No violence but Parental Guidance: A movie feedback






If you love your grandparent or not, you will definite love this movie. It was recently launched in the  Philippines and now available in major cinema which started last January 16, 2013. The story is about a husband and wife who will try to perform their parenthood and manage their daughter’s family life.

Being layoff from job is a very painful part in career life and hard to accept especially if that is your whole life and passion.  This was what grandpa Artie(Billy Crystal) was struggling when he was terminated as game commentator in baseball. However, this became his opportunity to visit and have time for his grandchildren in babysitting them because his daughter and his son-in-law will travel for vacation.

The mother Alice(Marisa Tomei), who had been very intact with her children, is having a hard time to part away and entrust them to her parents. Usually, there's a lot of crying that happen and sadness but this one is a little funny because of mother’s action. In this way, Artie and Diane taught their daughter to give time to his husband and appreciate his husband’s achievement. You will learn that you should be ready for times that your behalf needs you and just for kids only. 

One of the memorable lesson that appreciated was to understand that letting go is hard for children who have special friend. The youngest child name Barker buried a friend(an imaginary kangaroo who died in a car accident) is very good scene because this is one of the common scenario that usually happen experiencing a different world. Instead of forgetting the issue, the grandparents and family members took part in the child sadness and sorrow.

This also shows you how to take time on everything. You have the right to play and enjoy.  You have the right to choose which career you will take because you know more of yourself instead of doing what other people told you to do. This was what the eldest daughter name Harper (Bailee Madison) and her mom (Alice)  learned. The mother was expecting her  daughter to play beautifully with a musical instrument for the audition but later realized that the daughter is not happy with it and just forcing hard just to please her.

Then they realized that it was the boy name Turner (Joshua Rush), who love public speeches and exposure and he was like his grandpa. He likes commentating in game and with the helped of grandpa's motivation skill, Turner proved that he can do it. 
  
In return, the grandparents also realized that one of the special events of their life was being a grandparents. Diane was so determined to prove that they are not just another grandparents and she had been successful in her goal. They will also realize how important this to them. They had made some mistake and gave wrong advice but the good thing was their willingness to ask for apology and correct it.
