According to IMDB's trivia, Premiere Magazine listed this among their '50 best comedies ever'....though after seeing the movie, I have no idea why. Sure, it's a nice film but nothing more. And, with my expectations set that high, I felt a tad disappointed.
A young couple are getting married. Unfortunately, the groom's father, Vince (Peter Falk) comes off as a real weirdo and the bride's father, Sheldon (Alan Arkin), thinks Vince is a real flake. What he doesn't know is that he's also very dangerous and soon involves Sheldon in an international plot to destroy the world's economy....via a weird dictator in the land of Tijada and with the help of the CIA.
This buddy comedy is pleasant but I remember no deep belly laughs. This is NOT to fault the movie makers....they did a decent job. Overall, worth seeing...just don't expect as much as you might have been led to believe.
