The In-Laws

CriticsCritics: 79
AudienceAudience: 7.4

A mild-mannered dentist meets the groom’s unpredictable father before their children’s wedding. Soon, the dentist is pulled into a dangerous, absurd adventure involving chases, suspicious government activity, and a journey from New York to Central America.

My take

You’ll enjoy this if you like character-driven farces, odd-couple comedy, and unpredictable capers such as Silver Streak; Not for you if you prefer realistic plots or restrained humor.
