Editorial Review:
Amazon.com
Even with Pauly Shore as the "star," this 1993 comedy is a bit better than you might think. Shore plays an insouciant college student asked by a friend (Carla Gugino) to pretend to be her fiancé over Thanksgiving break, thus discouraging a jerk back in her hometown from proposing. Shore's character agrees but is given a hard time by the girl's salt-of-the-earth family of farmers. The hero and Gugino's character actually have a crush on each other, and now that they have an opportunity to explore romance, their relationship is threatened by poor Pauly's tests of rural manhood. Shore aside, the strong cast--including Gugino and Lane Smith--lend this thing some credibility; and the script doesn't take any shortcuts in moving the characters beyond their assumptions about one another. --Tom Keogh
Description
Middle America will never be the same when comedian Pauly Shore (ENCINO MAN) travels to the Midwest and becomes the SON-IN-LAW. Shore stars as Crawl, L.A.'s funkiest college student, who's hilariously out of his element when he spends Thanksgiving at the family farm of a straitlaced college co-ed (Carla Gugino -- SPY KIDS). Crawl's unlike anything the Midwesterners have ever seen -- outside the barn that is! But before long, Crawl's plowing his way into their hearts with his outrageous antics and offbeat attempts at farming. Get ready for a truckload of laughs and a half-ton of hysteria with this totally irreverent comedy!

3 out of 5 stars Guilty pleasure fave of mine.......2007-06-03

I'm not sure I'd describe this movie as excellent, or one of the best comedies. I'll leave that to the classcs that have earned that, particularly through the test of time. However, the word "classic" is loosely interpreted these days (See "TCM" or "AMC")- comedy moreso. And "The Son-In-Law" has a comfort food feel about it, in spite of the presence of the obtrusive talents of Pauly Shore, of whom I don't consider myself a fan of, but indeed a fan of a few movies of his. This is my favorite. Direction of this movie does a good job of making you feel the different perspectives of its characters, especially for a movie that really isn't meant to be taken that seriously. I don't think it's any coincidence that this movie finds lots of TV time around the holidays, because it does have a warm, fuzzy, familar feel to it, especially for a "fish out of water" comedy. Shore plays that fish well. I had actually hoped for better future scripts to utilize Shore after this. But his run was very short lived. The supporting cast around him and a well cast Carla Gugino, the simple country girl whom Shore transforms from caterpillar to butterfly, too is nicely cast, including one of my favorite supporting/character actors Lane Smith, who in my opinion has a tendency to steal scenes in the movies he's part of. Long time fave Tiffani-Amber Theisan, and one time fave Patrick Renna, who put out his 2 best efforts of his career (including "The Sandlot") the year this movie was released), along with a few other famiilar faces combine for an effective cast that takes a simple plot and script and creates a fun movie that depends on archetypes to achieve it's end. What else would you expect from a Shore movie? Did anyone really expect Academy material from Shore after "Encino Man"? This is one of those movies that I find myself watching whenever it's on. It's just a simple, fun movie. And there ain't nothing wrong with that.

4 out of 5 stars Son-in-Law.......2007-03-08

Pauly Shore is histerical in this movie. A movie that will keep you laughing all the way to the end. It's the perfect movie for teenagers and early twenties that is looking forward to college or understands what college is like.

4 out of 5 stars excellent, halarious, classic!!.......2006-11-26

pauly shore is halarious in this sidesplitting comedy. read above for what the movie's about, anyway, on with the review.

the plot is very unique. these days in 2006 i'm not sure how it'd fly though, but in its day it was the shiznit. anyway, this movie is not only unique, and funny, but yet very unpredictable. nothing about it is stereotypical, except the continous laughter.

buy this dvd. 4 stars!

4 out of 5 stars Pauly cracks me up.......2006-11-10

Not everybody likes Shore but I find him so funny. We have several of his stuff on vhs and are purchasing over to dvds. If anyone can remember the way we talked in the 70's they will like his kind of comedy. I find him very amusing and I can relate to his style.

5 out of 5 stars son-in-law.......2006-08-31

One of the funniest movies of all time. But you need to be hip to dig it all.

5 out of 5 stars Old School Classic.......2007-06-11

This is one of my all time favorites. "Damn father, you having trouble tryna find a husband for your daughter, you ain't gone neva find a wife for your son-Petey Wheatstraw

i seen this movie at the show years agao, i ordered it and never got it...

5 out of 5 stars That's my FATHER!!!.......2004-07-31

Funny enough I had never seen this movie until I turned 21 years old. I had heard my mom talk about my father acting in a couple of movies, but I hadn't seen any of them until this one. This was one of the funniest, worst movies I have ever seen. It was rediculous but hilarious. I couldn't help but laugh throughout the movie. My dad Marvin Jones plays Scarface Willie in the movie, and it was funny to watch him act. Cliff Roquemore was my father's best friend and it was nice to see his children throughout the movie. I give this movie 5 stars for it being funny and chock full of my family!

5 out of 5 stars Great Old-Fashioned Comedy!.......2002-05-10

While sitting on the couch trying to recover from an extremely painful tooth extraction, I looked around for a diversion. My eyes lighted on this video, which I had purchased previously but not yet viewed. I was not disappointed; this turned out to be one of the funniest movies I have seen in years! Every character and situation was taken to the extreme, the plot was ludicrous but oh so funny, and Petey's poetic jokes were hilarious. It looked like everyone was enjoying playing his/her role to the hilt. Petey's attempt to beat Lucifer at his own game was bound to fail, as we all knew it would, but it was sure fun watching him try to get out of marrying the ugliest woman ever seen. A few splashes of wisdom are thrown in for good measure. Leroy and Skillet were a comedy team who should have gone straight to the top of the comedic ladder of fame; they were funny enough to build a TV series around their shenanigans. It looked like everyone was having a great time making this film. I laughed from beginning to end and it sure helped take my mind off my throbbing jaw. This movie is offensive only if you are the type of person who takes life way too seriously and cannot laugh at his/her own human foibles. Though raunchy at times, it is a relief to view a comedy that doesn't rely on a continuous stream of sexual jokes to succeed, but creates a nice balance which results in a comedy all adults can enjoy. It has certainly gained a place among my top 10 most favorite comedy films. If you are willing to suspend any semblance of reality and just want to have a good time, get this movie. It is just the thing to brighten your day. Thank you, Mr. Wheatstraw and company, for reminding us that life does have its lighter moments.

5 out of 5 stars Ghetto Surrealism.......2001-11-10

This film is THE most deranged, horrific, nasty, disturbing, idiotic mess I have EVER seen pass itself off as a comedy. It's awesome.

At first, I thought this was the most inept movie ever made, but now I see that Rudy Ray and his partner in crime Cliff Roqumore made the first piece of Ghetto Surrealism to stink up the screen (This movie does actually bring to mind certain unpleasant odors). This accomplishment should not be denegrated simply because it was undoubtedly unintentional. Technical flaws aside(and they are plenty ample), there are images and scenarios in this film which play out in mind like a reoccuring nightmare(none of which I can recount without being censored). It is one of the most scatalogically obsessed films outside of Pink Flamingos or Salo, but I think it is more successful than either in its attempts to outrage.

The performances are all variations on racial stereotypes and ghetto caricatures. This film plays like some evil cartoon. Which is to say there is a devilish imagination at work, one with utter disregard for logic and restraint. And one, seemingly without any good intentions.

If you are looking for a twisted cinematic experience look no further.

Amazon.com

A superb quintet of older actors give the simple story of A Foreign Field a rich and resonant texture. Amos (Alec Guiness, Kind Hearts and Coronets, Star Wars) and Cyril (Leo McKern, Rumpole of the Bailey) are two British World War II veterans who return to the beaches of Normandy, where they'd come ashore almost 50 years earlier. They run into an American veteran named Waldo (John Randolph, Prizzi's Honor) and a woman named Lisa (Lauren Bacall, The Big Sleep, Dogville) whose brother died on D-Day. Waldo and Cyril have both come seeking the same woman who comforted them when they were wounded--but when they find her (Jeanne Moreau, Jules and Jim, La Femme Nikita), she's not what they remember. Nothing dramatic happens in A Foreign Film--the characters bicker, become friends, and go to graveyards--but in the hands of this group of great talents, small emotional moments seem full and rewarding. This is a sweet and gentle movie that carefully avoids any saccharine sentiment. Also featuring Geraldine Chaplin (Nashville, Talk to Her) and Edward Herrmann (The Cat's Meow, The Paper Chase). --Bret Fetzer

Description

Two British war vets (Alec Guinness and Leo McKern) meet an American vet (John Randolph) when all three return to Normandy on the 50th anniversary of D-Day. Old rivalries resurface, particularly when two of the men discover they are searching for the same lost love (Jeanne Moreau). A lonely woman (Lauren Bacall) with her own painful but mysterious memories joins the group, while the American vet's petulant daughter (Geraldine Chaplin) and bumbling son-in-law (Edward Herrmann) struggle to keep up with the exploits of their elders. This disparate band of survivors eventually finds common ground in the memory of what they lost on that fateful day in 1944. As seen on Masterpiece Theatre.

5 out of 5 stars ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS.......2007-03-27

WAT A FILM. SAW IT FIRST MANY YEARS AGO ON PBS AND WHILE SEARCHING LAUREN BACALL FILMS, CAME ACROSS IT AND ORDERED IT IMMEDIATELY.

THIS BRILLANT STORY GRABS YOU AND HOLDS YOU TIL THE VERY END. FINE, FINE ACTORS MIX WELL AND TELL A RIVETING STORY OF SOLDIERS WITH GUILT, A SISTEN TRYING TO REMEMBER HER BROTHERS FACE, A WWII "LADY OF THE EVENING", A DAUGHTER AND SON IN LAW WITH A STORY OF THEIR OWN, UNFOLDING AND MIXING BACK TOGETHER. EVERYONE LEARNS FROM ONE ANOTHER IN THIS FILM. SIR ALEC IS AT HIS BEST WITH THE LEAST AMOUNT OF WORDS TO BE SPOKEN HIS FACIAL EXPRESSIONS MANAGE TO CONVEY HIS OWN STORY

DO NOT MISS THIS FILM - IT SHOULD BE SHOWN TO EVERY MAN, WOMAN, AND CHILD, ESPECIALLY SCHOOL AGED CHILDREN. WHAT A LESS THEY COULD LEARN!

WATCH THIS FILM ... I DO, AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN!

5 out of 5 stars Under the Radar.......2007-03-01

Why isn't this film better known? The acting is beyond superb; the story is bittersweet. But the real star is Normandie itself. It's a war movie without bullets, save for the one that wreaks havoc on one of the lead characters off and on for 50-odd years. Don't miss.

5 out of 5 stars Peace propaganda.......2006-09-08

I happened to see this movie on Norwegian TV and it made a deep inpression. It is not about war, but about peace and hatred. Remembver the scene where Lauren Baccall had told that the soldier in the grave was her brother, a German? and Alec Guinnes. the only one whose life had been destroyed by the Germans, made military honors? Hatred breeds hatred, revenge breeds revenge. And when Giunnes' friend told Geraldine Chaplin why he held hand with a "fool" in public places. The Story abut the trip with Jeanne Moreau is just fun.
Recommendable, and without violence. The message comes through without demonstrating violence.

5 out of 5 stars absolutely marvelous film - must buy.......2005-10-24

Was fortunate enough to have taped this when it was shown on PBS' Masterpiece theatre and have anxiously awaited for it to be released on dvd.
truly one of the best to watch over and over again...there are a few light-hearted moments but get your hankies or kleenex out.
the entire cast is simply superb.

5 out of 5 stars A Foreign Field .......2005-09-30

This is my alltime favorite film, ever since it came out. The combination of fabulous actors, every one of them, a great story, and a completely moving moral element. Anyone who wants to see any of these actors at their best, or see characters develop increasing sensitivity, subtlety, sense of responsibility and love toward each other, you would appreciate this film.

    5 out of 5 stars A Fine Thriller.......2006-08-25

    Daniel Auteuil continues to impress me as one of today's finest actors -- in any language. This is a well-done thriller with an outstanding supporting cast, but it is Auteuil's film -- and he is -- well, merveilleux! Don't miss this one.

    4 out of 5 stars Nice, Tight European Mystery/Thriller........2003-02-09

    This is a taut & suspenseful thriller/mystery from Europe that, while not breaking any new ground, offers enough odd touches and twists to make it one of the better entries in the genre. Set in London, the film stars Daniel Auteuil, the wonderfully versatile French actor in an English-speaking part, as a private detective with a past. Auteuil is gifted, and he makes you accept him as this troubled and haunted ex-policeman, with nicely shaded touches. He is complimented with an excellent supporting cast that includes Nastassia Kinski and other English & French veterans.

    The film has a sad and horrific story centering it's plot, (a story all too true, unfortunately), and moves along at a nice pace. It held my interest all the way.

    The violence in the film is dealt with brutally but with tactful swiftness, not dwelt on or exaggerated. The direction is by Chris Menges, the award-winning cinematographer, and he does a good crisp job here. Well produced, and well worth your time if you like the genre.

    3 out of 5 stars Harrowing.......2001-10-29

    My score of only three stars is primarily because I found the end of the movie unrealistic. I am a die hard Daniel Auteiul fan (even if I can't spell his name hahaha) and I like the movie uh...well...Sorry, it's harrowing. It's very disturbing and I was sick for a week after viewing it. I decided that there are things that go on in the world that I am perfectly content to be ignorant about, and child prostitution/pornography are two of them-- don't get me wrong. I'll support any and all efficacious legislation to ban it and prosecute beyond the fullest extent of the law who produces or partakes in it, but I just...don't want to know the particulars. So this film gave a glimpse (probably based on real existing arrangements of how someone "high class" goes about renting children to feed his sexual desires) of that underworld, and well... It was too much for me, it made me cry. Is money really worth ANYTHING???

    5 out of 5 stars A superb international thriller.......2001-08-29

    One of the best international thrillers in the last ten years. Daniel Auteuil plays a French private investigator, now living in London because of a tragedy that killed his wife and daughter in Paris. He is summoned by a friend he knew in Paris, also now in London, who tells Auteuil's character that he has a job for him, which is to locate his wife's brother. The brother--the lost son of the title--is known for his drug excesses, and so it is not surprising that he would be missing.
    What is surprising is the chain of events that follows, taking Auteuil's character from London to Mexico and back, involving a prostitute, horrific child abuse, and corruption among the wealthy.

    Auteuil does a fine job as the P.I., Billie Whitelaw--one of my favorite British actresses--is suitably hard-edged in the role of the family matriarch, and Bruce Greenwood is credibly sleazy as the dealer in unspeakable practices. The investigator makes moral choices throughout the entire film that are so dead on target that every act of violence contributes to the power of this film. This is a terrific film and absolutely worth owning. I am proud to have this in my DVD collection.

    4 out of 5 stars A great One.......2001-05-31

    ---"Encino Man"---

    A brilliant what-if movie

    After watching "Caveman" ASIN: 6302658489, to see what life was really like way back then, it is time to speculate on what-if a cave dweller was thawed out in our time. We can not just choose anyone to portray a cave man in today's environment. So we pick an expert that already thinks this way, Brendan Fraser. To balance this we must also find someone to portray the serious scholar that observes and guides him through the intricacies of today's environment from driving to the Seven-Eleven; that person can only be Pauly Shore. Every serious scholar must have a protagonist to anchor the story, hence Sean Astin later to play "Kurt Vonnegut's Harrison Bergeron" (1995) ASIN: 6303801919

    Will the displaced caveman adapt? Will he survive? Is the cheese old and moldy? And more to the point will you survive with out laughing to death?
    --------------------------------------
    ---"Son-In-Law"---

    Love in the country

    A rural girl (Carla Gugino), the farmer's daughter, is sent to a big city school. There she meats and embraces the outside world. Evidently it is true that you can't keep them down on the farm. To escape a fate worse than death (marriage to a local yokel) she contrives and cajoles a fellow student Crawl (Pauly Shore) to be a pretend fiancé and potential Son-in-law.

    Now the clandestine meeting. The family slightly dysfunctional believes they found a weird dude to tinker with his mind. Sot of reminds you of a rural "My Man Godfrey". Crawl brings out the best in people and corrects the dysfunction.

    The real question remains will he really be the "Son-in-law?"

      1 out of 5 stars Sad piece of dookie.......2005-04-29

      If this is what manhood is all about, I think it's time to rethink our existance on this planet. Bad script and mediocre acting. Character stories were told incompletely so half the time you are trying to figure out what is going on.

      4 out of 5 stars The Stages of Becoming a Man.......2005-03-03

      MANHOOD is a film produced for television by Showtime, a resource that usually can be counted on to produce edgy interesting films about a wide variety of subjects, topics that wouldn't normally make it in the Hollywood arena. And MANHHOD is no exception. Written and directed by Bobby Scott, this is a follow-up (or should we dare call if a sequel?) to his JACK THE DOG, a film about a man with sexual addiction that incidentally used some of the same cast members as in the present continuation of Jack's story.

      Jack (Nestor Carbonell) is now separated from his wife and has struggled to maintain guardianship of his son Sam (Andrew J. Ferchland) despite his history of being a womanizer. He sees his therapist Alice (Bonnie Bedelia) regularly and has found a new stability in his father-son life, supporting his little family unit by being a photographer. Jack has a sister Jill (Janeane Garofalo) who, born with a congenital hip problem that required many surgeries and still makes her walk with a limp, has turned to drug abuse. She is married to a complete loser Eli (John Ritter in his last role before his untimely death) and, out of desperation to escape from her odious reality, asks Jack to care for her edgy quasi-delinquent son Charlie (Nick Roth).

      Jack accepts the challenge only to find that Eli is homeless and begs to move in with Sam also. With his new family unit of four men at various degrees of maladjustment, Jack soon sees Sam identifying with Charlie (drugs, piercing, sex etc) and when he is unable to convince Eli that he must find a job, he lays down the law and forces Eli to move. Charlie's reaction to this is one of repeated desertion. His mother Jill is unavailable to him, as she has become addicted to the internet dating complex, fearful of her rejection of men on a face-to-face encounter.

      An incredible tragedy occurs, witnessed by Jack and Sam and Charlie and this tragedy quietly brings the story to an end solely by showing the importance of bonding among men, whether father, son, nephew, etc.

      The cast is well chosen and includes minor roles for Tom Arnold, Barry Newman, Anthony LaPaglia and others. Though the story line gets muddled here and there by lack of focus or lack of judicious editing, the premise is good and the acting is first rate. Not a great film (and a rather confusing follow-up to JACK THE DOG without tending to the questions of how Jack faced his addiction and turned into the Jack of this movie), but there are some excellent character studies here, especially as performed by John Ritter in one his more serious roles.
