Pauly Shore shines as Crawl, the catalyst hero in this often overlooked feel good comedy called Son in Law that serves up a slice of Americana while also redeeming its characters during the Thanksgiving season. We feel like it is more than just a run-of-the-mill over-angst-ed '90s comedy and more in the like of being a classic. Or it could be one of our guilty pleasures. Here is the story: "Country girl Rebecca (Carla Gugino) has spent most of her life on a farm in South Dakota, and, when she goes away to college in Los Angeles, Rebecca immediately feels out of place in the daunting urban setting. She is befriended by a savvy party animal named Crawl (Pauly Shore), who convinces the ambivalent Rebecca to stay in the city. When Thanksgiving break rolls around, Rebecca, no longer an innocent farm girl, invites Crawl back to South Dakota, where he pretends to be her fiancé."
