Critic Reviews of "Parental Guidance"
Chicago ReaderJanuary 03, 2013This 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.
Globe and MailDecember 28, 2012One of those intergenerational embarrassment comedies in the Meet the Fockers line, where children can enjoy seeing grown-ups looking ridiculous.
Village VoiceDecember 27, 2012An 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.
Entertainment WeeklyDecember 26, 2012After 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.
TIME MagazineDecember 26, 2012I 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.
Epoch TimesJune 20, 2016A more clichéd, cloying, and predictable treacle fest than 'Parental Guidance' you will not find-if you're an adult. That's why it's a pretty good film for small children!
Windy City TimesJune 27, 2014The kids are mostly a drag and the schmaltz is poured on as thick as maple syrup, but if those by-the-numbers Disney '60s comedies with Suzanne Pleshette and Dean Jones...are your thing, Parental Guidance will warm you up over the holidays
Movie TalkJune 16, 2013The film's gags are predictable and fairly lame, but the stars' diehard fans will enjoy Crystal's snarky one-liners and, yes, Midler's singing.
Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN)March 29, 2013Borscht Belt humor combines with serious schmaltz to produce this gummy formulaic family comedy.
IFilmMarch 14, 2013People with brains they can't turn on and off for 90 minute stretches of holiday family togetherness will be driven to take some kind of painkiller before the final credits roll. Everyone else will be fine
