THE IN-LAWS Decoded!

THE IN-LAWS Decoded!

Dan and Tom decode the 1979 comedy spy movie THE IN-LAWS. This movie stars Peter Falk and Alan Arkin. Plus they compare it to the 2003 remake with the same name.

The 1979 version of THE IN-LAWS is a classic comedy spy movie. But, the 2003 version is not held in the same high regard. Why is that?

Take a listen to find out more about the 1979 version. Why does it work? And, what works and what doesn't work in the 2003 remake.

Some of the details we examine include:

  • An overview of the plot
  • The casting
  • The chemistry between the two lead actors and their characters
  • In what other movies have we seen some similar scenes as we see in THE IN-LAWS?
  • How do they mislead the viewer as to Vince's role in the beginning of the movie?
  • What does Michael Lembeck, who played Tommy, have in common with Albert Brooks, other than appearing in a version of THE IN-LAWS.
  • The success and failures of the casting in the 2003 version – Tom and Dan disagree here
  • What was better and what was worse in the 2003 version?
  • And more ….

There is a lot to decode, so take a listen to enhance your viewing experience as new things are discovered – worth a watch? Take a listen! Are you in?
