Rating: 4 stars
Summary: What's with the low ratings?
Review: A very funny movie that is extremely fun to watch. Definitely not meant to be taken seriously but it still pulls off a genuine ending for us. Watch this movie with friends! guaranteed to make you laugh.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Really - 3 1/2 stars! Amusing...
Review: Ben Stiller romps as another hapless character in love. He is so loveable, it's hard for the audience to relate to how everyone in Pam's family dislikes him. (A kind of reverse "What About Bob?"). Definitely some good laughs and moments - I especially loved the cork & the funeral urn - but overall I wouldn't buy the DVD. Robert DeNiro is just OK (although the fawning that he does over his cat is very funny and reminiscent of how many parents act when their nest becomes almost empty!). Blythe Danner is at her ditzy best, and both Teri Polo and Owen Wilson play their parts well. Randy Newman's music is in touch with the film, but the DVD special features are not anything special. Rent it for a couple of pleasant hours!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Pretty funny movie.
Review: This is the story of Greg Focker(Ben Stiller) who (as the title suggests) meets his girlfriend's parents(Robert Deniro plays her father;he's an ex-CIA agent). Instead of focusing on outright comedy, it tries a mors subtle approach. It creates awkward situations and makes you feel for our unfortunate hero. Ben Stiller is great, but Robert DeNiro steals the show.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Yikes, just yikes...
Review: I rented this movie because I wanted to see what all the fuss was about considering it was one of the higher grossing movies when it came out. I didn't interest me then, but I thought why not. Boy was I wrong to even spend the money to rent this movie. I like Jay Roach; the stuff he's done with Austin Powers is great, but this is just plain horrible. The movie drags on and on and once you thing this young man is in the clear, here comes some more stuff to mess with him. It just gets tiring. And I'm sorry but DeNiro should stick to dramatic roles. He's not funny; in this or Analyze This. Ben Stiller has talent and it was sad to see him wasted in this predictable movie. Boy I can't wait for the second one, and yes they are making one. Thanks Hollywood for taking this bad idea and running it into the ground. THAT'S IT I'M DONE!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A Laugh A Minute Comedy!
Review: I went to see Meet The Parents in theatres, and let me tell you what, I wasnt disappointed. You will laugh until your stomach hurts!

Male Nurse Greg Focker (Played By Ben Stiller) is desperately in love with Pam Byrnes (Teri Polo), and is about to propose, but overhears that he must gain the approval from her dad, Jack Byrnes (Played By Robert DeNiro) first. And one thing leads to another, as Greg shamelessly goes to any length to gain her fathers approval. As one incident after another occurs.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Really disappointing...
Review: Considering the cast, producers, writers, etc.

I almost turned it off after the first 20 minutes. You just keep waiting for it to build up to something that it never quite becomes. There are some funny scenes, but the plot is terribly weak. It's a lot of funny gags all stitched together, but it lacks a certain substance.

It's not bad - but it's just not that great. Kind of a solid three stars. Yawn.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Best Movie of the Century!!!
Review: Acting, plot, and script were absolutely superb. Better than Basic Instinct or Saving Private Ryan. Should have won dozens of Oscars. A must own for everyone.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Unrealistic and so predictable
Review: Have to disagree with those who have raved about robert de niro or given the movie a better rating because he's in it. His performance is wooden, his character detestable, which he does all too well; he's not an actor, he just plays himself, and he certainly can't rescue this dud. When you watch the outtakes (which are so boring) and then watch the movie again, you can see under the surface that they are just trying to contain their laughter. This painful 2 hours doesn't even come close to 'something about mary', despite ben stiller's efforts.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great plot, good movie, not that good execution.
Review: The plot was great, leaving us a good movie, but I think that it would have been better if they had made this movie a bit more realistic, focus more on a real relationship, it seemed more like a comedy that was romantic rather than a romantic comedy which was what I expected, the romance being the main focus with the comedy to make people laugh, but the comedy was on top of the romance. But anyways, it's still a good movie, will make you laugh, but in my opinion it doesn't deserves to by in my shelf with my other DVDs.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Not That Funny
Review: This movie should have been better than it was. The "big" scenes could have been alot better.
