Leave your thoughts about Parental Guidance.
| Metro Times (Detroit, MI)Corey HallCrystal puts on his game face, and tries to muscle his way past the lousy material, but there's only so much even a natural funnyman can do in a situation like this. |
| honeycuttshollywood.comKirk HoneycuttShouldn't Billy Crystal and Bette Midler demand sharper writing and direction? |
| Village VoiceChris PackhamAn 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. |
| Film Journal InternationalDavid NohSome nice comic points are scored against all those awful, over-indulgent parents turning out new generations of impossible brats, but not enough to compensate for the commercial family slop in which they float. |
| SSG SyndicateSusan GrangerBilly Crystal delivers nostalgic, heartwarming fun for young children, parents and grandparents. |
| CraveOnlineWilliam BibbianiProtests the entitlement of children by shamelessly promoting the entitlement of condescending grandparents. |
| Hollywood ReporterMichael RechtshaffenBilly Crystal and Bette Midler hustle to peddle the threadbare material that makes Andy Fickman's comedy a perfectly tolerable, if uninspired, moviegoing experience. |
| Salt Lake TribuneSean P. MeansA wincingly unfunny family comedy that puts Crystal's overbearing shtick front and center. |
| jackiekcooper.comJackie K. CooperCrystal, Midler and Tomei make a perfect combination for this funny but heartwarming family film |
| Screen InternationalTim GriersonA broad, predictable, feel-good tale about family that duly hits every emotional beat right on schedule. |
