Awful-Awful-Awful
To think that Michael Douglas believes he is still fit for an action
role is really sad news for me(and I'm a real fan of much of his work). I mean, never mind the "funny" undertone, the man believes he can still carry a spy/CIA action part, with all thew fighting and flying involved. This is a cross between "Meet the Parents" and "I spy" with immense script loop-holes and really silly, clich. asienka_princess watch Traitor movie

Don't waste your time...
I saw the new version of "The In-Laws" at a sneak preview last night. I
hesitate to call it a remake of the classic 1979 comedy because, well, if they done a true remake of the original movie, the new one would have been funny. "X2" has more laughs. POSSIBLE SPOILERS: The same general story applies here. Michael Douglas is a CIA agent whose son is marrying foot doctor Albert Brooks' daughter. Douglas meets Brooks for the first time and immediately sucks the meek doctor into his world of international intrigue. So far, so good. Here, though, the problems begin. And they are many. Too many to list here. Suffice to say, the story makes absolutely no sense, the direction is incoherent, and each joke lands with such a thud you actually start feeling bad for the actors. Douglas isn't given anything funny to do here. He pales in comparison to Peter Falk. (To be fair, Falk WAS given a great character, but he also played it to the hilt.) Andrew Fleming's direction has all the grace of an oil slick, careening wildly from action to "comedy" to sentimental nonsense. The biggest waste, though, is Brooks. Any director should be thrilled to have him in a comedy; Brooks could read a menu and it would be funny. But most of his dialogue is given to shrieks of fear and complaints that he's going to die, or that he wants nothing to do with Douglas. He's more annoying than funny. (Candice Bergen is also given nothing to do, but no one's going to see this for her.) As it stands, the new "In-Laws" is a remake in name and general plot outline only. To say otherwise is to diminish the genius of Andrew Bergman, Peter Falk, and Alan Arkin. Come to think of it, if you really want to laugh, save your 10 bucks, and rent the original. As of May 11, 2003, "The In-Laws" is my worst film of the year. And I've seen "Daredevil".. |
