Review of Parental Guidance (2012) by Ellenrebekah A — 28 Apr 2013

I can seriously imagine this movie. It might be dramatized, but it's real.

Mom and Dad want to get away. The Grands who know the program are busy; in come the Grands who tell terrible jokes and have little experience with these kids.

Then the Grands and kids get to know eachother through a few minor disasters, and Mom and Dad get to fix up their own parent/child relationship.

It's sweet. I kind of take issue with the description [on iTunes]: they get stuck babysitting their type-A daughter's over-protected kids. Come on, she's trying to get it all done in whatever way she can see is best. Sure, we need to say "no", but we do also need to communicate with our kids so they hear and help them communicate themselves. Anyway, off the soap box.
