THE IN-LAWS: DOUBLE FEATURE 2-DISC SET
The In-Laws (1979) / The In-Laws (2003) (Double Feature)
Peter Falk and Alan Arkin deliver exceptional comedic performances in this zany film, which effortlessly blends elements of adventure and comedy in an engaging way. The movie follows a mild-mannered foot doctor named Jerry, portrayed by Arkin. Just before his daughter’s wedding, Jerry uncovers a shocking secret about his future in-laws, who may not be the ordinary family he anticipated. This revelation spirals into a series of outrageous misadventures that challenge Jerry’s perceptions and patience.
In both versions of The In-Laws, audiences are treated to a chaotic yet humorous narrative that examines the complexities of family ties and the unpredictability of life. The original 1979 version is widely celebrated for its masterful script, energetic performances, and clever dialogue. It sets a high standard for the comedy genre, illustrating how comedic timing and character dynamics can create a timeless classic.
The 2003 remake, featuring Michael Douglas and Albert Brooks, retains the essence of the original while introducing a modern twist. Douglas’s portrayal of the enigmatic and daring CIA agent adds a different flavor to the character, engaging a new generation of viewers. The chemistry between the two leads is palpable, contributing to the film's success at the box office.
Both films explore themes of trust, family, and deception wrapped in a layer of comedic absurdity. Some noteworthy elements include:
Character Development: The transition from a typical family man to a reluctant participant in espionage draws the audience into Jerry's world, filled with unexpected twists.
Humor and Parody: Each film features a clever satirical take on the spy genre, poking fun at the clichés often depicted in action-packed adventures.
Memorable Quotes: The dialogue in both films contains plenty of quotable lines that have resonated with audiences, enhancing the overall comedic experience.
The dual presentation of these films showcases how different contextual elements can impact a story while remaining true to its core. Fans of comedy and action will find ample entertainment in witnessing how the characters navigate the absurd situations that arise, particularly in moments where Jerry must rely on his wits and the peculiar guidance of his in-laws.
Ultimately, The In-Laws remains a delightful exploration of what it means to be part of a family, especially when those relatives come with unexpected surprises. Whether viewers choose to watch the original or the remake, both versions promise laughter and a memorable cinematic experience.

WHAT YOU GET:
This item is for the original media, and includes only the media (ie. CD, floppy ...) UNLESS specifically stated above and/or in the title. If more than just the media is included, it will state which items are (ie. box, manual, etc ). Items that come in a sleeve refer to a generic CD sleeve (typically white) and will be sent with shipping protection to avoid damage during transit. If available, we will also send the front and/or back CD inserts if in stock. If these are important to you, please message us to verify we have them available to send. Please do not assume items are included other than what's stated. Again, ask questions PRIOR to purchasing if you have any concerns.
IMAGES:
All images/pictures are stock photos and are for reference only, mainly to show the type of game you will be getting. Please read "WHAT YOU GET" for what is included with the media. Screenshots may vary based on your own computer system, video card, monitor, etc.
COMPATIBILITY:
Computers are like people, each one is different. Unlike console games, a computer game may install and work flawlessly on one system but may need adjustments on another. This is due to a variety of factors, mainly the OS platform running, video card you have, drivers, protection software installed, etc. Many times manufacturers release updates to games to fix bugs and add enhancements. We would be happy to help get the game going on your computer, but ultimately compatibility issues are the responsibility of the buyer. We suggest going to Google and searching for the name of the game along with the words "system requirements" to determine if your system is suitable. Ultimately, we are not responsible for software compatibility problems or publisher's errors.
PLATFORM:
Stated within the auction is what platform the game will work on (ie. Windows, Mac, Linux...) This is a generic statement and specific platform versions (ie. XP, Vista...) will have to be researched by the buyer. Games that came out PRIOR to XP or higher will not specifically state they will work on that release, but only because they came out before those versions were made. Many, if not most, will work on XP or higher with a few quick adjustments. We provide instructions with all items purchased on how to do this adjustment using the Program Compatibility Wizard. If we find out that an item will definately not work on a specific version, we will state it. For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program if the Program Compatibility Wizard does not work.
64-Bit Windows OS Systems:
For 64-bit Operating Systems, older games most likely will NOT work due to 64-bit systems not being able to run 16-bit programming code (most games prior to 2000). For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program.
Macintosh Systems:
For Macintosh programs, most older games will need to be run in Classic Environment if you have a MAC OS X 10.0 - 10.4 version. Please research Google on how to do this, or send us a message for information prior to purchasing. If your MAC OS system doesn't support Classic Environment (ie. MAC OS X 10.5 or Higher OR Intel Macs), you will have to try running it using the free program called SheepShaver, but compatibility is not ensured. Please research prior to purchasing or ask questions.
MEDIA FORMAT:
Please verify you have the required hardware in order to use the specified media (ie. CD, DVD, floppy drives, etc.) If the item comes as a floppy disc, make sure you have either the needed 3.5" floppy drive or the bigger and older 5.25" floppy drive.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SMOOTH PURCHASE:
Ask questions PRIOR to purchasing an order to avoid any confusion.
Be patient if there are problems during installation or gameplay. Typically someone else has
already ran into that problem and has listed a solution online. Contact us and we will do our best to help.
Be sure to update your video card drivers and search for updates to the game from the manufacturer.
