Walden Media – seemingly in association with Dr90210 – have Bette Midler and Billy Crystal fronting their Chrissy release “Parental Guidance”, a new comedy about a couple of long-suffering Metamucil-guzzling grandparents who are forced to put up with the grand-kids. Could be really good… or it could be “Father’s Day” meets “Drowning Mona” by way of Twilight-career-suicide. Personally – after viewing the trailer – I think it looks like a bit of fun.. in that ‘lazy John Hughes’ way. Think “Uncle Buck” – without the ‘adults at children’s prices’ gimmick that was so prevalent in 1989.
Andy Fickman, of “Race to Witch Mountain” fame (!?), directs.
