Entertainment Reviews:
Humdrum direction fails to elevate an already bankrupt idea from its relentless doldrums.

...[With] Michael Douglas at his most energetic and James Bond-like...
Variety
Rating: 2/5 --
Focuses on two boring old men trying to be tough guys while bonding in convoluted and downright stupid situations. A dud.

The List
Amazingly, the two versions have hit the casting bull's-eye twice in 24 years to provide superior entertainment.

Rating: B --
It's wonderful watching Michael Douglas and Albert Brooks having so much fun. It's also great to see a summer movie that doesn't rely on special effects.

...Douglas and Brooks deliver fine work...

One of the problems with The In-Laws is that it spends as much time with the uninteresting and unfunny wedding story as it does with the spy stuff.

Description by OLDIES.com:
Jerry's perfect life is now a perfect mess. Days before his daughter's wedding, he met Steve, the father of the groom. Look on the bright side, Jerry. You're not losing a daughter. You're gaining a madman.
Michael Douglas and Albert Brooks are the odd couple of the CIA set in a fast, funny remake of the 1979 original. Douglas is Steve, who says he's a copier salesman but whose splashy lifestyle, not to mention the agents on his trail and the vial of nuclear material in his pocket, says otherwise. Brooks is Jerry, a podiatrist plunged feet first into Steve's world and hilariously misidentified as the infamous "Fat Cobra." For "a full-tilt onslaught of silly" (The Cincinnati Enquirer), everyone sooner or later has to meet The In-Laws.
Product Description:
In 1979, Alan Arkin and Peter Falk starred in the classic comedy THE IN-LAWS, in which Arkin played a timid dentist who gets involved in dangerous government intrigue--or with the ravings of a lunatic--when he meets Vincent Ricardo (Falk), the father of the man Arkin's daughter is going to marry. That hysterical situation is back with Andrew Fleming's riotous remake, with Albert Brooks as Jerry Peyser, a podiatrist who gets more than he ever could have bargained for when his daughter, Melissa (Lindsay Sloane), gets engaged to Mark (Ryan Reynolds), whose father, Steve Tobias (Michael Douglas), claims to be a spy and involves Jerry in some very questionable--and very funny--situations. Douglas and Brooks make a great comedic duo. The outstanding cast in this wild romp also includes Candice Bergen as Judy, the mother of the groom; Maria Nicossa as Katherine, the mother of the bride; and David Suchet as Jean-Pierre Thibodoux, a villain who believes Jerry to be criminal mastermind Fat Cobra. The soundtrack includes well-known 1970s pop songs as well as new music from Paul McCartney.
