The Out-Laws

This is one of those comedies where you only watch it because you stumbled onto it on Netflix. You aren't even looking forward to watching it but you have a 90 minutes to kill. You watch it, get mildly entertained, finish it and forget about it. You enjoy your time with it but move on.

That being said it wasn't bad at all. The main actor just seems to have no range at all. I like him, but he plays the same role in every film or tv show he is in. The other actors were pretty funny especially Pierce Brosnan. It was refreshing to see him in a goofball comedy.

Just another I have some time to kill so let's watch it movie.

Unfortunately I can not think of a single good thing to say about this movie. It's bad. Really, really bad. The script is terrible. I assume the actors only did this to pay off a debt. Adam Devine is easily the worst lead actor in cinematic history, so I hope he rakes in the Razzie Awards. Well deserved.

Adam Sandler produced this train wreck, so I didn't have high expectations in the first place. Those expectations were lowered almost immediately. Not even Pierce Brosnan could save this terrible movie.

If you have the "outlaw" in-laws holding a gun to your head, then sure, watch it. But if you a sock drawer that needs sorting or drying paint that needs watching, do that instead.

Considering some of the garbage netflix has released recently I was expecting this to have a better review. Was this a ground breaking film? Absolutely not but it's a comedy with Adam DeVine you'd think people would know what they're getting into. Like most comedic actors he has one role he normally plays, in his case an idiot. He does it well and I laughed the entire movie. Maybe it was the edible I ate who knows but this movie was very enjoyable for me. Everyone was good/funny and it was a refreshing plot for a comedy. Are you gonna wanna see this in 70mm in imax? Probably not but it'a a solid movie for a night in.

There a few laughs in the movie, I gotta give it that. But for the most part this movie is stupid, cliche and down right annoying. Adam Divine is a frigging train wreck, his delivery of the dialogue is so over the top it's hard to stomach. His screaming like a baby is neither funny or any way entertaining and there is way, way too much of it. The thing is, with some better casting and better direction it could have been a great movie. Nina Dobrev is the exception, she's pretty much makes it all work. Ellen Barkin and Pearce Brosnen have a pretty good pedigree but seem miscast and are not believable. How we made to the end, I don't know.

I've never been a big fan of Adam, but Pierce/Ellen/Richard and Julie as the parents?! That meal scene alone was hilarious and worth the watch. Orgies?! How could you not cackle at Julie's character taking about attending those when she was younger? And I just love those four anyway. How fun to see Julie on screen again! I wish they would have all gotten more screen time though.

Same with Dean. He's outrageous and should have been utilized to a larger degree.

The main couple were fine, but everyone else stole the limelight.

I watch movies for entertainment. I'm not one to analyze them. Was I entertained? Yes. I enjoyed it.
