Description:
Middle America will never be the same when comedian Pauly Shore (ENCINO MAN) travels to the Midwest and becomes the SON-IN-LAW. Shore stars as Crawl, L.A.'s funkiest college student, who's hilariously out of his element when he spends Thanksgiving at the family farm of a straitlaced college co-ed (Carla Gugino -- SPY KIDS). Crawl's unlike anything the Midwesterners have ever seen -- outside the barn that is! But before long, Crawl's plowing his way into their hearts with his outrageous antics and offbeat attempts at farming. Get ready for a truckload of laughs and a half-ton of hysteria with this totally irreverent comedy!
Amazon.com:
Even with Pauly Shore as the 'star,' this 1993 comedy is a bit better than you might think. Shore plays an insouciant college student asked by a friend (Carla Gugino) to pretend to be her fiancé over Thanksgiving break, thus discouraging a jerk back in her hometown from proposing. Shore's character agrees but is given a hard time by the girl's salt-of-the-earth family of farmers. The hero and Gugino's character actually have a crush on each other, and now that they have an opportunity to explore romance, their relationship is threatened by poor Pauly's tests of rural manhood. Shore aside, the strong cast--including Gugino and Lane Smith--lend this thing some credibility; and the script doesn't take any shortcuts in moving the characters beyond their assumptions about one another. --Tom Keogh

Rating:  - Laugh Your A## Off
This is a corn-ball comedy that I thought I'd hate and ended up laughing until the tears were coming from my eyes.
The setup is well done, the story very funny, and then it ends with--well you find out.

This movie is so funny. Pauly Shore is a crazy nut. He was perfect for this movie. You will want to watch it over and over.
Rating:  - Him on a farn
He knows the streets of Los Angeles better on a farm, He doesn't know the animals on a farm.
Funny movie
Rating: - Guilty pleasure fave of mine
I'm not sure I'd describe this movie as excellent, or one of the best comedies. I'll leave that to the classcs that have earned that, particularly through the test of time. However, the word "classic" is loosely interpreted these days (See "TCM" or "AMC")- comedy moreso. And "The Son-In-Law" has a comfort food feel about it, in spite of the presence of the obtrusive talents of Pauly Shore, of whom I don't consider myself a fan of, but indeed a fan of a few movies of his. This is my favorite. Direction ... Read More
Rating: - Son-in-Law
Pauly Shore is histerical in this movie. A movie that will keep you laughing all the way to the end. It's the perfect movie for teenagers and early twenties that is looking forward to college or understands what college is like.
