Parental Guidance stars Billy Crystal, Bette Midler, Marissa Tomei and Tom Everett Scott and looks like it should have been featured in the 90s with this ensemble cast.
From this trailer, it is easy to deduce what this film is about - crazy type-A personality parents need to leave town and leave their three kids with their grandparents. Parenting styles clash and cause some major (yet comical) issues for the grandparents while caring for the children. Pretty basic storyline but there's nothing wrong with that - sometimes you don't have to mess with the formula to have a successful and well done film.
What makes this film look decent is the cast. You can't go wrong with Bette Midler and especially Billy Crystal in a family comedy. They are sure to provide some great laughs. Team that up with the holiday release date (December 25th to be exact) and you're sure to have a decent holiday hit on your hands. Bravo, 20th Century Fox. Bravo.
On a further look into this upcoming film, I have discovered that Billy Crystal was part of the writing team behind this film. Only more reason to believe it will actually be a decent comedy.
This one won't make the Winter 2012 (2013 essentially) list but I would definitely watch it next Christmas when it is released on DVD. (Though that's not saying much as I am OBSESSED with any and all Christmas themed films - but still, it looks funny).
If you check it out this holiday season - let us know what you think!
