Parental Guidance

• Comedy

A playfully contentious clash of generations fuels this comedy as a rigidly scheduled couple unexpectedly finds themselves navigating the chaotic world of their grandchildren—and questioning their own parenting philosophies. Beyond simple generational humor, the film explores the evolving definitions of care and control, contrasting a nostalgic, hands-on approach with modern, hyper-protective parenting. While the grandparents initially struggle with smartphones and evolving social norms, their genuine, if imperfect, affection ultimately sparks heartwarming moments of connection and a reevaluation of what it truly means to guide the next generation. The humor derives not from mocking either side, but from the endearing awkwardness of bridging a widening cultural gap, leaving a surprisingly insightful commentary on family dynamics.
