One of those solid 70s comedies that's not too silly but not too serious either. Please see this instead of the remake, it has freakin' Columbo in it…

Review of The In-Laws (1979)

By Steven Rea (1,872) for Philadelphia Inquirer (3,920) on 16 May 2011

This In-Laws feels, in the end, formulaic and unnecessary, especially when the original is yours for the renting at the video store…

By Ray Conlogue (58) for The Globe and Mail (Toronto) (4,018) on 14 Dec 2006

But uneven acting isn't fatal here, since Andrew Bergman's screenplay is strong enough and Andrew Fleming's direction seamless enough to carry…
