Hitting theaters on Christmas Day, Parental Guidance pairs Billy Crystal and Bette Midler as Artie and Diane, an aging couple who begin to realize that they've become the "other" grandparents to their daughter and her three kids and who become determined to win their way back to their rightful place in the family.

Based on Crystal's own experiences walking the fine line between traditional and modern parenting, Parental Guidance is directed by Andy Fickman and also stars Tom Everett Scott and Bailee Madison.

ComingSoon.net sat down to speak with Crystal, Midler, Tomei and Fickman about their balance of comedy and drama, assembling a realistic family for the screen and how they feel the film -- which doesn't actually take place during the holidays -- still winds up capturing the spirit of the season.
