POST#53: PARENTAL GUIDANCE!!



Hi guys! Today we're talking about Parental Guidance. It's a really AWESOME movie! I highly recommend seeing the movie. Parental Guidance (previously titled Us & Them) is a 2012 American comedy film starring Billy Crystal, Bette Midler, Marisa Tomei and Tom Everett Scott and directed by Andy Fickman. The film was released on December 25, 2012. Artie and Diane Decker agree to visit Atlanta to look after their three grandchildren when their type-A helicopter parents need to leave town for work. Diane is determined to prove to her grandchildren that they aren't just the 'other grandparents'. Problems arise when the kids' 21st-century behaviors collide with Artie and Diane's old-school methods. Although at the beginning of the week, Alice doesn't trust her parents to look after her kids, by the end they become more than just the'other grandparents'. Artie is nicknamed Fartie by the youngest child Barker, who is very defiant and cheeky. Harper is very tense for a violin audition, her grandma tells her she should have some fun and not worry about her audition, while Alice disagrees until later when she realizes that Harper doesn't want to audition. Turner has speech classes due to a stutter but with the help of his grandfather, he overcomes this.
