Summary: Uncomfortably funny...
Review: Here's a comedy for all of us who have ever been in an uncomfortable situation, especially around in-laws. Sure, the situations are exaggerated, but at heart this is how we've all felt when dealing with snotty people who we need to impress.Robert DeNiro gives a fantastic performance as the eccentric father-in-law to be, but this is Ben Stiller's movie from start to finish. His actions and reactions to his fiancee's Bizarro-World parents are painfully funny.

Summary: "Funny? Funny how? Funny like a clown?" No, not this film...
Review: Not only was this film not funny, I found it achingly sad to see an actor of DeNiro's caliber to be starring in a film which relied on so many physical comedy, bathroom humor, and unclever wordplay type devices (oh yeah, like Focker is SUCH a clever, funny name--whatever)...I thought I was watching a film by those idiots who made THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT MARY. The premise is believable for about ten seconds, then all this mumbo jumbo about DeNiro's character being linked with the CIA and mixing that with his odd attachment to his cat, a bizarre Oedipal thing for his mother's ashes and poor poetry interpretation skills, coupled with the horror of painfully watching Blythe Danner try to sleepwalk her way through her role was torturous. Add this to the simple fact Ben Stiller is NOT FUNNY, and I can't possibly give you a valid reason to watch this piece of trash which made tons of money at the box office. I feel angry I must grant it one star as I am not allowed to give it any less of a rating. Robert, please get in touch with Martin Scorsese and stay far away from garbage like this in the future...oh, too late, you're already signed on for the sequel...

Summary: Funniest Movie of All Time
Review: Quite simply one of the funniest movies ever made, it is also one of the smartest. Ben Stiller, Robert Deniro, and Teri Polo collborated on this caper movie with it's notorious name 'Greg Focker'. (Yeah, this kind of joke and most of the moive require a sense of humor that may be lacking in some of the reviewers of Meet the Parents.) Because the script's so witty, don't even blink your eyes, or you'll miss the full impact of Stiller's genius. -----------------------------------------------------------------

Summary: DeNiro and Stiller: it works!
Review: Robert DeNiro and Ben Stiller made quite a team in Meet the Parents. This comedy about a male nurse whose misguided attempts at impressing his girlfriend's father backfire (to say the least) is one of the funniest films I have seen in a while. Stiller, as usual, is a hoot, but I must say that I am impressed with DeNiro. He has proven that he is a great comic actor. I couldn't stop laughing! The dialogue is clever and the physical comedy is precise. I highly recommend it. You'll laugh your socks off!

Summary: Mediocre Meeting
Review: Meet The Parents - One of the blockbusters of 2000. This movie stars Ben Stiller as the main character who falls in love with a woman and then they will get married, but FIRST he needs to meet the womans parents. So many things happen there, and all of them really start to dislike each other. There are tons of Cliches, which can get annoying, but there are some funny parts, like when Ben Stiller is getting on the plane and he needs to be removed ( that's all I'll say.) The ending is pretty good, so overall, it can get stupid and boring, but it's worth a rent at your local movie store. Alex S.

Review: The casting of this movie couldn't have done better. Ben Stiller did his best role EVER in this flick. Its almost like he was destined to play Greg Focker. Forget Theres Something About Mary. This movie has class. I still cant stop laughing at some of the scenes in this movie. If you havent seen this movie, you should buy the DVD immediatly!

Summary: I almost turned it off...
Review: How many times do they expect us to laugh at DeNiro saying Focker? Who would accept such treatment from a potential father-in-law? What woman would let her father decide who she dates? I know this movie was supposed to be a comedy and not taken seriously, but I watched it with my entire family, and we didn't laugh once. DeNiro said Focker about 8 times too many. It's funny when you first learn what his name is, it's not so the next 7 times.

Summary: De Niro's Worst Movie
Review: Another Dream Work's dog... Meet the Parents is forced, boring, and just plain not funny. As a big fan of De Niro, I expected a certain level of entertainment, but this movie was rancid. The script was boring, background music grinding, and acting horrid. Could they have made the audience suffer more? Luckily it was only 100 minutes. An actor of De Niro's capability really should not associate his name with such projects....

Summary: Critics need to lighten up!!!
Review: This was an extremely funny movie! I laughed the hardest when DeNiro pressured Ben Stiller into saying "Grace" at the family dinner. Ben got all tongue tied and started reciting lyrics from a God inspired top 40 hit from the 70's. And when DeNiro read the poem about his dead mother, that one had me crying. This is definitely a DVD to buy!
