Parental Guidance Movie Synopsis & Plot
Old school grandfather Artie (Billy Crystal), who is accustomed to calling the shots, meets his match when he and his eager-to-please wife Diane (Bette Midler) agree to babysit their three grandkids when their type-A helicopter parents (Marisa Tomei, Tom Everett Scott) go away for work. But when 21st century problems collide with Artie and Diane’s old school methods of tough rules, lots of love and old-fashioned games, it’s learning to bend – and not holding your ground – that binds a family together.
MOVIE REVIEW
The last time Billy Crystal starred in a major live-action movie, the United States had yet to invade Iraq. The Internet bubble had just burst. And the movie in question was the unfortunate sequel Analyze That. Times have changed since then. Comedy has changed. But Billy Crystal hasn't changed, and it shows in his new film Parental Guidance, now on DVD and Blu-ray.Read our Parental Guidance movie review »
