Leave your thoughts about Son in Law.
| New TimesLuke Y. ThompsonMedium-funny culture clash humor contrasting California with the rural south. |
| Chicago TribuneJohanna SteinmetzThe movie might have had a chance if it had abandoned all the false sentiment and simply acknowledged Crawl as the cretin he is. John Belushi would have known how to play this part. |
| Washington PostDesson ThomsonWell, the movie's dumber than a coop full of chickens, but Pauly Shore makes a funny barnyard animal. |
| Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanIn ”Son-In-Law,” Pauly Shore is like MTV’s missing Marx Brother; call him Sleazo. For once, he makes being utterly shameless seem halfway likable. |
| Common Sense MediaBrian CostelloDated '90s Pauly Shore comedy has frequent sexual references |
| The Seattle TimesJeff ShannonThere are moments here in which Shore actually behaves like a recognizable human being with some semblance of feelings, emotions and conscience. Happily, his acting skills are adequate to the task. |
| Los Angeles TimesMichael WilmingtonIn the end, you can’t have much movie fun with freakiness if you aren’t willing to freak the movie out a little. |
| EmpireKim NewmanTerrible, but not worth getting worked up about. |
| Miami HeraldRene RodriguezLet's just say that compared to Son-in-Law, Green Acres is Noel Coward. |
| New Orleans Times-PicayuneDavid BaronUnless you're among those who admit to an inexplicable admiration for Shore, Son-in-Law will rate as one of the most unpleasant, grating experiences of the summer. |
