Son in Law

About This Movie

So, 'Son in Law' gives you a pretty solid mix of comedy and heart. Rebecca, played by Carla Gugino, really embodies that fish-out-of-water vibe—it's all about her struggles adjusting to the LA scene. Paired with Pauly Shore's Crawl, the dynamic hits just the right notes of chaos and charm. The pacing has that classic '90s feel, with a good balance of laughs and the sweetness of young love. It’s not groundbreaking, but the chemistry is fun, and the supporting cast brings a lot of warmth. Plus, I always appreciate the practical effects—there's a tangible quality here that adds to its charm. Definitely one of those flicks that captures a specific era well.
