Son In Law

Found this film at Wal-Mart for $5 bucks and it was an instant decision to snatch it up. Haven’t seen it in forever, but there are still lines that we use from it time and again. And it still holds up. The film is the classic fish-out-of-water story and here we see it both ways. First the country girl goes off to college in California and transforms, and then the LA guy heads out to the farm and has his own transformation. Throw in family squabbling, combining, and a botched date-rape stage and you have a pretty interesting flick.

This is the first film in which a lot of people discovered Pauly Shore. Before this, there weren’t too much mainstream hits attached to his name. Some people really can’t handle him though. And I can see that. He could definitely be an annoying kind of a guy for most. But I really enjoy watching his stupid antics – IN THE ARMY NOW, BIO-DOME, and JURY DUTY – all films that bring a strange smile over my face.

SON IN LAW is a film for certain type of people. If you’re a DUMB AND DUMBER fan and can handle Pauly Shore, check out SIL. It’s an interesting ride.
