Funny and entertaining

Rating: 7/10 (30 December 2000)

Since I didn't expect much before I saw this film, I was quite surprised when Meet the Parents turned out to be very entertaining and funny from the beginning to the end. Most comedies are very funny the first thirty minutes or so and then keeps going and going with about one joke per 15 minutes. That's not the case with this movie. Sure, one can discuss whether Ben Stiller can play more than one character or not, but his acting style suits this film perfectly. Of course, De Niro is brilliant as the father-in-law from hell. Meet the Parents is a genuinely funny and entertaining comedy. (7/10)
