When
prospective fathers-in-law Steve Tobias (MICHAEL DOUGLAS) and Jerry
Peyser (ALBERT BROOKS) meet for the first time to celebrate their
children?s upcoming marriage, the cake hits the fan.
Dr.
Jerome Peyser is a mild-mannered podiatrist with a well-organized
daily routine designed to eliminate all possible sources of stress.
In his functional (if unfashionable) fanny pack he keeps a sanitary
drinking cup in case he needs a sip of water away from home, a couple
of Lorna Doones in case his blood sugar slumps a few points between
meals, and a personal security alarm ? just in case.
Meanwhile,
daredevil CIA operative Steve Tobias moves through life like a heat-seeking
missile. His average day consists of dodging bullets, stealing private
jets and negotiating with international arms smugglers. Steve?s
unpredictable lifestyle has already driven ex-wife Judy (CANDICE
BERGEN) to an ashram for some peace and has strained his relationship
with son Mark (RYAN REYNOLDS) ? possibly beyond repair.Now he?s
giving potential father-of-the-bride Jerry a serious case of pre-nuptial
jitters.
Steve?s
dramatic entrances and exits, his cryptic references to a Russian
runaway named Olga and his fight with a gunman in a restaurant washroom
cause Jerry to see a vision of his daughter?s (LINDSAY SLOANE) perfectly
planned wedding blowing up in his face.As far as Jerry?s concerned,
letting Steve into his family takes ?til death do us part? way
too literally.
Before
he can say the wedding is off,Jerry suddenly finds himself embroiled
in the chaos that follows in Steve?s wake as he is dragged kicking
and screaming into a series of perilous adventures that take the
mismatched in-laws-to-be halfway around the world.Adding insult
to injury is Steve?s partner Angela (ROBIN TUNNEY), a dedicated
agent who doesn?t hide her hostility toward the uncooperative doctor
who is ? for better or worse ? along for the ride.
But
when their children are in danger, Jerry and Steve will discover
they can truly be an effective team -- as jet pack meets fanny pack
in this riotous remake of the 1979 comedy The In-Laws.
