When getting to know in-laws, there is so much more than what meets the eye. Soon-to-be married couple Mark Tobias (Ryan Reynolds) and Melissa Peyser (Lindsay Sloane) want a simple wedding, but their plans are hijacked by their parents. Jerry Peyser (Albert Brooks), a podiatrist, wants every part of being involved in the wedding, as well as getting to know Mark's father, Steve (Michael Douglas), whom he considers to be shady and mysterious. Little does Jerry know, Steve is an undercover CIA agent whose work has completely taken over his life, even finding its way into his own son's wedding. When Steve's undercover mission inadvertently involves Jerry, it has consequences on the relationship of their children.
