Summary: HMMM...DID WE ALL WATCH THE SAME MOVIE?
Review: I'll be blunt: this movie is definitely NOT as funny as many people would like you to think it is. Oh, it has its moments here and there during which you'll chuckle and giggle. A couple of lines will even have you laugh out loud. Just don't expect the riotous laughfest that's been promised by reviews on this site or by the television commercials themselves. The DVD includes a couple of deleted scenes, one of which ("Surf & Tur*") should definitely have been left in the film because it's actually funny. The outtakes should have been omitted altogether because, frankly, they're boring. This is not the worst film you could ever watch, but it certainly doesn't live up to the hype. This is a definitely NOT a purchase. Maybe worth a rental if there's nothing else available, otherwise skip it.

Summary: Funny Stuff!
Review: Just when you thought you knew funny, Ben Stiller does it again! In the same mold as his starring turn in Something About Mary, Stiller will make you laugh in that "im sure glad that isnt me" way. Deniro is at his comic best as he IS the epitome of the frightening "father of the girl you're dating". Jay Roach has created another movie, in the tradition of his previous directorial bids Austin Powers 1 + 2, which is extremely watchable - most of the jokes are as funny the third or fourth time you see them as they are the first. Scene after scene, Meet the Parents consistently delivers stomach churning laughs. It isnt Shakespeare, but it will definitely give you a few good laughs. I wont give away anything of the plot, because with this movie the less you know, the more you are gonna laugh. One of my favorites already. I highly recomend it!

Summary: The Most Genuine Comedy in Years
Review: On the outside, Meet the Parents may seem like a movie similar to There's Something About Mary or Me, Myself, and Irene. This movie is quite the opposite. It is the product of a great director, Jay Roach, and two men, Ben Stiller and Robert De Niro, who know what true comedy is all about. It is a perfect movie for the whole family and the only possible thing that could be wrong with it is that Ben Stiller's name is Greg Focker. Every scene is filled with good, clean and is a must see for everyone.

Summary: Don't expect "Mary"
Review: At $165 Million, this film was number seven at the box office for 2000. Though it is funny in parts, as is often the case with blockbusters I am left scratching my head at its runaway popularity. Comparisons with "There's Something About Mary" are unavoidable. Ben Stiller plays the same kind of sincere but hapless character in each film and they both have a wry and offbeat presentation. However, the humor in this film is far more lowbrow than "Mary". It is also highly predictable. The least perceptive of viewers can see the outcome of each gag a mile away. I suppose there is an element of identification with the premise, since most people remember their own consternation at the big meeting with the parents of their beloved. Perhaps the appeal of the film is that we love to laugh at people who are more luckless than we are, and Greg (Ben Stiller) clearly has no equal when it comes to the bad luck he has in this film. Ben Stiller is fast establishing himself as one of the most accomplished Sad Sacks in film today. He portrays characters with such sincerity and misfortune that you can't help but love him. In this film, he continues that tradition with an outstanding performance as Greg. Robert De Niro, who is a great dramatic actor, continues his recent trend away from serious drama and toward offbeat comedy roles ("Flawless", "Analyze This", "Rocky and Bullwinkle"). Although his very presence in films like this is comical due to its incongruity, he is not a particularly good comedian. I'm looking forward to seeing him in his latest film "Fifteen Minutes" which is a more serious dramatic role better suited to his enormous talent. I was very impressed with Teri Polo, who played Pam. She has genuineness and an affable nature that is well suited for romantic comedy. This is a good comedy, but nowhere near as good as the box office would lead us to believe. I rated it a 7/10. It is a fun flick with absurdly exaggerated humor and numerous belly laughs, but don't expect it to be as good as "Mary".

Summary: Meet the Mixed Review...
Review: I only just watched this last night...I must say...The movie was funny. I like Ben Stiller. I think he is a fantastic actor. His character was a little dull, to be honest..but he portrayed Greg Focker brilliantly.....Deniro's character remind me of his character in This boy's life..though a little less aggressive....that changed however as the film progressed. Funny moments...Stiller in a tight Speedo. The Water volleyball game. The cat's tail. The fire....well...alot was funny.. The Mixed part....I only saw the VHS version of this. I wanna get the DVD to see the deleted scenes...I think that sometimes helps to explain a movie. I felt there was way too many attempts at comedy. The whole movie didn't have to be this hilarious mishappen masterpiece...the end was dissapointing, but worked and had it humor.... I would buy this movie....It was worth 4 stars....

Summary: Funny! Deniro is hilarious!
Review: I did not know that Deniro had such comic range, but apparently he does! This movie is a hilarious depiction of meeting new in-laws. Everyone should see it, especially those who are engaged to be married. Enjoy!

Summary: No wonder this movie bombed in the theaters!!
Review: Don't get fooled by the snappy trailer ... this is one unfunny film. You're going to get suckered by the Stiller / De Niro billing, but you're in for a major disappointment. Like the characters in the film, MTP is stiff, dry, even painful to watch. I still can't get over how the trailer set up my expectations. Shame on the Hollywood marketing machine for duping the general public. This movie bombed in the theaters, and deservedly so.
