Bad comedy with some jokes... it is sad how Billy Crystal fell so low in his career. When you see how the grandparents are reacting - you sense how both Billy and Bette are forcing the jokes. Recycled humor and retired actors that should enjoy it - Avoid!

Very bad movie. Seriously. It was pain to watch it. Could be ok if you're under 15 or over 60. But avoid if you are in between because it hasn't been made for you.

Pretty good one to see on a saturday nite. Enjoyable family movie. Each and every character is so realistic in a way that affects everyday lives that lots can so realate too.

Watched this with my daughter, we both really loved it, a must see for sure, laughed till I cried with the bathroom scene where barker had to go to the bathroom, and farty had to sing to make the kid go, hilarious...

I saw this movie with my 9-year old son. We both had a few laughs, but there were many gaping holes in the plot and the movie did not live up to its potential.

Funniest movie I've seen in a very long time! Really hits home for all generations.
| 10/10 | doditi@ - 18 reviews 27.2.2013 - age: 50+ |
A great movie for the whole family! Humour suited for both kids and adults. Funny, quirky, sweet and heart-warming!
| 8/10 | cascanej@ - 37 reviews 24.2.2013 - age: 18-25 |
Just a funny and touching family movie. Great for all ages and Billy Crystal is always a riot. It's a great take on parenting today and back in the day and how it's possible to reconcile these generational gaps. Of course, the comedy if foremost as well as really consistent and Billy Crystal, as always, delivers top notch one-liners. Something for everyone in this film and certainly worth taking the whole family to see.

There were times when I was laughing and other times when I was almost in tears. I really enjoyed it and it is so applicable to today and back in the day. Great feel good movie. I think it would be great for everyone, there were tons of kids in the show as well.
| 9/10 | kimdg@ - 2 reviews 17.2.2013 - age: 26-35 |
I liked that this movie was good for all age groups. The movie theatre was full of families including restless young children. It was funny, really funny in parts, and a surprisingly tearful moment toward the end.

Good family movie, kids will probably like it better than the adults. Liked promotion of family time, but thought film supported view that more time with kids could get rid of serious issues unrealistic.

Sooo funny I lol my pants off mmuusstt sseee movie! No dout about it! Good for family! Btw your feet smell like chesse! 100% good!!! :):):):):):):):):)

This is a great family movie! Like the title, it should be rated PG, so bare with me for this scene in the movie. You see about literally 5 seconds of the Saw movie. There are no killings, but it will be frightening for the children, just the way Jigsaw enters into our view.
| 9/10 | chw@ - 262 reviews 5.2.2013 - age: 13-17 |
I haven't seen Bett Midler and Billy Chrystal in a movie in so long and from the beginning to the end I cried and laughed so much, I'm actually bringing my girlfriend to see it on Friday. Can't wait till it comes out on DVD.
| 10/10 | gail@ - first review 30.1.2013 - age: 36-49 |
Great movie for all ages! It was a cute and touching show... it brought a few happy tears to my eyes! Having 3 kids of my own it was very relatable. Many funny scenes as well.
| 8/10 | kathy@ - 4 reviews 27.1.2013 - age: 36-49 |
Excellent movie. A group of us went & all thought it was amazing. Definitely a must see movie for all ages. I will buy it when the DVD is available.

I love this movie, me and my best friends went and we are going to see it again, what a funny movie one of the bests!!! My grandparents went to go see it too, they loved it, it is a must see!!!

I went to see the movie with my 71yr old daddy and 19 yr old son and we liked it a lot. We loved Billy Cristal doing his thing and Bette played it her role very well. It's a good, clean family movie.
| 7/10 | debverge@ - 10 reviews 22.1.2013 - age: 36-49 |
This must-see, family-friendly comedy is a hit! With hysterical jokes to beautiful, emotional moments, this movie brings back the good old days. If you're looking for a movie that you won't regret taking your family to, this is the one to see. With all of the horror and violence in movies these days, it's hard to know what's kid friendly. This is one of the movies you know that you have to take your kids to.
| 10/10 | ljk7341@ - first review 20.1.2013 - age: 26-35 |
I just love comedy, and this comedy is like the best comedy I ever saw. I would love to see it again. I gave that movie a 9 because it doesn't make me laugh, but most of the funny parts make me laugh very, very and very hard.
| 9/10 | marina.semenova@ - first review 18.1.2013 - age: 1-12 |
Every grandparent with kids who have 21st Century ideas of raising kids, should go and see it... it really 'hits home'... I had a feeling Billy Crystal would have something to do with the writing of it --and he did.
| 9/10 | lucyknight1910@ - first review 17.1.2013 - age: 50+ |
Our kids 11, 13, 8 really thought it was funny and really liked it, they laughed all the way through it and so did we.
| 9/10 | bats4@ - first review 16.1.2013 - age: 36-49 |
This movie was hilarious... I have not laughed so much in a long time. It also had sentimental moments that made me cry. I will definitely buy this movie when it comes out on DVD.
| 9/10 | msearles@ - first review 15.1.2013 - age: 50+ |
It makes you laugh... no violence... Billy and Bette are always entertaining and that is what I want once in awhile and you don't have to be grandparents just parents, p. s. I really enjoyed Django so I am not a whooz.
| 8/10 | kbureau@ - first review 15.1.2013 - age: 50+ |
It was funny and you could see the difference between parenting of different generations.
| 8/10 | k_lspence@ - first review 15.1.2013 - age: 36-49 |
The great divide between the older & younger generation in how to raise kids is very, very real. Nice clean humour for the whole family with little bits of wisdom tucked in there for good measure. Bette & Billy are great together. Enjoyed no shooting or killing. Nobody died!! Imagine that in a movie today! Very unique.
| 7/10 | cmcky643@ - 12 reviews 15.1.2013 - age: 50+ |
The movie was not as funny as I expected. It reminded me a bit of Cheaper by the Dozen.
| 6/10 | eric.nawar@ - 8 reviews 15.1.2013 - age: 18-25 |
Went and saw this movie with my 2 girls aged 8 & 12 and their friends. We all loved it. Very good clean nice story! A real feel good movie!

A good comedy for all ages, kids were so funny, go see it with the family.
| 8/10 | hdmorenos@ - 47 reviews 14.1.2013 - age: 36-49 |
A hilarious comedy. Made me laugh out loud in the cinema. I enjoyed it throughly. I cannot wait to watch it again.
| 8/10 | alscott@ - 2 reviews 13.1.2013 - age: 13-17 |
I like how they portrayed the grandparents, as one set being good and the other not so cool, very real in true life.
| 9/10 | cyndiloumeek@ - first review 13.1.2013 - age: 50+ |
This movie was so funny, the actors were their best!
| 10/10 | snowflake@ - first review 12.1.2013 - age: 13-17 |
This was a really good, feel good family movie. It had lots of good laughs.
| 9/10 | army_and_trucker@ - 291 reviews 10.1.2013 - age: 36-49 |
Was disappointed. Had been looking forward to seeing it.
| 6/10 | gail@ - first review 9.1.2013 - age: 50+ |
A nice family movie. Seen way too many of these lately. Enjoyed the movie, was a nice night out with the wife. Went to see another movie but it was sold out so we settled. Not a wasted trip but could have watched it on the couch at home for alot less cash.
| 7/10 | pepper_k@ - 10 reviews 9.1.2013 - age: 36-49 |
I went to the theatre hoping to see the Silver Linings Playbook, but it was sold out. Parental Guidance was the only thing (other than Texas Chainsaw Massacre) available. That being said, it was fairly entertaining. I thought the jokes were predictable and the acting so-so. I'd save this for a rental on a rainy night - or skip altogether if the trailers don't catch your interest. My friend (40+ female) enjoyed the movie more than I did.
| 7/10 | jsottawa2001@ - 45 reviews 8.1.2013 - age: 50+ |
Excellent film! We need more movies of this genre. Hey, no swearing! :) How about that for a change. My wife and I loved it! Well done.
| 9/10 | jzslvzu@ - 34 reviews 7.1.2013 - age: 50+ |
Real funny!! But typical story... still worth seeing just for the Mr. doody song.
| 7/10 | elie33@ - first review 7.1.2013 - age: 13-17 |
Very funny! A must see for all families looking for humor!
| 10/10 | defender88@ - 2 reviews 7.1.2013 - age: 1-12 |
Good funny movie, it made me laugh often. Great acting by Billy Crystal and Bette Midler; the kids were rather exaggerated at times but then again they're kids. Never a dull moment, lively from start to finish.
| 8/10 | tim.christine@ - 4 reviews 7.1.2013 - age: 36-49 |
What a great movie! Bette and Billy were awesome together! The story line was hilarious and the acting by everyone was fantastic... Go see this movie, you won't regret it!
