  Albert Brooks is by far the funniest thing about this film, it?s an easy watching film, but very much a no brainer.

  I must make sure to add the original to my Netflix queue -- now closiing in on 400 movies! I would love to see what Alan Arkin and Peter Falk made of this idea. I have to admit that I was very skeptical of the pairing of Albert Brooks and Michael Douglas -- two of my other favo...( read more)rites. No worry, shrimp curry, they did very well playing off of each other.

  If this plot seems a little bit far-fetched to you, rest assured that I felt the same way. It is unbelievable, but it was also easy to let a willing suspension of disbelief kick it. This one is, however, worth a viewing. Douglas and Brooks make some very real music together.

  I feel for the other actors here, especially David Suchet and Candice Bergen. There is very little room to shine in this rather claustrophobic(?) -- narrowly focused(?) -- script for anyone besides Brooks and Douglas. Everything else is window dressing, really.

  I guess I'd call this a road/buddy flick in the end. It's truly very funny at times, but with a lot of so-so stretches as well. Still, I must reaffirm, flixster friends, that this is worth at least one watch, especially if you've ever believed in Brooks and Douglas. If I run across it again, I will happily give it another go, I think.

  An adequate remake...Douglas shines but Brooks is outplayed by the original actor, Alan Arkin in the dentist role...mildy entertaining shtick

  A small yet funny film which like everything nowadays is a re-used storyline. Fun film to watch

  Stick with the original - Peter Falk and Charles Grodin CANNOT be beat.

  What will you do if you has a mafia-in laws?
  So funny movie, shouldn't pass it.
  Messy wedding preparation, messy wedding party. Oh, to be married was so hard with the bride's father as a mafia.
  Is he really the mafia?
  Just watch!

  I like how this movie retans the spirit of the original - very silly but also very enjoyable!
