Movie Reviews of The In-Laws (Widescreen Edition)
Movie Review: Douglas and Brooks Gel in Action/Comedy
Summary: 5 Stars
Most critics gave this movie only an average review. I must admit that when I first heard they were going to do a remake of the Alan Arkin/Peter Falk 1979 comedy, I thought it was an incredibly stupid idea. But when I heard that the movie was going to star Michael Douglas and Albert Brooks, my interest was piqued. I can't think of an Albert Brooks movie that didn't make me laugh out loud. And Micheal Douglas is exceptionally funny in comic roles, even though most of his work is in drama and action movies. I thought this movie was incredibly funny from start to finish. Douglas and Brooks make an excellent team and I hope they make more movies together. Also, I think what helped this movie work was that it wasn't a direct remake of the original. The only similarities between the two is that they're about 2 men whose children are about to marry, and that one is a doctor and the other is a Federal Agent. The similarities pretty much end there. The story lines between the two are completely different. I read one critics review that said they should have incorporated the Senor Pepe segment (masterfully done by Richard Libertini in the original)in the remake, but I feel that would have been a maistake. As a credit to the Producers of "The In-Laws", they didn't try to steal any thunder from the original but instead created their own thunder. If you're a fan of either Michael Douglas or Albert Brooks(or both, as I am), I highly recommend this a movie to add to your DVD library.
