Meet the Parents

If my son came home and told me that he went to meet his future in-laws and one of them turned out to be Robert De Niro slumming it well below his pay-grade, I'd tell him to reconsider his betrothal because it ain't likely that the father of the bride is going to be paying for the reception.

This is a big one from both De Niro and Stiller! De Niro, especially, knows how to blend well in a comedy: he's been parodied numerous times, but to see him in an actual comedy works even better. The rest of the cast makes it all the more engrossing. This will certainly bring big laughs and even bigger hearts.

I'm just glad my parents aren't that bad :)

Awesome movie

I don't think it lived up to the hype, but enjoyable nontheless.

great movie!

Yes. I like the first one better.

I am one of those who is rather late getting around to watching this show. It is very funny and was worth the wait.

It features Ben Stiller as Gaylord 'Greg' Fokker and Teri Polo as his fiancee, Pam Byrnes. Although they have been together for awhile, he has not met his future in laws. This movie centers around their trip to do just that.

Robert DeNiro stars as father-in-law to be Jack Byrnes and Blythe Danner is Dina, his wife. Byrnes is a formidable character and a nightmare for any potential son-in-law. He thinks no one is good enough for his baby and Fokker is certainly no exception. The dynamics between these two are priceless. DeNiro really steals the show.

This is full of laughs from start to finish. It is a good time.

pretty funny the segual is good too

mildly cute

yeah!!! that's more like it

The original was definitely the best ~ should've just left it.

Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson are really good in this movie. Its funny and Robert DeNiro plays a great overbearing father.

Meet the Parents starring Robert De Niro and Ben Stiller is not that funny or original. Blythe Danner is pretty good in this but Teri Polo is one horrible actress, she's so lame and wooden. I have never been a Stiller fan but his chemistry with De Niro makes this movie not so dreadful. I don't why but I saw the sequel to this film a few years ago I enjoyed that one more than this. The jokes are somewhat crude but if you like those kind of comdies than this film is for you.

One of my favorite movies! So funny! Ben Stiller is always great for a laugh!

I enjoy this film & it's follow up "Meet the Fockers". Certainly NOT the best film ever made-far from it. Enjoyable. I am NOT a fan of Ben Stiller's. This is 1 of the 4 films I like where he is in a starring role. The other 2 "Night at the Museum" & "There's Something About Mary" HE BASICALLY PLAYED THE SAME ROLE IN ALL 3 FILMS. A nobody reacting to things going on around him & overreacting.

I actually like the follow up film more than the original. Another negative of the original: Owen Wilson Only got to see him briefly in the 2cd film.

Randy Newman's same old music-we've heard in films over the years & they all sound the same.

Good NOT GREAT extras on the DVD package.

Hard to feel for Stiller's character in either film when his character lies all the time.

The speeding to get back to Jack's (DeNiro's) house because of the Jinx? the cat lost bit. WHERE WAS THE NEEDED REACTION FROM THE OTHER CHARACTERS ABOUT GREG SPEEDING & BEING UNSAFE?

crap

graet movie but it is getting kind of old..

makes awkward things seem funny

good

Ok

hilarious! lol

AHAHALoved this one when it came out...

yes yes..

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...

Funny

hilarious

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

LOVED

funny

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.
