Rating:  - Very funny
I didn't see the original with Alan Arkin and Peter Faulk, so I have nothing to compare it with, but I thought this one was hilarious. Loved the way Michael Douglas' hair never moved, no matter what he did! I always love Candace Bergen (except maybe in MISS CONGENIALITY).
Rating:  - Stick to the Original...
I was very disappointed with this movie. The original with Peter Falk and Alan Arkin was absolutely hilarious! This one was a bomb in its own right, but next to the original, it was a downright disaster. Do yourself a favor. Spend your hard-earned money on the original movie instead of this terrible remake. You'll love it.
Rating: - Seen the 1st one? Skip this one
I can't review this for those who never saw the original--but if you liked Peter Falk and Alan Arkin you'll be disappointed here. Face it Michael Douglas is not as funny as Peter Falk, not in this movie anyway. The opening scene clued me that this was not written as well as the first-- It was completely believable that Peter Falk could be too goofy to actually be an agent (Columbo?) and that made his role so much better but Michael Douglas is just not goofy enough.
I just couldn't stay interested enough to even get to any laughs. Rent the original again, you'll have much more fun.
Rating:  - WORST MOVIE!!!!!!!!!!!
this was one of the worst movies i had ever seen!! it was so stupid!!!!!!don't was te your time!
Rating: - A Wedding Disaster
I have watched this movie so many times that I still crack up at certain parts especially when Albert Brooks decides to get in the hot tub! Albert Brooks and Michael Douglass seem like an unlikely pair but truly are one of the funniest older men together I have ever seen! Michael Douglass plays a deep CIA agent that has to decide whether to stop working for the weekend or go to his son, Mark (Ryan Reynolds), wedding. Mark is to be married to a beautiful daughter of Albert Brooks (Lindsay Sloane). The only problem is that her family has yet to meet Mark's jet packing father. Somehow Albert and Michael end up flying half way around the world and back into a world of danger. The fun really starts at the wedding rehearsal where a surprise band starts to sing the first song the couple ever sang together. I was laughing so hard the first, second, and even the third time. Though the story does die down every once and awhile the most memorable and funny scenes are with Albert, Michael, ans Ryan Reynolds. They seem to carry the story whenever it seems lacking. I would recommend this movie to anyone who is a fan of comedy!
