Summary: Great Comedy
Review: Meet the Parents is just plain funny. There is nothing terribly new about this movie. In most ways it feels exactly like Something About Mary. But that is quite all right. Both movies are hilarious, and the parallels only seem to strengthen this movie. The best parts are the interactions between De Niro and Stiller. De Niro plays the perfect straight edge, conservative parent whom Stiller just cant seem to please. You can feel for Stiller every time he bungles, and that makes it all more engaging and funny. The movie mostly avoids excessive gags and instead focuses on situational comedy: putting Stiller in uncomfortable situations and watching him make things worse. It's a perfect recipe for great comedy.

Summary: There is Something About Ben
Review: Ben Stiller does a great job portraying ordinary men in unusual situations. He is probably best known for "Something About Mary," which was a very, very, funny film. In "Meet the Parents" he again portrays an average man in a weird situation.In particular, he portrays a young man in love, who just wants to get married. His first attempt to propose doesn't work, so he plans a romantic proposal at his fiance's home that weekend. Her father, played by Robert De Niro, is a little strange. He is either in the Mafia or the CIA, but he is up to something. He definitely loves his cat. Greg, Ben Stiller's character, doesn't like cats much; but he keeps his mouth shut. From this point onward the movie has a series of strange, but for the most part, believable twists. The comedy is funny, because we can believe it and are happy it is happening to someone else. Toward the end, however, the movie goes a little bit overboard. You can still believe it, if you think Greg is close to a breakdown. I didn't believe it, so the ending took away from the movie. Still, I found myself laughing out loud several times while watching "Meet the Parents." There is something about Ben Stiller which makes otherwise ordinary films, much better. Here he has again done a very good job. "Meet the Parents" is fun and worth seeing. A 3.5.

Summary: Sad
Review: Maybe my expectations for this movie were too high. I had heard that this was a hilarious movie filled with funny moments. What I saw a an almost unwatchable movie that is anything but funny. If you are reading this review then most likely you've seen the others and have a general sense of the plotline. I won't bore you with banal details. This is Ben Stiller trying to cash in on the same vein as There's Something About Mary (I really didn't think this was funny either). It is predictible slapstick which fails miserably to be funny. Too many stupid things occur in this film and it just becomes annoying. It is also sad to see De Niro in this role. You think of Goodfellas, Casino, and Taxi Driver and then this. He should know that after almost thirty years in film that comedies are not his strong-suit. I felt bad seeing him in this film. Owen Wilson is the only bright spot. His portrayal of the perfect ex-fiance is the only time I found myself laughing.

Summary: Meet The Parents Rules!
Review: This movie was so great that it was funny the moment it started. Usually comedy movies don't become funny at least 10 minutes into the movie, but with "Meet The Parents" the comedy is there the moment the film starts! This is one of those movies that you would want to watch over and over...because it is that funny! If you want to see the funny side of Robert DeNiro...this is the one to get. I have to admit Robert DeNiro was also funny in "Analyze This" but his true comedy side picks up in "Meet The Parents". A true classic in the making! 5 Stars all the Way!

Summary: Meet the Parents
Review: You don't need a lot of words to describe a movie this funny. I really didn't stop laughing from the very first minute of the movie. I admit that I have been disappointed by Stiller movies in the past, like "There's Something About Mary" and "Mystery Men". I didn't hate them, but I didn't really want to watch them over again after seeing them. Ben and Deniro are both brillant together in this movie. They are both from completely different planets as far as comedic prowess and that makes them work great against each others characters. The play on Focker's name is just so hilarious. It's a great movie, I could watch it over and over again.

Review: Meet the Parents is hilarious. And the performances are genius. I can't tell you how brillaint DeNiro is. His comedic timing and expressions are perfect. It may be the very best performance he's done in years. I loved it! And Stiller does an awesome job as well. Very funny. Very well written. And very well made. The best comedy in years.
