Saturday Movies: Parental Guidance (2012)

Parental Guidance is a feel-good family movie, so it's probably going to be more disliked than liked. There are some moments that are silly for kids and there is humor mixed in for adults, so adults will cringe at the humor intended for the kids and the kids will be confused by the humor for the adults. There is a cute ending though and it deals with the very true topic in today's world of how different an age gap can make two groups of people.

When Artie and Diane's daughter needs to leave town with her husband to support him in receiving a reward for work she enlists them to watch her children, but their style of parenting difference vastly from hers, which borders on overbearing. So when they spend a week it is difficult for their daughter to let go and leave but when she does the grandparents are having to find a way to merge their old way of parenting with the new way of parenting that her daughter practices for her children.
