2003 - Rated PG-13 - 1 hr 38 min
Director: Andrew Fleming
Starring: Albert Brooks, Michael Douglas, Ryan Reynolds, Robin Tunney, Lindsay Sloane, Maria Ricossa
This movie uses a similar framework to Meet the Parents but with a different spin. The parents of a young to-be-married couple are getting to know each other when the groom's father (Michael Douglas) gets the bride' father (Albert Brooks) into a whole lot of trouble. Douglas is an undercover CIA agent - waaaaay undercover - and Brooks gets accidentally dragged along. He's nervous, uptight, and scared of almost everything, adding to the awkward comedy of this movie.
The young couple is played by Ryan Reynolds and the chick that played Big Red in Bring It On. Reynolds is like a little baby in this movie. They're okay, but not really a focal point of the film, just necessary players to set up this wacky premise.
It's a fun movie, nothing extraordinary, but the chemistry between Douglas and Brooks is worth watching.
