Compared to Meet The Parents?

Rating: 7/10 (8 June 2006)

To compare the two would be grossly unfair to Meet The F******, which is not as good as Meet The Parents, that is obvious. But watched on it's own merit, and it's brilliant. Ben Stiller is brilliant as Gaylord F*****, battling to make sure that he's in Jack Byrnes' good books, while also trying to stay close to his parents. Teri Polo, is adorable as his wife and is more likable then in the original, which was a slight problem in the original. The Byrnes' convey well their family unit and the idea that their marriage has slowly fizzled, while on the complete opposite of the spectrum is the F******, who are absolutely brilliant, where else could you get a rambling lovable stay-at-home-dad and a sex therapist as your parents. A great ensemble cast, that provide the laughs and keep the movie rolling. One To Watch
