DeNiro and Stiller are a great team

Rating: 8/10 (4 December 2000)

Ben Stiller has become the poster boy for neuroses, and here he is very good as the horribly-named Greg Focker (there are other name issues). Meet The Parents is the story of his trip to the parents of his girlfriend (Teri Polo), and her parents (Robert DeNiro and Blythe Danner). Jack takes a particular interest in Greg's background, and as the lies grow, so does the comedy.
Meet The Parents is very funny and features great performances from DeNiro, Stiller, and Owen Wilson as Polo's ex, and is ably directed by Jay Roach.
