Steve Rash directed Son in Law. The film comes from a story by Patrick J. Clifton, Susan McMartin, and Peter M. Lenkov and is written by Fax Bahr, Adam Small, and Shawn Schepps. Along with Shore, the film stars Lane Smith, Carla Gugino, Cindy Pickett, Mason Adams, Patrick Renna, Tiffani-Amber Thiessen, and Flea. The movie also features a special appearance from Brendan Fraser reprising his role from Encino Man, another Shore film.
“I feel it when I go on the road,” Shore said of the nostalgia fans feel for his classic films, per Screen Rant. “When I’m touring, I feel people’s hearts because they look at me like they remember a good time. When they see me they’re like, ‘Man, Pauly Shore. We really had fun with that guy.’ And now, because of the world and what’s going on, everyone’s kind of on edge with these phones, and everyone’s kind of got this eggshell feeling around themselves. So people look at me, and they look at that time as freedom and no filter. It’s great.”
On how his movies are still appreciated by the fans, regardless of any negative reviews they’d gotten at the time, Shore added, “I mean, those movies, people can make fun of them, the industry or whatever, but they’ve been putting food on my table for years and making people happy. There is a huge audience out there that really enjoys those… It was a point in time where I hit, where MTV was the hottest thing in the world, when everyone was looking at MTV, and I was right there. I was young, and it was awesome. It was pretty cool. It was a fun run.”
