Movie Reviews of The In-Laws
Movie Review: Defines hilarity.
Summary: 5 Stars
Peter Falk and Alan Arkin are at their very best comedic form in this classic comedy. (The general is excellent too!) The timing of the movie is unbeatable, with one laugh following another at a perfect pace; just enough so that by the time the movie is over, your stomach muscles will be hurting. All the actors play it straight, which only adds to the viewers' initial puzzlement as to what kind of movie this is. And I must say, I've never seen a bunch of finer comedic straight-men in one place before. Which is more amazing to me because I'd never thought of any of these guys as comedic actors until this movie. Excellent, imaginative script-writing and directing contribute greatly. A fine film for audiences of all ages!Movie Review: It's all about Chemistry
Summary: 5 Stars
Can we start with the ridiculous packaging? Holy crap! But as bad as the cover is? That's how good this movie is. Peter Falk is positively unhinged, and Alan Arkin has never been this funny in another movie. Really. I saw this when it came out (and I was eight) and didn't understand it at all. Over the years, though, I keep coming back to it. It's not the fastest paced or most enlightening movie. But it's a pretty good contender for the funniest. What's great about it now is that even when being over the top and madcap, there's still something sweetly understated about the whole thing. Ultimately it's all about the relationship between these two guys. And I gotta say, that's more than enough.Movie Review: One of the greatest comedies of all time
Summary: 5 Stars
My parents introduced me to this movie, which came out before I was born. I'm so glad it was finally released on DVD so that we don't have to watch our VHS-off-television copy when we want to see this movie. It's a delightful comedic romp, and Arkin and Falk playing perfectly off one another. Some of the other characters are a little flat (the marrying son and daughter), but the action is hilarious for the two main characters. My favorite scenes take place when they travel out of the country illegally towards the end (I won't say more so I don't ruin the plot). Definitely check this movie out, and it is one you'll want to own on DVD to watch again and again.Movie Review: Classic Comedy

This is, as you have read in other reviews, a great movie. My reason for writing this review is not to review the movie, you can read that in other reviews, but to let you know that the DVD is so much better than the VHS (I bought the VHS copy a couple of months before the DVD was available for pre-order, because I didn't think it would be coming out on DVD). That said, the banter between the Peter Falk and Alan Arkin is really great, and at some point, you will find yourself quoting parts of the movie. My wife, who does not like "these kinds of movies" laughed throughout the entire film. Anyway, get the DVD and give the VHS away, that's what I did.Movie Review: All time favorite comedy

What more can I add to all the previous glowing reviews here. I just reread all 53 reviews and laughed so hard remembering all the gags in the movie my sides hurt.I have just one correction to make to some of the reviews: The pre-flight safety briefing given to Shel on Wong Airlines was conducted in Cantonese, not Mandarin. Since I happen to understand Cantonese (and also Mandarin), that scene is even more hilarious because Bill (?) Hong is giving a real safety briefing in all seriousness, with the exception of the line about Mae West.
If you've not seen the original In-Laws, do so of you'll regret it.
