Parenthood

Andy Fickman ("Race to Witch Mountain,” “The Game Plan") is in negotiations to direct the comedy Us & Them reports Risky Biz Blog.

Billy Crystal (pictured) is attached to star and produce the film about the differences in parenting philosophies between the last two generations.

Crystal would play a grandfather forced to babysit his three grandchildren by the modern day rules of his daughter who is away on a week long business trip.

He's soon confronted by the absurdity of modern parenting - tailored meals, no losing at sports, and discussion of emotions. He then decides to try old-school-style discipline.

Joe Syracuse and Lisa Addario wrote the script based on an idea by Crystal.

Peter Chernin will produce the pic.

Sounds like fun...
