Merry In-Laws 2012


     Peter and Alex have been very happy together and Peter asks Alex to marry him just before Christmas.  There are two problems, Alex hasn’t met Peter’s parents and Alex’s parents aren’t very happy about Peter as a son-in-law?  Peter’s parents come to visit just before Christmas and they are leaving on Christmas Eve.  What Alex doesn’t know is that Peter’s parents came by sleigh and it landed on the roof.  Peter’s father brought along his Naughty and Nice Book.  They need to leave by Christmas Eve because they will have a lot of gifts to deliver all over the world on that night.  Alex’s parents aren’t very happy with Peter’s parents and now even less happy about Peter.
     There are a lot of funny moments in this film!!  Alex and her son Max want to believe Peter’s parents are Mr. and Mrs. Claus but her parents are very forceful in their belief that this is impossible.  Mr. Claus demonstrates to Peter’s students that a large round man can fit down the chimney!!  Mysteriously, Max discovers the very large Naughty and Nice Book under the bed of Mr. Claus!!  3 ½* (I liked this movie)
