The In-Laws (2003) 6/10

Starring : Michael Douglas, Albert Brooks, Robin Tunney, Ryan Reynolds, David Suchet, Candice Bergen
Director : Andrew Fleming
Running Time : 93 mins

Jerry Pyser (Brooks) finds himself in a lot of trouble when he discovers that the father of his future son-in-law is a rogue CIA agent. Pyser soon ends up having to pretend to help Steve Tobias (Douglas) as the real CIA try to track down the criminals Tobias is involved with, namely Jean-Pierr Thibodoux (Suchet).

This was a pretty weak comedy which has Brooks and Douglas really hamming it up as they attempt to foil a group of thieves. Suchet really takes the biscuit as he dons the hat of the criminal mastermind who longs for Brooks, but there are some okay moments of humour that vaguely rescue this otherwise uninspired remake of the classic 70's movie of the same name.
