I thought that Brooks and Douglas gave the movie some good chemistry! Brooks is the type of normal, funny guy that you'd see in real life, but with Douglas being the CIA actor in the movie, it gives it the perfect... Full review

$8.50 The In-Laws is a comedy with a really unpleasant sour streak.....The scriptwriters fill in plotting gaps with unnecessary jokes at the expense of minorities.... ... Full Review

He seems almost overwhelmed and the movie preposterously inflated.
That movie was a consistently funny, charming knockabout
It's too much, too fast -- unlike the first movie, which has a very clever Andrew Bergman script to set off its star pair.

With its uninspired characters and situations and lame attempts at humor like a homosexual subplot that involves Steve's client and the movie seems banal and moderately tedious.
Of course, the movie finds good from it as the guys bond and come to appreciate other viewpoints better, but it still seems totally illogical for Steve to do this.

With so many jokes running amok in The In-Laws, the old funny bone gets a major workout.
This time, Albert Brooks' fusspot podiatrist finds himself embroiled in international intrigue with a wacko CIA agent, played with gleeful abandon by Michael Douglas.

| May 23, 2003Jam! Movies
The In-Laws is a witless caper comedy that stars Douglas as a secret agent, like that could happen, and Brooks as a nebbish foot doctor.
Not funny, never mysterious -- the opening scenes see to that -- badly organized and generally embarrassing, The In-Laws is one of those films that will leave you scratching your head in wonder.
