Entertainment Reviews:
[It's] nice to see Midler strutting her stuff in her first onscreen comedy role in years.

Rating: 2/5 --
It's about how grandparents are important even though they say weird things and make bad jokes and try to get you excited about boring things, like baseball.

There is nothing profound here, but if Artie being called "Farty" by a pre-schooler takes your fancy, then you'll have a laugh.

Rating: C --
After a while it seems to run out of jokes, maybe to make room for all the crying and hug-it-out family redemption in the last half hour.

Rating: 2/4 --
One of those intergenerational embarrassment comedies in the Meet the Fockers line, where children can enjoy seeing grown-ups looking ridiculous.

A film with little else to commend it from the obvious.

London Evening Standard
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.

Product Description:
Billy Crystal and Bette Midler star as Artie and Diane -- an old-school grandfather and his people-pleasing wife, who babysit for their three decidedly 21st century grandchildren while the kids' type-A parents (played by Marisa Tomei and Tom Everett Scott) are away for work. Artie's traditional ideas go toe-to-toe with the kids' (and their parents') cutting-edge, multitasking ways, but this modern family comes to learn that love, understanding, and an openness to trying new and old things, will always keep a family together. Andy Fickman directs from a script by Lisa Addario and Joe Syracuse.
