In this episode, we're delving into the comedic chaos of "The In-Laws," exploring both the beloved 1979 original and its 2003 remake. The original film, directed by Arthur Hiller, stars Peter Falk and Alan Arkin as two future in-laws caught in a whirlwind of international espionage and hilarious misadventures. Fast-forward to 2003, and Andrew Fleming reimagines this classic, casting Michael Douglas and Albert Brooks in a similar tale of pre-wedding jitters mixed with undercover operations. We'll compare the comedic styles of each film, how the humor has evolved over the decades, and discuss whether the remake holds up to the original's legacy. Tune in as we unpack the antics, the laughs, and the unexpected bonds that make "The In-Laws" a comedic encounter of the familial kind.
