espoinage and just plain fun!! If you've never seen this movie

From a reviewer at IMDb.com:
Melissa Peyser (Lindsay Sloane) and Mark Tobias (Ryan Reynolds)
are getting married. Her father Jerry (Albert Brooks) is a
mild-mannered podiatrist. His father Steve (Michael Douglas)
is a copier salesman or at least that's his cover. He's actually
a deep cover CIA operative. Jerry stumbles onto Steve's secret
operation and he is pulled into his crazy wild undercover
chaos. The FBI is after them. There is a bad guy that likes
Jerry. Steve has a side kick Angela Harris (Robin Tunney).
Jerry is dragged along kicking and screaming.
It's an odd-couple pairing with Brooks and Douglas. Brooks
has a few funny moments screaming and crying. The fact that
none of his family believes him is somewhat annoying. It's
a lot of hit and miss joking around. There is a lot that
makes me roll my eyes. However there is enough laughs that
I can barely cling to. Neurotic Brooks gives just enough
to let this pass. - SnoopyStyle
