Critics consensus

“Parental Guidance is sweet but milquetoast, an inoffensive trifle that's blandly predictable.”

A strong candidate for the worst movie I've seen all year.

Poor Crystal. There remains a scintilla of dignity in his sad clown. He may beatbox while wearing wraparound sunglasses, but, thankfully for you and yours, he does not dance the robot.

This grating family comedy resembles a sitcom in its flat lighting, patronizing music cues, and frames supplying little visual information apart from the actors' mugging faces.

A simple family film that should prove appealing to multi-generation families looking for a film the whole family will enjoy this holiday season.
