Parental Guidance
1st Trailer
Watch It Here
Person of Interest: Billy Crystal and Bette Midler as themselves playing two grumpy grandparents and poor, poor Marisa Tomei as a vanilla mother of three sires.
Scene Pop: Bat to the groin, cause those never go out of style!
Briggs Breakdown: An airport security joke, old people and technology joke, and of course, Man Getting Hit by Baseball Bat.
Effective?: No!
Check it Out?: Dear heavens, hell no! This churned-out tripe wants to get that Christmas green but is more likely going to be in the red. Crystal and Midler look like walking wax statues, completely empty inside. All of the jokes featured are bad sitcom-worthy, relying on stereotypical family life. Also, how can you have a kid's baseball game if everyone gets on base?! Is it just one ultra-long inning? Do they stop after three batters hit?
