Today's product review has gone to the movies!
We choose one of the classiest theaters in Carbon County to go to. We paid our eight bucks per person (which I have heard rumors that if you go on a Wednesday night in Price, it's $5, but I don't know if it's true) and stood in line salivating over the buttered aroma wafting through the air. I ordered my popcorn and was preparing to go sink my teeth into the greasy kernels when it suddenly slipped right through my fingers and launched itself right there across the counter for the world to see! Lucky for me, the girl on the other side of the counter was ever so kind and fixed up a new container of popcorn for me before the tears could spring from my eyes! I walked my feet across the sticky theater floor, sat myself in the rickety extra springy theater seat and tried not to consume all of my popcorn before the movie started! What was the movie called you ask? It was "Parental Guidance"And now for my "product" review:
I had only seen one preview flash across my t.v. screen for this movie, but when I saw that it was Billy Crystal and Bette Midler I knew I would have to see it! They are good at what they do!
This movie is a rarity among today's other movies in that it is rated PG and there were no scenes which required me to sink down to that pop encrusted theater floor and pretend my parents weren't there. I would even be willing to watch this movie with my grandparents (unlike "Ghosts of Girlfriends Past" that was a mistake). Without spoiling anything, just know that this movie is about two grandparents who find themselves babysitting their three grandkids and being forced to abide by modern day parenting rules.
Some people I know didn't want to go to a movie and risk hearing a cheesy song being sung by the Divine Miss M. If you are one of those people, fear not! There is one instance of singing, but it is a duet with Mr. Crystal and is over quite quickly. It serves a purpose and didn't bother me at all, but then again I have some of her music in my car and don't mind listening to her. If her singing provokes you to wrath, please don't let that keep you from watching this show!
This flick was funny, charming, heartwarming, enjoyable, something that can be watched by everyone and totally worth the 105 minutes it takes to watch the whole thing!
We ran right out and plopped some cash down for it the first week it was released on DVD!
p.s. Before you all start placing bets on
whether or not I'm standing in a bathroom
for this picture, let me just say right up
front that I am. . . My professional
photographer, who likes to go by the
name ALPS, told me that the stripes from
the shower curtain would be a nice
contrast and add a lot to the picture. Thanks
ALPS!

We watched this with our teens and we all laughed out loud. It was a fun watch.
