Adam Devine, Ellen Barkin, and Pierce Brosnan do all they can to steal your hearts, but this movie will only rob you of your time.
Between My Big Fat Greek Wedding to Crazy Rich Asians, family comedies about meeting one’s in-laws might not have reinvented the scary, pressure-cooker experience so many undergo, but they undoubtedly set a high bar with their flawless charm. For years, studios have tried their hardest to resuscitate the classic comedy brimming with memorable one-liners and slapstick humor in a landscape of blockbuster franchises, yet nothing stands out on its own.
However, things take a major turn after Owen makes a phone call to a storage locker facility holding Parker’s belongings. As luck would have it, his soon-to-be-in-laws, Billy and Lilly suddenly show up.
Ellen Barkin and Pierce Brosnan are Underutilized in 'The Out-Laws' The two veteran actors are at the top of their game with the material, offering some very sly, deadpan delivery that complements DeVine’s standup experience. But it also feels like Brosnan gets more growth and understanding than Barkin’s character, who is often left to the wayside much like Dobrev’s. Both women are incredible talents outside this film, but The Out-Laws doesn’t make much use of them.
Audiences will get a kick out of Rooker’s character, FBI agent Roger Oldham, who’s on the trail of the Ghost Bandits and manages to work with DeVine. Though his character falls into the age-old trope of “divorced detective wants his wife back,” he makes it work most comically and with timing that plays well to DeVine’s. Jagannathan as Rehan, the Ghost Bandits’ rival and Parker’s kidnapper does a great job and is one of the most underrated actresses of our time.
