The In-Laws

A very funny and memorable film . Many fun to recall lines! Where can it be bought? A must have for many years of fun! Peter Falk is perfect! We have watched every time we stumble across it being shown! Where can we buy it? 5 stars for sure!!! La Minda

The remake of this was beyond awful. This original version, pairing the freaked-out Alan Arkin and the totally goofy Peter Faulk is a classic comedy. No one could have done a better job in these roles. I put it in my list of top 100 films.

You couldn’t pin FRESH TOMATOES on this movie? Well, I would!

If you don't laugh about every 10 to 15 minutes throughout this movie you probably should check your pulse! Fantastic - still...

One of the funniest movies I've ever seen. If only Rickon had watched this.

Great actors+clever script= timeless classic dramatic comedy. Essential library film.

This is one of the funniest comedies I’ve ever seen, one that other movies continue to refer to decades later. Falk and Arkin are quite possibly the best two actors to be paired in a comedy since Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau, and I don’t believe that anyone could have done a better job bringing this script to life. A gem in anyone’s film library.

The dialogue in this movie busts me up every time I watch it. It is hilarious. I still quote it.

Undoubtedly, one of the funniest movies ever made; second only to The Producers (original, 1968 version). Don Carlo

It is difficult to point to the "funniest" moment in this film, as it just starts out strange, gets bizarre, then twisted, and then that is where the fun starts. The chemistry between Peter Falk, a lying braggart with delusions of adequacy, and Alan Arkin, an uptight Jewish dentist from uptown Manhattan, is magic. We watch in astonished amusement as Alan Arkin's nice, comfortable, American Dream lifestyle is methodically demolished by the outrageous actions of his soon-to-be in-law, Peter Falk. As I said, it is hard to pinpoint a single funniest moment, but I have to say my three nominations are, "There are FLAMES on my car!" or "Serpentine, Shel! Serpentine!" One other point is worth making. It is very easy to see Peter Falk's brilliance in the performance, but Alan Arkin's befuddled, understated confusion is at least as important to the success of the film. Just go and watch the thing, all right? Oh, and avoid the remake like the plague.
