can take your young kids.
Pros well paced, great story, great actors, modern and fresh
Yes, I recommend this movie.

This movie was not only funny, brilliant, and poignant. It was wonderful too.
This is the best movie Billy Crystal has done since "When Harry Met Sally" and it is definitely one of the best Marisa has ever done. Bette was great also.
This movie deserves all the kernels. The only people who wouldn't agree are those who don't like kids or parents or grandparents. But if you do, don't miss this movie.
Pros well paced, great story, great actors, funny, poignant
Cons curmudgeon won't like it
Yes, I recommend this movie.

You can't get too far off track with Billy Crystal and Bette Midler, both with good comedic instincts and freshly lifted faces. And adorable kids. Everything about the movie is a bit over the top, exactly what you would expect and a pleasant way to spend less than two hours.
Pros pleasant
Yes, I recommend this movie.

My 9 & 10yo, my parents, my inlaws, husband and I watched it today! We all loved it. Good humor, fun story.
I was a little skeptic because I had seen on other sites reviews of only 2 star rating. Everyone in the theater was laughing, some shed a few tears and warmed your heart...all while chuckling at the same time! Great family movie!!
Pros well paced, great story, great actors
Yes, I recommend this movie.
