I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Simply Perfect

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Crack comedy writer Andrew Bergman penned this intentionally erratic farce involving a Manhattan dentist with his future in-law, a mysterious CIA operative who took part in the rogue robbery of the U.S. Mint in order to expose an inflation conspiracy begun in Central America. Overtly nutty, high-decibel nonsense takes two potentially funny characters, played by Peter Falk and Alan Arkin, and soon has them dodging bullets and running from the law. Director Arthur Hiller keeps the mania moving briskly enough, even though the plot is superfluous and occasionally offensive--the real humor is in the character portraits. Still, a box-office hit, remade in 2003. *1/2 from ****

Long before "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" exposed the embarrassing clash of family styles, "The In-Laws" took that premiss and created a story that you just couldn't make up, unless you are the un-phased Vince Ricardo (Peter Falk). Vince is ridiculously inane while dentist Sheldon Kornpett (Alan Arkin) tries to politely question his future in-law, quickly getting caught up in the caper of a lifetime. The dead pan serious claims out of Falk's' mouth and the various reactions from Arkin are comic genius. We enjoy Sheldon's plight and to see him warm up to Vince and his antics is priceless! The plot keeps you guessing, the script is so hysterically quotable, and the two actors are a lot of fun in this adventure together! After 30 viewings I'm still ready to declare that Arkin and Falk are the greatest comic duo ever to appear on the big screen. Arkins' classic, "Oh God please don't let me die on 31st street!" is only topped by Falks' deadpan calmness in the face of adversity.

The In-Laws is definitely not a movie for anyone keen on particulars. Like most of Arthur Hiller's work, it is, at best, a cheerful muddle, and it gets off to a mucky start. A Federal security truck is robbed, with the theft engineered by Peter Falk. But hold on a sec. The truck is resplendent with money, and the thieves don't even want it. They're after something else. This is the first of a few new creases.It's dinnertime, and Falk and Arkin are meet for the first time. Arkin's daughter is to be married just a day or two later to the mastermind's son, though much will transpire between now and then. Falk is somewhat vague about his work. But he talks about Guatemala, tells some stories about giant tse-tse flies. The next day, he's more frank: he mentions he's with the CIA. That probably accounts for the autographed picture of JFK in his office, a picture that involves something he did in Cuba.Very soon, Falk has Arkin mixed up in a Federal crime and aboard a small plane with a two-man Chinese crew. Soon they're in a Carribbean hotel, with a lobby beset with live chickens. Then they're visiting a friend of Falk's, a crazy General, whose art collection Arkin is softly warned to appreciate. Further script elements incorporate stolen US treasury mint, gangland thugs, and a South American dictatorship and its unhinged leader who channels Mr. Garrison qualities and is played by the too hilarious Richard Libertini.Andrew Bergman has written a comedy script that accelerates gradually and crisply, and endows its leads with great clear-cut farce, so that even if the material falters, the manic on-screen presence of able comic actors will be all we could ask of it. For instance, Arkin is one of the funniest men in the movies, and most of his most side-splitting moments come from the pure spontaneity of his reactions to what happens to him, which is not something a script could provide. Only an actor. Under Hiller's simplistic and satisfactory direction, everything keeps going swiftly enough to stump audience misgivings about plotting, aggravatingly inconsistent character development and a briskly condensed time frame.

Inane farce with Peter Falk involving future in-law Alan Arkin is a CIA romp.The chase scenes and shootings become actually annoying in this film which lacks real humor. When our two heroes meet a dictator of Honduras, he tells them that his army people once worked as security guards for J.C. Penney? This is supposed to be funny. Methinks not.For the straight dentist Arkin portrays, after a while, he seems to be enjoying himself and does pretty well in dodging bullets along the way.The only funny scene here is that woman left with the cement in her mouth as the two fools make their escapade. Maybe, she succeeds because she is quiet. This is what the rest of the film should have been like.
