Quotes: Connie:
She's obviously made up her mind, so let's just handle this like mature adults. Walter:
Right, right... you distract him, and I'm gonna hit him in the head with a shovel.
User Review
Destined to be a cult classic!
Rating: 8/10
Son In Law didn't do so hot in the box office, but that only means the
masses were wrong. This movie is one of the few movies that Pauly Shore
really excels in, with some of the funniest lines I've ever heard. Although
the ending is sub-par, the antics of Shore carries the
movie.
