Critic Reviews

    Inspired lunacy.

  • Gregory Weinkauf, New Times

  • Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat, Spirituality and Practice

    The In-Laws is a laugh riot.

  • Pablo Villaca, Cinema em Cena

  • AJ V


    A very funny movie. The plot is predictable and familiar today, but if you look past that, the movie is enjoyable, and it has a pretty good cast too, I liked it.
