‘The Out-Laws’ Trailer: Adam Devine Gets Roped Into A Heist By Pierce Brosnan And Ellen Barkin In New Netflix Comedy

Meeting your loved one’s parents is hard enough. How many comedies have been made about the minefield of potential disasters that awaits? Well, imagine how much harder it would be if your future in-laws were Pierce Brosnan and Ellen Barkin. How intimidating would that be? And what if they were secretly badass criminals, too? Well, that awaits Adam Devine in Netflix’s new comedy, The Out-Laws.

As seen in the new trailer, Devine plays Owen a straight-laced bank manager set to meet his future wife’s (Nina Dobrev) parents for the first time on the week of their wedding. But after a few drinks and a terrible first encounter, the bank Owen works at gets robbed, and he thinks he thinks he knows the culprits! Throw in some kidnapping, an impossible heist, and a dogged detective played by Michael Rooker, and this looks pretty fun.

The film is directed by Tyler Spindel (The Wrong Missy), and co-stars Poorna Jagannathan, Richard Kind, Lil Rel Howery, and Julie Hagerty.

The Out-Laws hits Netflix on July 7th.

Here’s the synopsis: Owen Browning (Adam Devine) is a straight-laced bank manager about to marry the love of his life, Parker (Nina Dobrev). When his bank is held up by the infamous Ghost Bandits during his wedding week, he believes his future in-laws (Pierce Brosnan and Ellen Barkin) who just arrived in town, are the infamous Out-Laws.
