"The In-Laws" is a wacky remake of the 1979 flick of the same name. This
one stars Michael Douglas and Albert Brooks as prospective fathers-in-law
celebrating their children's upcoming wedding.

Steve Tobias (Michael Douglas) is a multilingual rogue CIA agent who sells
illegal weapons, fights bad guys in restrooms, travels around the world and
still has enough time to meet the in-laws. Jerome Peyser (Albert Brooks) is
a podiatrist who sports a fanny pack and is deathly afraid of heights. When
the two meet for dinner, all hell breaks loose. ...
