Oct 4, 20117"Meet the Parents" is a appropriately lengthened family movie with decent acting. It's a very obvious comedy-family formula Hollywood loves to use, but surprisingly this movie's one of its kind.

BenBJan 16, 20079Come, on movie raters - 6.6? That's the average? This movie is undeniably funny, and even kid of sweet in parts. HIlaroious entertainment and great family fare - so who are these knuckleheads that keep giving it 0s or 1s? Come on, guys, this movie is a scream!

PaulaW.Jan 1, 20025Ben Stiller is a highly unlikely everyloser: a Jewish schoolteacher from the projects of Detroit? Naah, I don't think so. Robert De Niro as a curmudgeonly retired spymaster is also a stretch. The most impressive things in this movie are the blue living room decor and Teri Polo's bionically flawless skin. Not painful to watch, good for a few chuckles, just totally forgettable.

MattS.Jan 7, 200510Very good movie.

MichaelC.Feb 14, 20018Stiller proves once again that he is one of the most useful comedic actors around today, and this is DeNiro's best in God knows how long. Hilarious. Chances are, in about 20 years, we could look at Meet the Parents as a classic.

DaveS.Feb 20, 20013I like Ben Stiller, and who doesn't love Robert Di Nero? But this one just didn't make me laugh. And I don't consider myself to be a tough laugh.

TonyG.Mar 3, 200110This IS a very funny movie. Normally, I wouldn't give a rat's ass what another user gives a movie but to give this a zero is ridiculous. "She-Devil" is a zero. This, my friend, is no "She-Devil"...

JasonD.Mar 9, 20013Disappointingly unfunny.

GregF.Apr 1, 20011It made me laugh. It made me cry. The feel good movie of the year. NOT! This movie is a waste of time. "Something about Mary" was funny. This movie is NOT funny.

BobR.Sep 7, 20012Flat and unfunny, this "high concept" comedy did not have one believable scene or character.

MalloryD.Aug 1, 200210I loved this movie! Even the 3rd and 4th time it was still making me laugh! I think that it is gay that someone gave it a 0 they dont know what a good comedy is.

TJun 30, 200410The best movie in the entire world in my opinion!

T.O.May 18, 20051It was like watching a bad sitcom. Shallow, not clever, characters that only worked because it showed the famous actors as bizzare personalities. I viewed it more as a documentary on the life and times of current liberal Hollywood stars. A reality show based on true life stories of screwed up personalities / life stories of the rich and famous Hollywood scene.

RyanM.Nov 4, 200110Unexpectedly hysterical.
-

DerekL.Mar 2, 20010I smiled when Ben Stiller said his name was Gay Phoquer. That was the only time I smiled. This has got to be the worst all time movies. Something to tell the kids about (yes daddy did sit all the way through it - he paid his money and he was going to watch the Phoquer).
-
-
NikkiJul 14, 200110I wasn't expecting much at first...but after I saw it I found that this movie is amazing ! It is so funny... I couldn't help but laugh everytime they say"Focker". Now it is my favorite movie!!

DanG.Jul 15, 200110I've never laughed so hard.

AdamE.Nov 20, 20028A very funny film which shows that DeNero can be hilarious and Stiller's genius. Having seen it 3 times I know what I'm talking about!

-
PatC.Jan 5, 20046A good way to pass the time, but nothing to build one's life around.

RudyM.Feb 6, 20049I loved that movie.

JJMay 23, 20052For a movie with such great actors, this was really dumb. Best part was when the cat flushed the dog down the toilet. VERY disappointed, as Meet the Parents was great.

ShelleyN.Jul 20, 20068It was a good comedy and family movie.

AllanJun 29, 20022Not at all funny or interesting. How this movie got so highly rated is a total mystery.
-
-
JohnA.Sep 11, 200210The more you see this movie, the better it is. DeNiro and Stiller come together to create perfectly funny moments, such as, the awkward silence.
-
-
KevinW.Jun 23, 200310This movie is the best I have ever seen! I wish I could give it a 10000000000.

ElliottWNov 29, 20089Ignore all those snobby critics! This film made me laugh, and thats the whole point of watching a comedy.

MattU.Dec 24, 20028I rented this movie to watch with my mom on a sunday visit. she's 67 and a conservative ivy league graduate. she almost peed herself she was laughing so hard. any comedy that do that gets my vote as the fumnniest movie ever.

Nov 30, 20107Very overrated movie, but that's not to say it's bad in the least. It made me laugh here and there, and gave me chuckles for most of the movie. I usually don't laugh at these movies because I feel pretty bad for the character, which is why I think it's important to make the character a bit unsympathetic, that way feelings don't get in the way of comedy.
-
Nov 26, 20118A rather good comedy, Can be a little boring at times but it was enjoyable. De Nero played his role perfectly and the chemistry he had with stiller shows on screen. Well worth watching.
-
Nov 18, 201110This is one of Ben Stiller's best movies. It remains consistently funny throughout and there are great performances from all of the actors. It is a lot of fun when everything goes wrong.
-
Apr 1, 20129First off, I would give this a 9.25 out of 10. It's really funny. Acting is good. Score all right, and a good story. All thought the rest of series have been not great, , this one was really great. Overall, this is a great comedy. If you like a great comedy, then this is for you.

80De Niro's performance works because it isn't exactly likable -- he's totally at ease with his own jokes, but he's not out to make us feel relaxed.

90A flat-out hilarious mainstream comedy.
