makes awkward things seem funny

hilarious! lol

AHAHALoved this one when it came out...

great movie

Annoying but ok movie.

Your name is Gaylord Focker!!!!?? LMAO

Meet the Fockers was better, but it all started here

I prefer meet the fockers but I like this one too.

This was very funny.

lotsa of humor, but "sensical" as well according to the plot line

Awesome!!! De Niro didn't let down... Stiller - amazing!

I love Ben Stiller and seeing him act next to De Niro is awesome

meet the parents and meet the fockers two really funny movies

pretty fucking funny

good, but not as good as meet the fockers

Oh god...Ben Stillers Acting makes me sick...and his jokes are stupid.
This doesn't belong in the comdedy section! It should be in the horror.
The movie could have been somethng, but no...it comes out as this...

I always feel bad for the roles Ben Stiller has to play. :}

This movie was ok but the sequel was better. Had more laughs.

nah it stunk

super funny

I shouldn't like this, but I do. I liked the lie detector scene.

love this movie

love Ben Stiller

I own both "Meet the Parents" and "Meet the Fockers" and I love them both! As "Meet the Parents" began, I found myself thinking that this would be the ideal way to meet a girl's parents. It didn't take long before everything unravelled and hilarity ensued. The trouble Ben Stiller got into was simply hilarious, Robert DeNiro played a scary dad, and Teri Polo was just great.

A really funny movie!!! It is one of my favorites!

i love this movie so much that when i say asshole, i say it like the little baby did.

I like it but I wouldn't rank it as one of my top 10 funniest movies list.

Ben Stiller is natural.

Had some funny moments, but also tended to get crass.

Very funny, but a few too many of the typical uncomfortable Ben Stiller moments that make me want to cringe.

De Niro is really good in this as is Ben Stiller but the rest of the cast is not up to the task. The movie is funny in parts, which is unusal for a Stiller film, but it drags and it is some what pedictable. Its on cable all the time and worth a watch.

Moronic. Some funny moments, but got very tedious.

I thought Meet The Fockers was funnier, but I liked Meet The Parents a little more. A classic movie.

A rare gem in a decade of pretty lousy comedies.

your f**kin stupid if u dont like this film.

Yes its funny , because of the amazing cast in there .. but however i still prefer meet the fockers which is way funnier..

Any movie with Ben Stiller as the lead is in dire trouble. He plays the same tired charactor in everything he does. No variation. I LOATHE Ben Stiller.

This movie is very funny, I'm looking forward to seeing Meet the Fockers. I did think that this movie had some parts that were getting to the there is no way this would ever happen so for me it wasn't as funny as it could have been, if things could have been more realistic. But that didn't stop me or anyone else to sitting back and enjoying this true comedy of Robert De Niro and Ben Stiller.

f**king idiotic.

It's good the first time, but loses a little with repeat viewing. It's a different kind of role for Deniro, and he plays it very well. Ben Stiller is one of those guys that kind of annoys me, but still manages to put out movies I kind of like.

Liked it a lot. Very funny. The sequel is even funnier.

I'm the black sheep here - I didn't think the movie was funny. No real man would have ever put up with that kind of crap. . .(okay, the sex-toys in the suitcase thing was kind of funny)

The original and the sequel are about tied on the Laugh-O-Meter and that would be above average. I found the DeNiro character(and his damn cat Mr. Jinx) was just too damn mean and felt that Gaylord Focker has to be the most suffering Hebrew since Job.

Another one of my all-time favorites! Ben Stiller is a comic genius. Teamed up w/ De Niro was too much.

I especially like the part with the cat on the toilet...

this is the movie that made me become a ben stiller fan id seen things with him in before but this what won me over. deniro is versatile.

the first time i viewed this film i thought it was funny. but i recently saw it again and found the Stiller/DeNiro teaming to be a bit on the ingratiating side, which caused me to pass on the second film.

It was a decent movie, but they revealed too many of the funny moments in the previews.

A very hilarious movie. Ben Stiller to do other types of movies though.

I may be wrong but to me it wasnt as great as it was made out to be. There were some hilarious parts. I love Ben Stiller and Robert De Niro so....

HILLARIOUS LOL FUNNY!

If you can find a funnier movie, I will kiss your ass!! Does not get any better than this one.

I was very disappointed in Meet The Parents (released in 2000 and directed by Jay Roach). Ben Stiller plays male nurse Greg Focker who is off to visit his girlfriend Pam's parents for the first time. Every guy's worst nightmare comes to fruition as Pam's dad Jack Byrnes (Robert De Niro) obviously does not like Focker, a situation only exacerbated by one disaster after another (eg a lost cat, flooded toilet, and a fire). Stiller comes in with his usual flare and De Niro is exceptional, but something does not really click, whether it is chemistry or the script. Moreover, some of the gags and disasters are played out far too long (eg the cat). One often-overlooked highlight is Owen Wilson as Pam's perfect ex-boyfriend. The bottom line is that Meet The Parents should have been better and must suffer in the rating when compared to the better films on this list.

This is great! I watch this all the time and never get tired of it. This would be a good movie to watch on thanksgiving.

You know, I would probably give this one five stars, just on the chemistry between DeNiro and Stiller alone, but there are so many scenes where I feel so uncomfortable because of the embarassment of Stiller's character. I loved this movie.

My favorite comedy. Almost non-stop laughs, and a nice mixture of sophisticated humor and slapstick. Hope the sequel lives up to the original.

My family & I loved this movie we are excited about seeing meet the faukers we can hardly wait hope to see it real soon

it was funny of course it had BEN STILLARD in it. yeah I liked it. virile vagablood I am pretty sure who ever is in here has seen the movie so you dont have to type the whole back cover ok thanks.(and the cats name is jinxie)

It was a good movie. Alot of funny moments. DeNiro loving cats was a different side of him than what we usually see. But the Gaylord Focker was one of some tasteless jokes.

Just about the funniest movie I had seen in a long time. One of the rare movies that I can watch over & over.

Ugh. I'm kinda tired of seeing Ben Stiller play the clumsy underdog who puts up with a lot of crap, this time from the future in-laws. It had its moments, but it wasn't enough.

This film is HILARIOUS!

This is by far one of my favorite movies of all time. Robert Deniro and Ben Stiller were awesome together in this movie and it was also one of the funniest moveies i have ever seen. I would definately recommend this movie to anyone who has never seen it.

Never before, and never again will a short comedian and Robert Deniro have such a comedic chemistry. (Unless you count Billy Crystal in Analyze This, or Analyze That, or Analyze The Other Thing [not yet in production].)

I have nipples. can you milk me? Ben stiller and Robert DeNiro are fantabulous in this movie. It was great to see Robert take a break from the tough guy roles and do something as funny as this movie was. I'm just hoping that Meet The Fockers will be as good!

THIS IS ONE OF THE FUNNIEST MOVIES EVER!! IT BRINGS FAMILIES TOGETHER LAUGHING & HAVING A GREAT TIME!!!!!!

funniest movie of the year 2000

We thought this was a funny movie. Not the greatest movie I ever saw., but it did have great scenes.Robert DeNiro is terrific as the dad who intimidates, Ben Stillers character.I liked the scene at dinner time and the conversation that took place, the dad making the boyfriend take a lie detector test.A lot of good scenes. Ben stiller plays the boyfriend who is trying to get enough nerve to ask his girlfriends dad if he can marry her.Robert DeNiro is so good at playing the kind of character that can scare the H***out of someone. Not a perfect movie,but an enjoyable one.

Alot of People don't really care for this one. I think it was put together very well and Robert Deniro isn't a half bad comedy actor, he is such a good actor and very serious is what makes him actually funny in these comedies he does. Ben Stiller is really good in this one, he plays it off pretty well, and his girlfriend in this flick is freaking hot, and you gotta love Owen Wilsons Nose.....Great Movie.

A few good moments, but generally no better than average.
