Rating: Summary: One of the best comedies of 2000 Review: In another excellent role from Robert DeNiro, "Meet the Parents" is one of the best comedies of 2000. In yet another hilarious role, Ben Stiller (as "Greg Focker") plays a male nurse who spends the weekend with his future in-laws and causes havoc when he tries to please his girlfriend's father-in-law (DeNiro), who is more than who he appears to be. Directed by Jay Roach, who directed the Austin Powers movies, "Meet the Parents" guarantees some great laughs as Stiller tries his hardest to gain the approval of DeNiro, who just wants the best for his daughter. The jokes and gags are quite better than the Farelly brothers' gross-out toilet humor, mostly because of DeNiro's great performance, which rivals his other recent comedic role in "Analyze This", which I also recommend if you want to see the other side of DeNiro. The only reason I gave this movie 4 instead of 5 stars is because Stiller makes so many mistakes in trying to impress DeNiro that it almost seems unreal. But otherwise, a solid buy with a good mix of romance and comedy!
Rating: Summary: Funny , Very Very Funny Review: Meet The Parents contains the sort of humour that we have seen before in films like Something About Mary, but Meet The Parents still manages to retain some originality. Ben Stiller plays his part well as the bumbeling boyfriend who cant do anyhting right. Robert De Niro is excellent as the father in law, so from the cast line up you can see that its going to worth a watch. There are some very funny scenes in the film that im going to tell you about because if you havent seen the film then you will find them hilarious. (if you have seen the film then you will know what i mean) The film is good from start to finish so i would recommend that you at least hire this film out to watch over the weekend one time.
Rating: Summary: Great Comedy! Review: Ben Stiller is pitifully hillarious and Robert De Niro is cringingly, brilliantly funny. I cannot remember the last time I laughed so hard in a movie theater. I am not a big collector of videos, but I can't wait to own this one.
Rating: Summary: A must see. Review: This movie is absolutely funny. The seen with the cat in the dining room is hilarious. The movie is worth getting so you can watch it more than once.
Rating: Summary: First half of the movie was good..... Review: This movie started out pretty funny, but just ran out of jokes. Most of the jokes used were not very original anyway, and were stolen from There's Something About Mary. It seems the minute Ben Stiler started smoking on the roof of the house, the movie went really downhill, everything that happened from then was not very funny and just got very stupid. A big problem too was that the trailers to this movie gave away some of the best jokes. Don't rent or buy this movie, wait until it gets on HBO/Showtime then watch it.
Rating: Summary: Simply Hilarious! Review: This is definitley the funniest film of the year 2000. From beginning to end, this flick will make you laugh to your heart's desire. My cousin calls Ben Stiller a "poor man's Jim Carrey" with his comedic performance in movies like "There's Something about Mary" and of course "Meet the Parents". I'm surprised no one thought of this storyline before. Trust me folks, this one is a keeper.
Rating: Summary: Very funny movie!! Loaded DVD!! Review: Meet the parents was hilarious. Robert De Niro is perfect in the role of the "Over dwelling father". The interactions between De Niro and Ben Stiller are wonderfully scripted. Throw in some politically incorrect themes and you have a very funny movie. This movie is a perfect example of any guy's nightmare of meeting his girlfriend's parents. This movie represents the "worst case scenerio" when it comes to meeting your future bride's parents. This DVD is loaded. It has several out-takes and deleted scenes along with a commentary by Robert De Niro. Throw in a few more extra features and picture perfect quality and you have one great DVD.
Rating: Summary: A must see comedy! Review: Meet the Parents is one of the best comedies of all time. Ben Stiller is an average guy with an above average name (Gaylord Focker). Robert DeNiro is an ex-CIA officier who happens to be the father of the woman Gay Focker wants to marry. Ben and his girlfriend go to her house for a weekend so he can "Meet the Parents." Imagine everything that could possibly go wrong in that kind of situation, and multiply it by 100. That is what Ben Stiller goes through! His last name is the punchline of many jokes throughout the movie. I almost had a heart attack I was laughing so hard when Stiller was racing home against DeNiro in order to get rid of the evidence, which was a stray cat that he painted in order to hide the fact he lost their real cat. In the middle of the race, Stiller gives the "I'll be watching you" sign to DeNiro. Stiller almost gets in a fight with an airplane attendant, and a cat goes to the bathroom in the remains of Robert DeNiro's mother. These events may sound strange the way I"m describing them, but when everthing goes together, you won't be able to stop laughing!!
Rating: Summary: "There's Something About Mary" without Mary and jokes. Review: Let's see: good actors, nice genre, interesting plot and no fun at all. The jokes on the movie are based on humiliating Greg, but they're not disgusting enough to make fun, they just make you feel unconfortable. I've expected a lot of this film what made it looks a even bigger waste of time.
Rating: Summary: gut buster Review: This movie is hillarious from the get go!! When you thought is couldn't get any more screwd up for Ben it gets worse. This movie by far is the most hillarious of 2000!! If you haven't seen this movie you have got to buy it. Even if its the only movie you buy this year!!
