A clever premise, a witty script, two beautifully matched lead actors in Peter Falk and Alan Arkin, and a supporting performer who almost makes off with the picture like a bandit in the night.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Jul 11, 2023

Even better, the film is better than I remembered, and all the jokes are still funny. Andrew Bergman is a great writer. Alan Arkin and Peter Falk are superb actors. Arthur Hiller is a better director than I realized.

| Jul 3, 2023

An apex odd-couple comedy powered by Falk's dry delivery, with just the right arch of the eyebrow.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jul 8, 2020

Peter Falk and Alan Arkin make The In-Laws an extremely funny movie.

| Sep 20, 2019

A simpleminded variation on the well-worn Oscar and Felix routine.

| Jul 19, 2019

Arkin's deadpan tone is a perfect fit for the ever-so-slightly unhinged quality that Falk brings with him.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 15, 2016

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 18, 2008

A formula comedy raised to heights of hilarity by the kind of off-beam lunacy which probably wouldn't get past the studio suits these days.

| Feb 9, 2006

Inspired lunacy.

Andrew Bergman has written one of those rare comedy scripts that escalates steadily and hilariously, without faltering or even having to strain for an ending.

The In-Laws is a laugh riot.

| Jan 27, 2004

A tima qumica entre Arkin e Falk, ressaltada pelo hilrio roteiro de Bergman e a direo inspirada de Hiller, faz com que esta comdia seja simplesmente imperdvel.
