“I’m excited about this movie as anything I’ve done,” he tells THR. “I think this relates to families on all different levels — it’s a very, very funny and very, I think, very heartfelt movie about [what] these young married [people] are going through with their kids, and how they relate to their parents and their grandparents’ roles in the families.”
Crystal notes that he always draws a smile from others whenever he shares the premise for Parental Guidance.
“When I get that reaction, it’s the same reaction I got when I told people about the idea for City Slickers. ”˜Three guys cattle drive…’ and they went, ”˜Oh I wanna see that.’ It’s a beautifully funny movie.”
So does Midler match Goodman when it comes to comedic chemistry onscreen?
“We had a blast,” says Crystal of working with Midler. “The movie sings when we’re together.”
