What critics compared The Out-of-Towners to
In a comic movie tradition that goes from “Date Night,” “After Hours” to Neil Simon’s “The Out-of-Towners,” this nice suburban couple find themselves venturing out into the dark side of the city, trading bullets with bad guys, infiltrating an underground fight club, and trying to get bloodstains out of an adorable little dog’s fur.
In one fell swoop, and a pretty swell fell swoop it is, the new "Godzilla" makes up for the 1998 Godzilla movie, the one with Matthew Broderick up against the sea beast klutzing around New York like Jack Lemmon in "The Out-of-Towners."
They manage to pick up the weed without much difficulty, actually, but the trouble comes after, in the kinds of obstacles that are familiar from every family-adventure comedy from The Out-of-Towners to National Lampoon's Vacation.
