Summary: Something *NOT* about the Parents
Review: I saw this one and figured "Hey, Ben Stiller is funny, and it has De Niro in it, so how bad could it be?"The answer: Pretty bad. My wife and I both felt like this movie was a waste of the time we took to watch it. This movie tried to hit the same vein of humor as Something About Mary, but missed at almost every occasion. Nothing in this movie seemed to click. De Niro's character came across as both poorly written and poorly acted. We almost turned this movie off 5 or 6 different times, but finally ended up watching the whole thing just to see how it ended. So I guess I can say that it does it least have that going for it.

Summary: Shouldn't miss it for the world!!!!
Review: Greg(Stiller) a male nurse and Pam (De Niro's Daughter) are dating. Right in the middle of Greg's proposal, Pam receives a telephone call from her sister informing her, she is getting married. Greg and Pam immeadiately set out for Pam's home. Between losing your bag and getting spit on by a baby I would say the flight couldn't have been worse. Once arriving at the home Greg is forced to give up his most daily habits:Smoking and Sex. Greg and De Niro start off on the bad foot when De Niro chews Greg out about being a dog lover and not a cats person. Then just as things might be looking a little bit upward Stiller desecrates De Niros mother's urn. Many more problems arouse as Greg flushes a broken toilet, sets the yard on fire, ruins the honeymoon surprise, gives the bride-to-be a black eye, loses the cat and still never gets his bag back (until end). Meet the Parents is a must see comedy of the Millenium.

Summary: Something different...new and refreshing
Review: I decided to rent "Meet the Parents" from a recomendation from one of my freinds. And it turned out to be a very entertaing, freshing departure from the norm of most comedy's. Here's something i could sort of relate to...well not entirly. But i could sort of undertsand where this guy is coming from. Meets the parents of your love one for the first time, it could be quit tough, i mean trying to impress them, showing them that your willing to go out of their way for their daughter , that you really deserve her. And while trying to do such a thing can be quit troublesome, ..Trust me, i know...boy do I know. And alot what you try to get across comes out the wrong way, not the way you intended. It's either how you come across to the folks, how you talk, how smart you are, your likes, your dislikes, how willing you are, coming up with one single converstation that won't fall flat in the last 2 minutes. And as much as you try, you could never get where you want to go. This could be just as depressing when it comes to acutally talking and trying to impress a girl in general, a girl that seems to like you, but in a way doesn't. Your confused , you don't know what to think, your verbal comunication with her,...can be alot better than it is. The trouble is that you don't know how to fully open up around her. Sure your a nut-ball when it comes being around your best buds. But when your around her, everything is different. Theres a simple joy of seeing her happy, seeing that cute smile of hers'. You try and you try, and from day to day it seems less sucessful, you look back at the days when your did thought were impresing her, and say to yourself."Maybe I should just give up.." Then your realize it wasn't their doing,..but yours. It's your disadvantage of being who you are. Your shy, your not very good at making conversation, and you then blame it all on yourself. And when that happens depression kicks into full gear. You find yourself doing things that you wouldn't normally do, walking the town for no reason, just collecting your thoughts, as you sip a cold beer. Life can be cruel, but you know what, you are your own worst enemy. Time goes on, and after a while and you don't know what to think. All of this is what this movie represents, while I was watching this, I really felt bad for the guy, but it made me think on how pointless and unmeaningful my life really is. Here is a guy who in the end really suceeded, who acutally made it to FIRST base. This is one of the main reasons what made this movie so charming. And in the end I really felt for them , and i was really happy for the couple. Becasue I was seeing something that will never happen to me, something I yern for. Something that I wish for, with this girl that i really love. There's all these conflicting images, and symbols, one of them being the ex-boyfreind, the competion, the struggle. In my case the boyfriend that has her, and doesn't seem to let her go. But in the end the ex-boyfreind winds up being greatful, forgiving, happy for his new rival. That he is lucky enough to have such a great girl, I tend to feel the same way at times, I think , well as long as she is happy, i'll be happy. And you want to tell her boyfreind that he is the luckyiest SOB on the planet, and he is. This movie is both touching, and flat-out Hilarious. This film is just as much a comedy as it is a Love Satire, and it's a winner in both areas. The peformances are wonderful, Robert De Niro never fails to impress me, one of the greatest dramatic actors who ever lived, and what a shame it would be, when he finnally leaves us, something I would never hope for. And Ben Stillar is just fine as the new forth-coming son-in-law, who brings and air of forgiveness and warmth to it all. All n' all a great, meaningful comedy thats a true winner and , Which i more than recommend. Cheers,Ash'. Rating: 4 out of 5 Grade: B+ 91%

Summary: Don't Bother
Review: I didn't laugh once. There isn't a sympathetic character in the film, with the possible exception of Blythe Danner's. The actors deserved a better script, a better director, or agent's who knew when to say "no". Don't bother renting it, buying it, or wasting your time seeing someone else's copy.

Summary: The funniest comedy I've seen in a long while
Review: I loved this movie. Everyone I know loves this movie. Since buying it I have watched it over 6 times, I catch lines that I didn't catch before and this makes the movie even funnier. If you do not like high budget blockbuster movies with actors that suck, this is a must dvd for your collection.

Summary: Stupidity meets Dumb and Dumber
Review: I like DeNiro very much, but not in this movie. The flick is so dumb that I couldn't watch it to the end. I don't think it's funny when someone steps into every imaginable an unimaginable trap on the way to get the father's yes. It was too much - rather too little - for me to handle that movie.

Summary: Irritating and only occasionally funny
Review: I was very dissapointed with this movie. I found that Ben Stiller was very annoying as well as all of the other characters. Most of the time we sat there with a flat face and just kept looking at each other wondering how this movie got recommended to us. I enjoyed Deuce Bigalow and other 'dumb' movies. This movie was simply not funny and actually irritating most of the time. I'm Selling my copy to EBAY that's how much I don't like this movie as it has no rewatchability. I am very easy to please and RARELY sell any of my DVDs on EBAY because I like to collect DVD's, but this movie has no merits.

Summary: So-So movie
Review: After all the hoopla over this movie, I bought it on DVD. I should have rented it instead. Sure, there are some chuckles but it certainly wasn't gut-busting funny. At points, I was bored with it. So if you haven't seen this movie, before you buy it, rent it.

Summary: Booooring
Review: Very few funny scenes. I was pretty much bored with it totally. The scenes that were funny were pretty hilarious, but they were few and far between. Something about Ben Stiller movies, they are all like that.
