Come, on movie raters - 6.6? That's the average? This movie is undeniably funny, and even kid of sweet in parts. Hilarious 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!

It was a good comedy and family movie.

This movie was terrible. Anyone who thinks the definition of comedy is to have the one likeable and the only fleshed out character of the film to be bullied for two straight hours by one dimensional dickheads, should not have any creative control over a movie. It was a terrible watch. After seeing one character whom the movie depicts as totally normal and perfect for a girl get undeservedly trashed for a whole film, youd expect some kind of retribution which the film doesnt even attempt to offer. Oh yeah, and the girl for whom he suffers all this humiliation for is depicted as selfish, absent, cold, uncaring and vacuous. A movie which shouldnt have been made. With the cutting edge comedians now working TV, this kind of comedy was done to death 60 years ago. And much better ...

I really loved this movie. So much better than meet the fockers.
JJ gave it a2:
For 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.
T.O. gave it a1:
It 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.
Sam gave it a9:
A very funny movie. From cat piss on the ashes to robert de niro asking ben stiller if he could milk him cause he had nipples (don't ask) this movie has new ways to entertain. In my opinion, not the best film in the entire world unlike T, and not as unique as other in-law films, but then again it's both an in-law film and it isn't, but in its own unique way it is, so a great film and the parents should watch this one before meeting your daughters 32 (give or take a few) year old boyfriend. You;ll find out ways to make sure he isn't interested in her breasts nothing more, making this a bit of a documentary.
