Parental Guidance makes a late bid for the 'weakest comedy of 2012' award, yet it does not even come close to the true horror that was Jack and Jill. The central conceit is so contrived it would make the average rom-com blush and therefore the characters and set-up do not ring true, and the actors - especially the adults - flail helplessly for the most part with largely lacklustre dialogue and underwhelmingly predictable situations. It is good to see actors like Tomei, Crystal and Midler back on the big screen, but not like this. Interest flags long before the end of this made-for-TV-movie-level material.
