All Gay-Lord Focker and Pamela want to do is get engaged but meeting the parents isn't as easy as they didn't thought. Every scene in this movie is something worth watching. Whether it's overflowing the septic tank or setting the house... Full review

For some reason it seemed that Ben Stiller was overshadowed by De Niro in this movie but that does not take away from the fact that Meet the Parents was a very very good movie. It was quite funny and for... Full review

Yuck! I thought I was going to puke! Robert De Niro is despicable and Teri Polo is a bland patsy. Ben Stiller was the usual nerdy studmuffin he always is, a not very funny one at that.... Full review

Director Jay Roach is only signed up to produce the third instalment of the Fockers' hilarious adventures, so another director is being sought.
Ben Stiller is back with a new generation of Fockers As in the previous movies plenty of slapstick comedy is expected as Greg tries to impress his disapproving father-in-law Jack, played brilliantly by De Niro.

It would be hard to come up with a more routine concept for a mainstream comedy.
Worst of all, De Niro's character turns out to be a certifiably paranoid ex-CIA spy-catcher convinced his daughter's suitor is a degenerate drug fiend.

Enough of the movie looked good to muster a "C"
A good cast supported a fun premise to make the film mostly enjoyable.
It's a funny and charming flick for the most part.

Director Jay Roach of the "Austin Powers" films keeps the pace brisk, and the script by Jim Herzfeld and John Hamburg ably piles the pratfalls ludicrously high.
But this is an unfortunate side effect of a high concept comedy like this - the characters become functions of their situations.

Stiller's objective is to "Meet the Parents" and win them over in order to acquire their consent to marry Pam.
It's a very funny film (the first meeting sequence is absolutely wonderful), you'll have good hardy laughs, but the third act is a little messy.
