Review For Parental Guidance |
This grating family comedy resembles a sitcom in its flat lighting, patronizing music cues, and frames supplying little visual information apart from the actors' mugging faces. Ben Sachs-Chicago Reader
One of those intergenerational embarrassment comedies in the Meet the Fockers line, where children can enjoy seeing grown-ups looking ridiculous. Liam Lacey-Globe and Mail
The family friendliest movie comedy this holiday season is also the sappiest and schmaltziest. And thanks to Billy Crystal, the shtickiest. Roger Moore-McClatchy-Tribune News Service
An extended "in my day" joke intended to convey the superiority of old people over a lot of supposedly contemporary behavior that doesn't actually exist in real life. Chris Packham-Village Voice
After a while it seems to run out of jokes, maybe to make room for all the crying and hug-it-out family redemption in the last half hour. Owen Gleiberman-Entertainment Weekly
I can't deny I did feel fonder of my own family afterward, mostly because I know none of them would ever make me sit through Parental Guidance. Mary F. Pols-TIME Magazine
If 'Parental Guidance' is the drivel that's passing for family fare this winter, then it's best to just keep your family warm and entertained at home. Linda Cook-Quad City Times (Davenport, IA)
... a shameless mix of obnoxious slapstick and relentless bodily-function humor that results in shots to the crotch for Crystal and blows to the brain for moviegoers. Todd Jorgenson-Cinemalogue.com
I don't know if it's reassuring or scary that in such an American film the kids seems to be UK-style victims of both health and safety rules and political correctness at the same time. Graham Young-Birmingham Mail
Poor Crystal. There remains a scintilla of dignity in his sad clown. He may beatbox while wearing wraparound sunglasses, but, thankfully for you and yours, he does not dance the robot. Leah Churner-Austin Chronicle
The underlying issues make for a surprisingly relevant film. Graham Young-Birmingham Post
A yappy pile-up of grandparents-know-best shtick, gross-out bathroom humor and sentimental claptrap. Neil Pond-American Profile
Crystal, Midler and Tomei make a perfect combination for this funny but heartwarming family film Jackie K. Cooper-jackiekcooper.com
A brutal comedy of bad manners ... Philip French-Observer [UK]
Just as ghastly as it sounds. Henry Fitzherbert-Daily Express
A film with little else to commend it from the obvious. Derek Malcolm-This is London
Frankly it all feels a bit obvious, perfunctory and dated. Stella Papamichael-Radio Times
Midler does her best as a put-upon grandma but, ultimately, Parental Guidance feels dated. Grant Rollings-Sun Online
Warm and schmaltzy, Parental Guidance is the movie equivalent of comfort food. It's funny and warmhearted, not terribly ambitious, but it does the things it sets out to do well. Christopher Lloyd-Sarasota Herald-Tribune
Billy Crystal and Bette Midler play dysfunctional grandparents. Ouch, and twice ouch. Nigel Andrews-Financial Times
Shtick-y and utterly synthetic Nell Minow-Beliefnet
Billy Crystal and Bette Midler team up as goofball grandparents in a cheesy, by-the-numbers slice of computer-written family comedy designed primarily as multiplex fodder for the holidays. Jim Schembri-3AW
