But with each passing day, he grew stronger, more confident, more determined to take back his life. And as he did, something incredible happened.

- 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. Catalysts are rare characters in movies. They're essentially main characters that are fully formed at the start of the movie. And then they don't go through a change at all, but they change everybody else around them. And he affects all the family members. Right. So also if you're talking about classical mythology, like the Joseph Campbell book and everything like that and Chris Vogler and all that, and like the heroes journey, essentially Pauly's character in this movie would be called the trickster. He would fall in line with that archetype. But again, it was a catalyst hero. 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.
