Plot
Steve Tobias (played by Douglas), is a rogue CIA agent whose son, Mark (played by Reynolds), is getting married to Melissa Peyser (played by Lindsay Sloane). Her father is mild-mannered foot doctor, Jerry Peyser (played by Brooks). When the two families meet for dinner, Peyser stumbles on to Steve Tobias' secret as he tries to set up a deal to sell a Russian submarine named Olga to an arms smuggler in France. As Peyser's incidental involvement increases, he is suspect by the FBI of being part of the deal. Dragged kicking a screaming, Peyser decides doesn't want to be involved in the deal or with Tobias' family. The two fathers-in-law end up dodging bullets, jumping off buildings and stealing jets together as they attempt to avoid capture by the FBI.
