...scene in pasty white light and seems incapable of placing the camera in its proper position. Then again, maybe it is just as well that there is not a first-rate film maker behind The In-Laws. Had someone directed this movie for all it is worth, the audience might never get up from the floor...

When he calls, she jumps, and all this abrupt, unexplained commuting takes its toll on Martin. A decent director (rather than the inept Anthony Harvey) might have spared her some of her most embarrassing moments, either with some lively, distracting staging or by simply calling "Cut" sooner...

Another lesson is that scarcity is not essential to hoarding. In 1973, reporting a Congressman's fatuous remark that supplies might grow short, TV Host Johnny Carson touched off nationwide panic buying of toilet paper...
