‘The Out-Laws’: What to Expect


If you thought meeting your spouse’s parents for the first time might make you anxious and raise your blood pressure, then you have got to meet Owen Browning and his would-be in-laws. The Out-Laws (2023) is Netflix’s latest action-comedy film, starring Adam DeVine as Owen, a security officer at a bank who tries his best to win over his fiancée’s parents, whom he meets for the first time at the wedding. But when his bank gets robbed, Owen suspects that the robbers might be his future in-laws and is about to have an experience of a lifetime, filled with shocking revelations and mysteries. The crime comedy film is directed by Tyler Spindel and written by Evan Turner and Ben Zazove, and is an Adam Sandler production for Netflix. The Out-Laws comes as a part of Sandler’s Netflix film deal that took off in 2020 and is one of five films he’s made with the streamer in 2023, including the recently released Murder Mystery 2 and the upcoming fall release Spaceman. While the Sandman doesn’t star in this one, the cast of The Out-Laws does include the likes of Ellen Barkin, Pierce Brosnan, and Richard Kind, among many other familiar faces in films and television, particularly in the comedy genre, but more on that in a bit.

Watch the Trailer for The Out-Laws

Remember Ben Stiller and Robert De Niro’s Meet the Parents (and/or Meet the Fockers)? Now, throw in some Murder Mystery-style goofy action and comedy, and you have got the trailer for The Out-Laws. The official trailer runs for nearly three minutes, which allows more than a peek into the plot and characters. As the trailer shows, DeVine’s Owen is the classic straight-and-narrow man who works as a security officer in a bank and is excited to get married to the love of his life, Parker McDermott. And then his super-mysterious in-laws arrive just in time for the wedding, and Owen tries really hard to impress them. His parents, on the other hand, don’t seem to like the McDermott’s as much, and the feeling seems mutual from Parker’s parents. The McDermotts also don’t seem to approve of Parker’s choice, but when they learn that Owen heads security at a bank, they have a complete change of behavior, and we soon find out why. The lukewarm meet-and-greet is followed by a sequence of chaotic events, including a bank heist where Owen suspects his in-laws and a rival gang chasing the McDermotts to retrieve the money they stole. Packed with speedy action, car chases, car crashes, and cash flying out of said cars, The Out-Laws seems to be an ultimate entertainer. More so with Brosnan and Poorna Jagannathan starring as characters the likes of which we never get a chance to see them play.

Who’s Making The Out-Laws?

The Out-Laws is directed by Tyler Spindel from a screenplay written by Evan Turner and Ben Zazove. Spindel is best known for previously directing The Wrong Missy, also a Netflix film, and Father of the Year.

DeVine and Brosnan also serve as producers for The Out-Laws, along with Adam Sandler under his Happy Madison Productions, which also produced Spindel’s The Wrong Missy.
