When old-school parenting meets new-school parenting, buckle up because it’s going to be a wild ride!! I’m pretty sure Billy Crystal is funny 24/7. He is great in all the movies I’ve seen him in, and even when you don’t see him, you only hear him (a la “Monsters Inc” and the upcoming “Monsters University”).
