Rating: Summary: It's only fair! Review: The movie is funny until the scene of swimming pool. After the dinner scene, the director has arranged several serious accidents to keep it going. But, where is the climax? The timing is very poor. The second half of the movie is out of control. After Stiller has been misunderstood by so many cases, it seems that the last scene in the airport cannot resolve all of them. Another thing is if Terri Polo really loves Stiller, why she sent a spy to check him? What is the character of this girl? It seems that the director is forced to put some illogical behavior in her in order to end the story. This movie is only worth to see if you are fans of Robert De Niro or Ben Stiller.
Rating: Summary: Funny! Review: This movie was very funny and entertaining. Sure, some of the jokes got sorta old (like Greg's last name), but it was extremely enjoyable and I was shocked to see how many people gave it poor ratings since EVERYONE I've ever spoken too about the movie loved it, hands down! The movie is worth seeing - a must, esp those who just want to see a good comedy and not get all picky w/directing and all that junk. (Stiller's and De Niro characters put together is perfect for comedy) Also, how can anyone say the end of the movie was confusing? or lame? The end was hillarious and made sense.
Rating: Summary: If you want to laugh, this is the movie for it. Review: I prefer to read over watching movies but I'm glad I picked this movie to watch. It's hysterical! A role we don't often see Robert DeNiro play. He is the father who is keeping a close eye on his daughters new boyfriend (played by ben stiller). The events that occur when they go to visit the parents house for the weekend, are absolutely hysterical and had me rolling over with laughter. Ben is an excellent comedian as were his cast mates. The movie never had a slow moment the whole way through with one laugh after another. Ben's character is doing his best to butter up his girlfriends father because he wants to ask him for his daughters hand in marriage but Ben, in his usual style, keeps messing things up. He is a natural comedian and just his facial movements and expressions are enough to make you cry alone! The best part is when he knocks the fathers, dearly departed mothers ashes down from the shelf. Then the cat does her business in them. I must have seen this movie over 25 times already and fully recommend this movie, especially if you're a Robert DeNiro fan who rarely does comedy but he made an exception this time and what a great job he did.
Rating: Summary: Great, enjoyable movie! Review: I personally thought this was a great movie! It was funny, light-hearted, and cute. Robert Deniro and Ben Stiller were perfect for your parts. Anyway, this is one of those movies anyone can enjoy... so sit back and just enjoy its comical story :)
Rating: Summary: Great movie Review: Meet the parents is a hilarious movie, but I'd recommend this for people who are at least above the age of 10. This is a funny movie with Ben Stiller's hilarious antics complimenting Robert Deniro's equally funny gruff seriousness. The two leading actors are a dynamic pair and this movie is worth the buy with an intriguing storyline.
Rating: Summary: Hilarious! Review: This movie is full of "laugh-out-loud" humor. There was hardly a scene where I didn't find myself practically falling off the couch, doubled over in laughter. Ben Stiller is the classic nervous-wreck fiancé, and Robert DeNiro delivers a stellar performance as the overprotective, former CIA member father. There are tons of memorable scenes in this film; the Puff the Magic Dragon bit between Stiller and DeNiro is hilaroius, as is the poem DeNiro's character wrote for his mother. If you must see only one comedy ever again in your life, this is it!
Rating: Summary: terrible Review: The sophomorically dumb name joke is beaten into the ground; all the "comedy" scenes are completely predictable five minutes in advance; Stiller's character is completely unlikable; the ending makes no sense given what happened in the first hour and a half of the movie.In sum, this is the stupidest movie I have seen in years. Avoid this at all costs. Beyond that, the DVD extras are nothing special.
Rating: Summary: What is wrong with you people???? Review: This is probably the best comedy of last year, There are more than enough laugh out loud moments to satisfy any normal person. The sequence with DeNiro's mothers ashes alone makes the film worth watching. The person who says DeNiro can't do comedy must be a comedian himself, his timing is spot on as always.
Rating: Summary: another disappointing comedy Review: I had heard and read about how funny this movie was - I know many who saw it more than once. I found it contrived - lacking cleverness, wit or subtlety. I found myself getting more and more annoyed and frustrated as the story unfolded. There were a few humorous scenes, but not enough to save it for me. The last scene was a culmination of the tacky and awkward humor throughout the film, as he was letting out his frustrations into the hidden camera. I love physical or silly comedy, as long as somehow we are given the idea that there is intelligence behind it. I was relieved to read the other less than positive reviews, because I felt alone in not being impressed by this film.
Rating: Summary: Laughing Gas Review: College students will love this movie. This movie made me laugh every minute. If you are not to picky and just want to see a funny movie this movie is for you.
