Ben Stiller in trouble again...

Rating: 6/10 (23 January 2001)

A comedy, not brighter than a sitcom, starring Ben Stiller and Robert deNiro. Not many things to comment on, except that the script seems like written by a team again, because there are tiny bits missing I believe.

Well Ben Stiller is again in trouble, except that he has no "hair gel" to meddle with, instead the father of his fiancee, who is almost paranoidly obsessed with his daughter, and the family cat. Not a bit of improvement on acting skills in Stiller's compartment, De Niro is the same, shining and leaving the audience in sheer curiosity: why does he act in these ludicrous movies?
If there are no movies to go and see other than this, OK; but if you have time and an alternative to "Meet The Parents", just wait until they release it on tape, rent it, just laugh through it, and forget about it in an hour.
