The In-Laws (I) (2003)
1/10
Dreadful

French people saying 'fanny pack' pretty much sums this up. Aimed squarely at the American market - it won't appeal much to anyone else, except those who are too easily amused. I can understand Douglas getting involved - vanity. How actors of the calibre of Suchet and Tunney were persuaded to participate, is less clear.

There are a few good comic moments, but the greatest laughs come from seeing a positively geriatric Michael Douglas attempting - unsuccessfully - some rather basic fight moves. How he didn't do himself a serious injury is a mystery. Suchet is suitably hammy and Tunney is always good to watch, but that's all the positives.

That about sums it up. Bad writing, bad direction, and a star who should have retired 10 years ago. Give it a miss.
