PETER FALK (A Woman Under the Influence) and ALAN ARKIN (Little Miss Sunshine) make for a hilarious dream team in this beloved American side-splitter. Directed by ARTHUR HILLER (Love Story) from an ingenious script by ANDREW BERGMAN (Blazing Saddles), The In-Laws may at first seem like a generic meet-the-parents comedy, as Arkin's mild-mannered dentist suspiciously eyes Falk's volatile mystery man, whose son is engaged to his daughter. But soon, through a series of events too serpentine and surprising to spoil, the two men are brought together by a dangerous mission... that takes them from suburban New Jersey to Honduras. Fuelled by elaborate stunt work and the laconic, naturalistic charms of its two stars, The In-Laws deserves its status as a madcap classicand has continued to draw ardent fans in the years since its release SPECIAL EDITION FEATURES New 2K digital restoration, with uncompressed monaural soundtrack Audio commentary from 2003 featuring director Arthur Hiller, actors Alan Arkin and Peter Falk, and writer Andrew Bergman New interview with Arkin In Support of The In-Laws, a new interview program featuring actors Ed Begley Jr., Nancy Dussault, James Hong, and David Paymer Trailer PLUS: A booklet featuring an essay by comedy writer Stephen Winer and a 2011 recollection of the making of the film by Hiller Click Images to Enlarge [show more]

Alan Arkin and Peter Falk star in this adventure comedy written by Andrew Bergman. When dentist Sheldon Kornpett (Arkin) hears of his daughter's engagement, he arranges a meeting with the father of the groom-to-be, Vince Ricardo (Falk). Unlike Sheldon, Vince is not your average member of the wedding party, with his current job being an agent for the CIA. When Sheldon accompanies Vince on a series of cases, the pair grow closer than either ever thought two in-laws could be.
