Crystal starred in the hit films "City Slickers" and "When Harry Met Sally" and has hosted the Academy Awards nine times. He turns 65 next year and has made a career out of turning his life into comedy: "City Slickers" was a story of mid-life crisis and "Parental Guidance" is based on Crystal's experiences with his own grandchildren.

The actor is also working on a book that will be part memoir with jokes about getting older.

Friday's "Parental Guidance" screening is one of the highlights of the AARP's national convention being held in New Orleans.
