Trivia
The last name of the bride's family is Peyser. Penny Peyser played the bride in the original The In-Laws (1979).

Goofs
A submarine never would be able to get into the Great Lakes undetected, as Lake St. Clair's deepest point is 27 feet. The conning tower would be exposed the entire way.

Quotes
Steve Tobias: This wedding is going to be as normal as butter on mashed potatoes.

Crazy credits
As the end credits start, the camera moves out over the water. After a while, Angela Harris (Robin Tunney) is seen waving and calling for help.

A Decent Entertainer!

A remake of the original 1979 cult classic, 'The In-Laws' is A Decent Entertainer, that doesn't bore. Sure, it's not all-out funny & gripping, but it arrests your attention & provides fair entertainment nevertheless.

'The In-Laws' Synopsis: Right before his daughter's wedding, a mild-mannered foot doctor discovers that his new in-laws are international smugglers.

'The In-Laws' has its moments for sure. In the first-hour, especially, there are some really nice sequences. The second-hour, does lose pace, but it doesn't drag, thankfully. The Screenplay is fast-paced, but it could've been tighter in the second-hour. Andrew Fleming's Direction is fair. Cinematography & Editing are functional.

Performance-Wise: Michael Douglas & Albert Brooks deliver superbly. Both of the veteran actors, also share a striking on-screen chemistry from start to end. Ryan Reynolds is passable. Lindsay Sloane is good. Robin Tunney does fairly well. Maria Ricossa & Candice Bergen support well.

On the whole, 'The In-Laws' is a decent watch.
