Awful

Rating: 1/10 (10 August 2005)

I only managed about the first 30 minutes of this movie, then couldn't take any more, so don't have too much to say, other than this film is terrible.
The jokes and humour in this film are so obvious, unsubtle and stupid they don't even bring a smile to your face. Each scene is contrived and false, it loses all coherence as any kind of competent film.
Of course there are no real rules for comedy other than a film needs to be funny, but it helps to have believable characters and plot, otherwise, awkward and amusing situations don't work. It looked like it was the first time Ben Stiller had ever met his parents.
Meet the Parents was mildly amusing, this was just rubbish. 1/10.
