Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

The In-Laws (1979)

Peter Falk is a zany guy who crashes into the quiet dentist life of Alan Arkin when their children get engaged.

Some parts made me chuckle ("serpentine!"), but it's mostly a series of slight variations of Falk forcing some wacky agenda while Arkin reacts exaggeratedly and almost gets killed. We're also occasionally treated to truly boring scenes of Arkin's family wondering what's happening.

A real letdown.
