Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Worth buying
Review: You can't go without laughing. Ben Stiller plays a male nurse Gaylord Focker.They insult him by using his last name through the whole movie.He gets into some pretty hilairious things after he meets the parents.He chases a cat onto a rooftop,gets in a fight with an airline stewardess.I won't give it all away.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Good show
Review: Some people taking movie-watching WAY too seriously. This is a funny show!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: If you've seen a Stiller movie, well, here it is again.
Review: Unfortunately this movie is like most every other Ben Stiller comedies. A slight plot, goofy characters, and a string of sight gags and impossible situations.

I expected more out of this movie, but I guess I shouldn't have. Robert DeNiro plays a good jerk, but that's the only highlight of the movie.

It's not the funniest movie ever, the funniest movie of the year, or even a very funny movie. Watch it for a handful of good gags, and that's about it.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: not even worth one star.
Review: justan absolutly dissapointing flick. Don't waste your time.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Very funny in theatres but not so funny at home
Review: I watched MTP twice in theatres in a week. I found it absolutely funny. Strangely when watch this on DVD, the experience is not the same. I guess watching it in crowded theatre with people laughing around you made the difference. The DVD is OK. Good picture quality. Both DTS and Dolby Digital are included but I can't tell the difference and this movie has no surround activities anyway so doesn't really matter which version you chose. Anyway if you saw this in theatre, try to rent this first to check whether you still like it. I don't like it that much watching at home.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Hilarious!
Review: I believe the term 'snowball effect' would be apt in describing the overall plot of Meet the Parents. Good-hearted Gaylord 'Greg' Focker has the biggest cloud of doom hanging over him on the weekend that he visits his girlfriend, Pam's, family--especially in the eyes of her hard-as-nails judgmental father. Greg wants to make the best impression possible, as he desperately wants to marry Pam. Time after time, Greg tries to get on Pam's father's good side, only to have each scheme blow up in his face--not to mention almost ruining a family wedding and destroying the house!

Ben Stiller again plays a loveable guy next door. He and Robert DeNiro (Pam's father) have terrific chemistry as old buck and young buck trying to keep Pam's affections. The DVD also has some great outtakes and deleted scenes. Great for a night when you want to do nothing but laugh.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Expected a LOT more!
Review: When I saw the commercials for this, I thought it was going to be great; really hysterical and something I'd want to watch over and over. WRONG! OK, it wasn't terrible, but I'm sorry I bought it instead of seeing it at the movies. Once is enough for this film. It's far from being as funny as so many claim it is, and while certain points are better than others, it's not good for holding interest for very long-especially with kids. To rent, maybe I'd recommend it, if I truly felt the person would enjoy it. But to actually purchase? NO!!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Ben Stiller Has A Heck of A Romantic Comedy Future
Review: If you had asked me what I thought the odds were that comics Stiller and Maera could have a son who would become a leading man in romantic comedies, I would have said, "Nil." Certainly one could never picture either parent in such a role. Nevertheless, their son Ben is amazingly good playing such roles and will probably carve out quite a niche for himself in Hollywood. That he can be absolutely adorable, engaging, funny and charming certainly helps. I've seen him play other types of roles but this is the one where he is commercially the hottest. In this film, he wants to marry Robert DeNiro's daughter but DeNiro is a retired CIA man who is the potential father-in-law from hell. DeNiro plays this role almost too well. I saw the movie with my friend Joyce and she said that after meeting DeNiro and the rest of the family, she would have found another girlfriend were she Ben Stiller! I think DeNiro does go a bit over the top in this film but he and Stiller manage to be quite funny despite that. I think this is an engaging movie and you will enjoy it as an evening's entertainment at home.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The funniest movie ever made!
Review: I really wanted to see this movie in the theaters. My friend told me to see it and I saw it and guess what I enjoyed every minute of it. My favorite part in the movie is where the cat urinates in the toilet it's so hilarious. Well anyways if you hadn't seen this movie go rent it! You will enjoy it. It's alot better than There's Something About Mary that movie sucks.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A very funny movie! De Niro is excellent!
Review: I know that some critics did not like this movie, but I found it quite enjoyable and funny. Ben Stiller is great as always, and Robert De Niro shines in another role which should do much to enhance his comedic reputation. Blythe Danner is superb as De Niro's wife, and Teri Polo proves that she is someone to watch in the future.

This movie is simply hilarious. Much of the cliches usually employed in this type of film are thankfully missing, and the interactions between De Niro and Stiller are great.

This DVD has excellent video and audio quality, and the extra features add much to the film. In addition to the obligatory director's commentary, there are also many deleted scenes and outtakes. Highly recommended!
