Recommandations
- 80
Washington Post
Subtle it's not. Still, the film, directed by Andrew Fleming ("Dick"), gets large and plentiful laughs where it's supposed to. - 75
San Francisco Chronicle
Relies on comic formula -- but does so with more than usual panache. - 70
L.A. Weekly
Fleming's more than passable, often extremely funny remake. - 60
TV Guide Magazine
Fans of the original may be disheartened by this glossier, action-packed version, but the brisker pacing and showy shoot-'em-up scenes are exactly what will appeal to the film's target audience. - 50
The New York Times
It's as if the director, Andrew Fleming, and the screenwriters, Nat Mauldin and Ed Solomon, set out to make a movie that would be mediocre in every respect. If so, they have completely succeeded. - 50
Variety
The 2003 edition written by Nat Mauldin and Ed Solomon and helmed by Andrew Fleming places the Douglas-Brooks combo inside a much more complicated if not quite as funny world. - 50
New York Daily News
Big, bloated and only intermittently amusing. - 50
Rolling Stone
Everything sly and low-key about The In-Laws, a 1979 comedy...is supersized and coarsened in Andrew Fleming's remake.
