Critic Reviews for In-Laws: Season 1
All Critics (12) | Top Critics (8) | Fresh (1) | Rotten (11)
Answers the question: Is it possible for the supercool Dennis Farina to be unlikable in a role? Yes, yes, a thousand times yes.
In-Laws, which Kelsey Grammer produces, feels like a hybrid of All in the Family and Everybody Loves Raymond, without either series' cleverness. [Dennis] Farina is so overbearing that the show turns unpleasant.
A mix of solid old pros and appealing younger stars makes the uninspired writing tolerable.
Those who have seen the film, Meet the Parents, will think of In-Laws as a cheap imitation of a movie that wasn't all that great.
Clearly inspired by the big-screen success of "Meet the Parents," "In-Laws" is a one-joke show that gets old fast.
If only it was funnier. Oh, there are a few laughs, but the batting average on the gags is pretty low.
