The Steins;Gate series is one of my all-time top favorite anime (and I'm currently eagerly awaiting my preorder of the original VN, as well); so, as you can imagine, I've been very much looking forward to seeing this post-True-Ending sequel movie ever since it was announced (...I mean, so long as it ended well, of course ). And yes, I quite enjoyed it.
Now, I won't bother giving a synopsis since it can be easily found at MAL/etc., but suffice it to say that this had pretty much everything I wanted in it-- lots of humorous interactions in the beginning, time-travel + resultant dilemmas, good drama (which was actually a bit more internal this time due to its particular focus), and some nice romance as well. Also, interestingly enough, this movie finally explained what the "Reading Steiner" actually was (which made perfect sense, BTW), so I loved that, too. And as for the ending: SPOILER: Highlight text to read: I will say that I was a bit surprised at how quickly and (relatively) easily it was wrapped up; however, the end is so satisfying and sweet that I didn't even mind the climax being so subtle.
In all, this was an excellent sequel to a fantastic show, and it was well worth the watch.

Personally, however, I love the series dearly, not only because of all the thought it required/inspired, but also because it powerfully accentuated just how amazing true, selfless love really is, and how it can save people-- and that's a theme which I found very moving.

Conclusion: My parents don't like anime.
Possible additional conclusion: My parents think I'm insane.

While I would expect Ghibli to be a good entry point for most people, I could suggest some additional titles for your parents to try...
