Summary: Absolutely Hilarious ---- Perfect "time out" for adults
Review: Taking a "time out" from the demands of the day is important without a doubt. Seeing a movie more than once is something I rarely do but all of the comedy was great. I didn't know who Ben Stiller was but I see where he got such perfect comedic timing. Folks Anne Meara and Jerry Stiller must be proud. Greg is absolutely the perfect houseguest...polite, well mannered...trying everything in his power to absorb the insanity around him. To no avail we see as one mis-step leads to the worst case scenario everytime...I give this a ten. Whether Ben, as Greg, is contemplating the bathing suit or telling the "cat milking" story he gets my vote for the next James Bond. Sexy,witty, looks great in that "thought of a suit" and has terrific eyes.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Very funny, great acting
Review: This movie is about a guy (Ben Stiller), whose girlfriend decides it's time to introduce him to her parents. He of course wants to give a good impression, and through his efforts to do so, he ends up making a mess out of just about anything he does.

Robert De Niro is absolutely perfect in the role of the father, who is an ex-agent and is absolutely a nightmare future father-in-law.

Stiller is as funny as ever, and because his efforts to be liked is so natural and he's so unlucky, the viewer really likes him from the beginning.

Very good comedy.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Reallyawful De Niro "Humor"
Review: Listen readers, I am going to make this short. This movie has only about TWO good laughs. The humor isn't even "sobadit'sgood" humor similar to something like in NOTHING BUT TROUBLE. It is just plain bad. I have seen horror movies that have funnier comic relief than this provides for the running time! And if you think that is a turn off, it seems as long as THE STAND. You ever wondered why it says that there are "39 used copies for sale?" That is because everyone wants to get rid of it! De Niro and his agent must have been on PUFF THE MAGIC DRAGON.

On a good side, the acting is well and Owen Wilson is cool, even in this wasted role. Overall, too much attempted humor and not enough REAL humor.

1 star out of 4

Summary: Enjoyable comedy that will kill two hours
Review: A weekend meeting meant to impress parents turns into a disaster. Will appeal to those who love the clumsy oaf humour of Peter Sellers movies. Gratefully, De Niro plays a comedy role for a change. He was starting to play a parody of himself in one copycat role after another in films, where he usually chewed up the scenery. Not a great comedy but a sometimes fun one.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Meet a movie that should have won Best Picture
Review: Meet the Parents is a movie that should have won Best Picture. It would make a wonderful play. It's got plenty of comedy and a touch of sadness at the end. It could play at the Plymouth Theatre where Jekyll and Hyde used to be playing. It is a fabulous movie. There are only two deleted scenes but they're worth it. They are hilarious. Buy the movie. You'll thank me.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Still Laughing!
Review: This is one of the best comedies I've seen in a long time. It follows the story of Greg Focker ("just like it's spelled" hehe) and his struggle to fit into his girlfriend's family. He decides to "Meet the Parents" to ask if he can marry their daughter, but a twist of hilarious events leads to a great plot and darn funny movie!

Favorite quotes from this film:

"Well, if you're going to have little Fockers running around..."

"You didn't tell me much about your cat-milking days in Motown."

"That was a lot of.... information."

"They'd have to be interesting people, right? To name their son Gaylord Focker?"

Caught your interest? Thought so. Now BUY THIS FILM!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Just so over the top it rocks
Review: The wonderful comic delivery of the mother is brilliant!
If you check your reality at the door you go on an amazing over the top ride!! I Loved the whole idea of pushing reality to the limits. the more I watch it the funnier it gets

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Very funny movie!
Review: My two sisters, who are both public school teachers, think that this movie is hilarious. I didn't like it quite as much as they did but I agree that it is very funny. Ben Stiller is a male nurse who goes with his fiance over the Christmas holidays to meet her parents Robert De Nero and Blythe Danner (also known as Gwyneth Paltrow's real life mom). In his eagerness to make a good impression and gain acceptance he suffers through incredible humiliations and misadventures. I love the song "Fool for Love". I don't think that this movie is for everyone because there is definitely an elitist flavor to it so that poor people and working class people are probably not going to enjoy it as much as yuppie types. But on the other hand, people that shop online and read these reviews are probably exactly the kind of people who will enjoy this the most.

Rating: 5 stars
