Over-hyped disappointment

Rating: Null/10 (30 April 2001)

Hello all,
Well I must say "Meet the Parents" was a disappointment. Not very many laughs. Not nearly as funny as "There's Something About Mary" (Ben Stiller), or "Analyze This" (Di Niro). I'm a huge Di Niro fan, but even he couldn't save this one. Di Nero is funniest when he is doing a parody of himself, this material just wasn't right for him.
Stiller was ok, but once again a script that tries too hard for laughs just isn't funny.
Forget this one and go rent the zero-budget "Clerks" with an unknown cast - a much more ingenious comedy.
