When you have kids, a lot of first-time parents always complain that there isn’t an instruction manual or guidebook for how to raise children. Well, thanks to Ryan Reynolds, you’ll be getting just that with the upcoming film, “Everyday Parenting Tips.” Although, this film is only applicable if you are raising kids in a world where there’s a monster uprising, so YMMV.

According to Deadline, Reynolds is set to star in “Everyday Parenting Tips,” which will be directed by Paul King of “Paddington” fame. The film is based on a Simon Rich short story of the same name that tells the story of a father (Reynolds) that dispenses parenting advice about what to say when your child is afraid of monsters under the bed, during a time when there is a literal monster uprising, “Godzilla”-style.
In addition to penning the short story, Rich is also aboard to write the screenplay with filmmakers Chris Lord and Phil Miller producing. As mentioned, the film will be directed by Paul King, who is best known for his work on the “Paddington” films, which have gone on to become some of the most beloved family films of the past decade. Combine his family-friendly acumen with Reynolds’ penchant for silly humor, you’re likely in for a treat with “Everyday Parenting Tips.”
Though it must be said, the title is funny (in an ironic sort of way) but is incredibly bland, right? Based on the title alone, it sounds like a watered-down family comedy from a Mark Wahlberg-esque actor that is meant to show that even action stars have a soft spot. Not a Ryan Reynolds-led monster flick from the “Paddington” director, written by the guy behind “An American Pickle,” and produced by the “21 Jump Street” filmmakers. But hey, I just work here.
It’s unclear when “Everyday Parenting Tips” will arrive in theaters (or streaming services, as is growing more and more popular with these types of films).
