Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
It won't steal any thunder from the 1979 original, but this breezy remake of The In-Laws offers a few solid laughs. It's blessed by the casting of Albert Brooks as one of two imminent fathers-in-law who embark on the proverbial 'wacky misadventure' on the eve of a lavish family wedding. The veteran comedian plays a podiatrist (in the dentist role originated by Alan Arkin) and Michael Douglas (in Peter Falk's role) is a deep-cover agent for the CIA, unbeknownst to Brooks or his daughter, who's about to marry Douglas's son--an event also attended by Douglas's ex-wife (Candice Bergen), who remains spiteful despite her newfound Buddhist enlightenment. As an arms dealer targeted by Douglas's latest covert operation, David Suchet matches Brooks laugh-for-laugh in the movie's funniest scenes, but one drawback can't be avoided: Douglas simply isn't funny. But while the original In-Laws was arguably overrated, this remake, for all its faults, makes for an agreeable rainy-day pastime. --Jeff Shannon

Rating: - The Home Security Department is beyond laughability
Don't ask me how they manage to bring a Soviet submarine in Lake Michigan just across from Chicago. When you start asking silly question you destroy the comedy and the Home Security Department is landing on your balcony, air borne and under-cover if not underwater. Because it is a comedy and nothing else. A silly comedy with spies from all over the world, planes that are hijacked, wrecked, or plain - funny for a plane - sacrificed. That's what happens when your father is a CIA agent at a third level ... Read More

Rating: - The Out-Laws
A fairly decent movie. I like Michael Douglas and Albert Brooks so I wasn't disappointed in this version. I must admit though that Peter Falk as the CIA agent and Alan Arkin as the father of the bride in the original cracked me up far more than this remake. Falk was just funnier than Douglas as the screwy out of control agent that you were never sure was legit. Brooks although pretty amusing as the father of the bride reacting to Douglas was not as over the top freaked as Arkin was by Falk. So if you enjoyed ... Read More
