 Laugh Your A## Off, 2008-02-13
This is a corn-ball comedy that I thought I'd hate and ended up laughing until the tears were coming from my eyes.
The setup is well done, the story very funny, and then it ends with--well you find out.
If you like to laugh this movie is for you.

This movie is so funny. Pauly Shore is a crazy nut. He was perfect for this movie. You will want to watch it over and over.

He knows the streets of Los Angeles better on a farm, He doesn't know the animals on a farm.
Funny movie
Guilty pleasure fave of mine, 2007-06-03
I'm not sure I'd describe this movie as excellent, or one of the best comedies. I'll leave that to the classcs that have earned that, particularly through the test of time. However, the word "classic" is loosely interpreted these days (See "TCM" or "AMC")- comedy moreso. And "The Son-In-Law" has a comfort food feel about it, in spite of the presence of the obtrusive talents of Pauly Shore, of whom I don't consider myself a fan of, but indeed a fan of a few movies of his. This is my favorite. Direction of this movie does a good job of making you feel the different perspectives of its characters, especially for a movie that really isn't meant to be taken that seriously. I don't think it's any coincidence that this movie finds lots of TV time around the holidays, because it does have a warm, fuzzy, familar feel to it, especially for a "fish out of water" comedy. Shore plays that fish well. I had actually hoped for better future scripts to utilize Shore after this. But his run was very short lived. The supporting cast around him and a well cast Carla Gugino, the simple country girl whom Shore transforms from caterpillar to butterfly, too is nicely cast, including one of my favorite supporting/character actors Lane Smith, who in my opinion has a tendency to steal scenes in the movies he's part of. Long time fave Tiffani-Amber Theisan, and one time fave Patrick Renna, who put out his 2 best efforts of his career (including "The Sandlot") the year this movie was released), along with a few other famiilar faces combine for an effective cast that takes a simple plot and script and creates a fun movie that depends on archetypes to achieve it's end. What else would you expect from a Shore movie? Did anyone really expect Academy material from Shore after "Encino Man"? This is one of those movies that I find myself watching whenever it's on. It's just a simple, fun movie. And there ain't nothing wrong with that.
Son-in-Law, 2007-03-08
Pauly Shore is histerical in this movie. A movie that will keep you laughing all the way to the end. It's the perfect movie for teenagers and early twenties that is looking forward to college or understands what college is like.
