TICKET SARASOTA
By Christopher
★★---Warm and schmaltzy, “Parental Guidance” is the movie equivalent of comfort food. It’s funny and warmhearted, not terribly ambitious, but it does the things it sets out to do well. Billy Crystal and Bette Midler star as young-ish grandparents struggling to reconnect with their grandkids while watching over them for a week. They’re a winning onscreen match, trading a few snipes but with strong base of love and affection underneath. It seemed like just yesterday Crystal was a romantic leading man, and now he’s riffing as a Borsch Belt grandpa. Yes, “Parental Guidance” is pretty forgettable wholesome entertainment. But this is an amiable family-friendly comedy with an impish streak — a bear hug coupled with a few head noogies. [link]
