The In-Laws Ratings & Reviews
Common Sense Media
Nell Minow
This movie has more misfires than hits.
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
Douglas is zany when he should be restrained, jubilant when he should be serious, tipping his hat so often that jokes that could almost pass for witty instead come across with all the subtlety of the proverbial bull in the china shop.
Observer
Rex Reed
Humdrum direction fails to elevate an already bankrupt idea from its relentless doldrums.
Observer
Andrew Sarris
Amazingly, the two versions have hit the casting bull's-eye twice in 24 years to provide superior entertainment.
Ebert & Roeper
Richard Roeper
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.
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
Both Fleming ... and the writers are smart enough to know when to leave a classic alone and when to replicate certain situations.
Salon.com
Charles Taylor
This In-Laws isn't a disaster, it's just not very good.
Washington Post
Michael O'Sullivan
Funny, if a bit broad.
Washington Post
Ann Hornaday
Its laughs are sweet-natured, and Heaven knows the lead players earn every one.
USA Today
Mike Clark
If it's hot this weekend, and your air conditioner is broken, you could do worse. Otherwise, audience annulment proceedings will probably begin in a week or two.
Seattle Times
Ted Fry
Douglas has rarely been more lighthearted or likable, and Brooks can only be described as effortlessly Brooksian. Unfortunately, the lameness of the humor, the ludicrous plot and the uninteresting characterizations don't make it nearly as much fun for us.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
It's a pleasure to see Douglas in a rare movie where he doesn't have to grit his teeth in tension, just as it's always a pleasure to watch Brooks get mentally tortured.
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
Everything sly and low-key about The In-Laws, a 1979 comedy about a dentist and a rogue CIA agent with nothing in common except that the son of one is marrying the daughter of the other, is supersized and coarsened in Andrew Fleming's remake.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
Formulaic and unnecessary.
Houston Chronicle
Eric Harrison
A flat-footed remake.
Detroit News
Tom Long
It's just another Hollywood comedy. There's nothing terribly wrong with that, but there's nothing terribly right with it either.
CNN.com
Paul Clinton (CNN.com)
One of those films where you can tell everyone had a great time making it, but most of the fun was left on the sound stage floor.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
The remake knows the moves but lacks the recklessness.
Boxoffice Magazine
Sheri Linden
While the result may lack the offbeat edge of the film that inspired it, it's a smart, winningly broad comedy that stands on its own.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
A vehicle for Michael Douglas and Albert Brooks that manages to bring out the most annoying aspects of their respective personalities.
