Craig H Haven't seen this for about 15 years and i can relate to this film so much more as an adult with its painfully awkward family moments and having to act a certain way around families and it be really cringe at times. Ben Stiller plays the hapless boyfriend who cant do no right perfectly, i miss Stiller on the big screen, also De Niro is great. They dont make harmless comedies like this anymore. It's the like the final destination of comedies with the scenarios that happen, Some really funny moments unfold and its laugh out loud at times.

I came to raise the rating of Meet the Parents because it's a modern classic comedy. In NO WAY, does this movie deserve a solid B. What is wrong with you guys? Does it have to have cussing and drugs to be at 90% or higher? Anyways, doing my part for those that failed.

Greg is such a relatable character Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/11/24 Full Review Blu B A Classic Comedy. Never seen the original National Lampoon one but I can't imagine it being as good as this one. It's solidly made all around. The plot is clever, and does a great job balancing laughs with heartfelt moments as well. It can be dumb and over the top at certain points but the biggest asset this has is it's suprisingly very funny! It doesn't move at blitzkrieg like speed with jokes like Airplane! but can actually go a bit slow and takes it's time setting up the jokes and funny plot points down the line for a lot of running gags. It relies a lot at first on just doing very awkward moments right after a line that actually really work and get chuckles every time. Than it turns into all out chaos in th second half with a great ending to boot. The setting isn't that memorable and a good chunk of the jokes aren't visually based but just good comedic delivery especially by DeNiro who is really good in this. Some of the jokes again are gross out humor and over the top dumb but it sets it up in very clever ways and isn't obnoxious with it. It suprised me how good this was! Anyone who is a fan of any actors in this, the director, RomComs or straight comedies will like this a lot. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 09/24/24 Full Review Jace E I am a big sucker for Ben Stiller movies, probably more than the average movie-goer. Of all his films, I think that Meet the Parents might be at the top of my list. I'm not usually a fan of movies where things go from bad to worse (i.e., Christmas Vacation), but this movie does it so incredibly well. Ben Stiller and Robert De Niro has an amazing rapport, the supporting cast is stellar, and the jokes hit one after another. There is no dry spot in the movie, with every scene adding to the completely picture. Comedy is subjective, but this movie is hilarious.
