    This is fairly rubbish really, although Jane Fonda was good but this is a bit below her I think. The Elaine Stritch cameo is great also.

    Mildly amusing with a predictable outcome, an easy watching film that was surprisingly enjoyable.

    They knew they wouldn't get any originality prizes for this one. There have been movies about awful in-laws before, and some of them were even pretty damn funny.

Sadly, their rather charming sidekicks disa...( read more)ppear almost entirely after that, especially Will Arnett's comical talent isn't used to its full potential. And why is the female's best friend ALWAYS gay if he is male? A stereotype that is slowly starting to piss me off. Still, the actors are barely to blame for how boring, predictable and unfunny the movie continues. Lopez is actually really cute, Vartan a charming leading man and Jane Fonda plays the bitchy mother in law really well. The script leaves them out in the cold, though. No charm, no really good jokes, no surprises. I didn't expect much at all and was still disappointed.

    I suffered through this garbage on a plane ride...it's okay though, they played Fever Pitch right after this one ended. Just when I thought I had seen the worst...

    If you overpass a few details, it might get pretty amusing and delightful.
