synopsis
When prospective fathers-in-law Steve Tobias and Jerry Peyser 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. 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. 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 causes Jerry to see a vision of his daughter’s 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.

When the agent takes the doc and his family to a Vietnamese restaurant that serves live snake,… Continued

The premise of Warner Bros.' 21st century version is pretty similar: Michael Douglas is Steve Tobias, a ''daredevil CIA operative,'' and Albert Brooks is Dr. Jerry Peyser, an uptight podiatrist. The foot doctor's daughter and bride-to-be, Melissa (Lindsay Sloane), and her fiancé, Marc (Ryan Reynolds),… Continued
