Parental Guidance - Movie Review

Director: Andy Fickman

Writers: Lisa Addario, Joe Syracuse
Producers: Peter Chernin, Billy Crystal, Samantha Sprecher

Stars: Billy Crystal, Bette Midler, Marisa Tomei

The movie Parental Guidance is a comedy about Artie and Diane Decker who agree to watch their grandchildren while their parents go on a business vacation. Artie and Diane and their grandchildren, Harper, Turner and Barker, do not exactly think the same at first. Artie and Diane's parenting styles are very different from those of their daughter's, and their grandchildren are not used to it. As the movie unfolds, a relationship starts to develop between Artie and Diane and their daughter and their grandchildren.

This movie was hilarious and it was definitely a great comedy! The situations that the characters find themselves in are so funny and I don't think there was a scene where I didn't laugh! I was basically laughing the whole time! I know there are lots of comedies that end up being boring and are not funny; this was not one of them!

The movie was funny, but it was also interesting. There was a story, as opposed to those comedies that go on with no point. The characters each had their own personalities and each was likeable in a different way. The acting was great and each actor was perfect for their part!

Overall, this movie was great and if you are looking for something fun and hilarious, I would recommend Parental Guidance! It was a great kids movie, but it was funny regardless of your age. I would watch this movie many more times, and I found it very enjoyable. I definitely suggest watching it!

My Rating:
7/10
